**Please Note:** Please don't test your biller setup with NATS CoinGate's test account—it won't work correctly.

## Billers Admin

To add CoinGate to NATS, select "CoinGate" from the dropdown menu list of billers next to "Setup New Biller" in the [Billers Admin](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/nats-admin/billers). Once selected, click "Add" on the right side of the page to finish adding CoinGate.

**Please Note:** If you don't see CoinGate, [put in a support ticket](http://clients.toomuchmedia.com/), as you may need an updated version of NATS.
{% endhint %}

Once you have added the Biller you will be able to edit biller-specific account information by clicking the pencil icon next to CoinGate labeled, "Edit CoinGate Account Info". You will need to get the API Token from CoinGate.

For information on how to create an api\_key (access token) please check out the following url:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please Note:** CoinGate returns the surfer to NATS only when they are approved and the surfer clicks on the 'Back to Merchant' button. Because of this, CoinGate does not support the NATS cascade feature. CoinGate also does not require you to configure a postback URL.
{% endhint %}

## Sites Admin

CoinGate requires no site-specific information to be modified in your tour configuration. Instead, join options with CoinGate must be configured as a special join option by clicking "Set Special Payment Options" next to the site for which you would like to set up a CoinGate join option in the [Sites Admin](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/nats-admin/sites).

* CoinGate Amount: The transaction amount of the join option.
* CoinGate Currency: This is the currency that will be used to calculate the transaction amount in cryptocurrency based on what is set for the Amount field.
* CoinGate Recieve Currency: - This is the currency you will receive your transaction payouts from CoinGate system in.
  * CoinGate offers the following currencies:
    * Euro (EUR)
    * US Dollar (USD)
    * Bitcoin (BTC)
    * Litecoin (LTC)
    * Etherium (ETH)
    * Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
    * DO\_NOT\_CONVERT which is used to keep both Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) payments

## Additional Information

Because expirationCoinGate does not postback information regarding the member's expire date, the following fields are required:

* CoinGate Active Number: This is the number of days, hours or minutes you would like to set for the duration of the subscription.
* CoinGate Active Period: This is the unit of time for which you would like the Active Number to be active

For example, a special join option with Active Number: 1 and Active Period: DAY will be a join option that expires after 1 day.
