You will then need to fill out the Biller Info for your cross sell, which should be provided to you by Sonic Bill. Fill in your Merchant Account, Site ID, Cross Sale Key, Product Code, Ref Code, and Postback Domain here, and click "Edit."
If you are receiving the cross sell, go to the "Incoming" section. Choose Sonic Bill from the biller drop-down menu, and click Add. When prompted, choose the site and program you want to associate with your cross sales, and fill in the "Comment" field.
