NATS4 AdultFriendFinder
Note: Third-parties do not notify NATS about new sales and sign-ups immediately -- there may be up to a 24-hour delay before NATS records third-party transactions.
NATS4 offers AdultFriendFinder integration through the Third Party Admin. However, adding AdultFriendFinder is a 4 step process, which uses other admins as well.
Third Party Admin
To add AdultFriendFinder to your NATS install, you must first configure it through the Third Party Admin. On the main Third Party Admin page, select "AdultFriendFinder" from the "Setup New Third Party Partner" drop-down menu and click the Add button. Next, click the edit icon and enter your Affiliate ID, Password, and defaults NATS code (optional).
You can then select the optional Import Free Initials checkbox, which will retrieve free initial transactions from AdultFriendFinder (if it is not checked, NATS will only retrieve paid transactions). Please note that the first transaction nats retrieves (paid or not) will be counted as initial. Each subsequent transactions will be counted as a rebill. When you are done configuring these options, click Save.
Next, click on the "Set Fees" icon to set your AdultFriendFinder transaction charges and deduction fees, as well as when/where you want those fees deducted (after affiliate payout, from affiliate payout, and before affiliate payout). Once you have configured these options, click Add.
Sites Admin
The next step to configuring AdultFriendFinder is to add it to the Sites Admin. To do so, go to the sites admin and click the "Add a Site" tab at the top of the page.
On the next page, set your site type to "3rd Party", and give the it a site name, a short name, and set your site launch date. Click the Save Changes button, and navigate back to your Site List.
Next, find your new (AdultFriendFinder) site and click the "Edit" button to configure a tour for your new site. Under "3rd Party," select AdultFriendFinder from your drop-down menu. Enter your new site's link domain and enter your AdultFriendFinder URL under "Third Party Partner Details."
When you are done with this, you will be free to configure the other settings for your site and tour. Once you are done configuring your required fields, click Save Changes.
Programs Admin
- Go to the nats progrmas admin.
- Create a new disabled program or create a new enabled program. We recommend you create a new disabled program because new affiliates will NOT be automatically enrolled in this program. When you're ready to allow everyone to send you traffic through this program, you can enable the program to automatically enable the program for all affiliates. If you already have a program for this, you only need to do number 5.
- Select Standard Program for its type, give it a program name and a short name, and then click Add Program.
- Select whichever options you wish to employ for this program and then click Save Changes.
- Select your AdultFriendFinder site from the site drop-down list of sites (or tour from the drop-down list of tours) and click Add.
- Click the pencil icon on the far right in the bottom section on the page to edit your payout options for this program. Once you enter the payout amounts or percentages, click the Save button.
Type-in traffic
- After you configure a site and program, you can get an affiliate link code for your typein or in-house account. Once you have the nats code from that link code, go back to the Third Party Admin, edit AdultFriendFinder, and paste in an affiliate's NATS code into the default NATS code field. Note: that affiliate will receive credit for all type-in traffic you send to AdultFriendFinder. Please see the Getting The NATSCode article for help getting a NATSCode.
- If you don't do this, NATS can't track AdultFriendFinder type-in traffic
Note: Third-parties do not notify NATS about new sales and sign-ups immediately -- there may be up to a 24-hour delay before NATS records third-party transactions.
