Netbilling Native
Please don't test your biller setup with Netbilling Native's test account—it won't work correctly.
Note: this article is about using Netbilling as a native NATS biller. For the Netbilling gateway, please see the Netbilling article
Set up on Netbilling's Website
Register an account on Netbilling's website.
Please note: Netbilling uses the term Access Keyword to describe two different settings. To distinguish the two different settings, I've placed my own terms in brackets after the Netbilling terms.
Go to Security, Access Security, enable Direct Mode, and enter your IP address. Check the box for Enable Native Direct Mode v.2 Channel. You also need to enter your server's IP address on the same page next to Trusted static IP addresses. NATS won't work with NetBilling if you don't do this.
Set the Netbilling postback script to the following URL:
- http://linkdomain/signup/process_nbnative.php
Replace linkdomain with you linkdomain.
In order to ensure that rebills, credits, and other refunds are correctly retrieved by your NATS install, you should make sure you have the NetBilling " Enable Scriptable Reporting Interface" option selected.
Set up Netbilling in NATS
You must have PHP's mcrypt installed. Please see the PHP documentation.
There are several versions of the Netbilling protocol. Please follow the instructions that apply to your setup.
Netbilling Version 2
In the Billers Admin, select NetBilling Native from the Biller drop-down menu. Enter your 12 digit NetBilling account number. This number is displayed on the top of the first page when you log in to Netbilling. When adding it to the Billers admin please suffix a colon to the number; for example: 123456789012:
Enter your username; if you forgot your username, please email Netbilling's customer support. Enter your password.
In Sites admin, under Biller Details, enter your Site Tag and Access Keyword [Reporting Keyword]. You can find both of these by logging into Netbilling, going to Setup, Site Tools, Site Tags -- the site tag is on the main browse sites screen; the Access Keyword [Reporting Keyword] under the Scriptable Reporting Interface link.
Netbilling Version 3
In Billers Admin, select Netbilling Native from the Biller drop-down menu. Enter your Account number and your integrity key.
In Sites Admin, under Biller Details, enter your Site Tag and Access Keyword [Reporting Keyword]. You may also enter an Access Keyword [Control Keyword] for instant upgrades (see below).
Upgrade Subscription
To set up an Upgrade subscription, use the following link in your limited members area for user upgrades:

Replace <linkdomain> with your linkdomain. Replace <siteid> with your site ID number. Replace <username> with the name of the user trying to upgrade.
