NOTE: Free trials are currently not 100% supported by NATS, because Paypal does not return PDT information for free trials. Paypal does not return the information required to identify a member when performing a free trial. If you still want to offer the free trial, please alter the cascade\_security template for your sites, keeping in mind that the person shown that template may or may not have been signed up to your site. If you would like free trials to work the same as normal sales for cascading, please ask Paypal to return Payment Data Transfer in the return url for free trials. ## Set up PayPal in NATS ### Billers Admin To begin setting up PayPal as a biller in NATS, go to the [Billers Admin](/nats-admin/billers.md).
