NATS4 Geo-Targeting Cascades
NATS offers a Geo-Targeting feature that excludes surfers from certain cascades and join options based on their country and geographical location. This allows clients a great deal of flexibility in offering certain billing options and cascades to surfers.
Geo-Targeting A Cascade
To use geo-targeting on an entire cascade, click on the Edit icon and use the Target box to select the countries you want the cascade to work for. Select the countries you wish to exclude with the exclude box. Once you have selected what countries to include and exclude, click Save.
To geo-target specific steps in the cascade, click on the magnifying glass and then click the edit icon of the step you want to geo-target, or select the countries you want to include and exclude with the target and exclude scroll boxes and then click Save. The step will then only be performed for those countries. It is only necessary to select countries for either the target or exclude columns, as NATS will automatically exclude all countries not selected in "Target", or include all countries not selected in "Exclude".
Denials
When geo-targeted cascades are in effect, surfers from countries you've excluded will not go through any of the usual steps to join a site, but will instead be automatically redirected to the NATS denial page. This feature should be kept in mind when testing your join forms.
