Article Topics: Customization, Billers

As an important component of NATS, payment processors, also referred to as Billers, contain vital settings for configuring how they function in NATS. In the Configuration Admin's "Billers" section, you will find both general settings pertaining to all billers as well as biller-specific settings to configure the individual nature of each biller you have integrated within NATS.

General Settings

• Gateway Allowed IPs - Comma-delimited list of IPs allowed to post cross sales to process gateway.

• Biller No Userpass - Set whether to pass the member username and password to the biller.

• Gateway Timeout - Set the number of seconds before a gateway timeout.

• Member Expire Pad - Set whether to use the default member expiration pad. The default member expiration padding is half (1/2) of a period length, to a maximum of 7 days.

• Member Expire Pad Days - Set the number of days to pad all member expiration.

• Fake Upgrades - Set whether to allow fake upgrades from Billers that do not support instant upgrades.

• Activate On Pending Rebill - Set whether to reactivate members who have received a Pending Rebill.

• Activate On Pre Rebill - Set whether to reactivate members who have received a pre-rebill.

• Activate On Pending Conversion - Set whether to reactivate members who have received a Pending Conversion.

• Activate On Pre-Conversion - Set whether to reactivate members who have received a Pre-Conversion.

• Allow No Package ID - Set whether to allow options with no package ID to act as their own package group.

• Never Expire Token Members - Set whether to never expire token members when deduction or cancel transactions occur.

• Credit Expires Now - Set whether to expire members immediately on credit.

• Void Expires Now - Set whether to expire members immediately on void.

• Chargeback Expires Now - Set whether to expire members immediately on chargeback.

• IGM Allows Cancel Offers With Loyalty Discounts - Set whether to enable the setup of cancel offers that allow for loyalty discounts.

Biller Specific Settings

In addition to General Settings, there will be biller-specific configuration options for every biller you have integrated within NATS. Biller Specific Settings may vary based on what billers are configured in your NATS install. Generic settings include using posts, automatic upgrades, expiration dates, allowed IPs, etc.

• Allow Create New Member - Allows NATS to attempt to create a new member if the information sent by the biller does not match any current never-joined member in NATS.

• Automatic Upgrades - Tells NATS to remove the trial flag without notifying the biller when a member submits upgradeplus.php.

• Poll Backdays - When NATS polls for transactions, re-check this many extra days

• Set Expire Date - Determines the NATS expiration date of the member. This setting has four different options:

  • NATS Set - based on the period length of the option in NATS.

  • Biller Set - based only on the expiration date sent with the transaction.

  • Earliest - the earliest value of NATS set vs. Biller Set

  • Latest - the latest value of NATS set vs. Biller Set

Please Note: Regardless of this setting, If the biller sends an explicit 'cancel' or 'expire' post, that will be used.

• Member Expire Pad - Use the default member expiration padding for the selected biller.

• Member Expire Pad Days - Pad all member expiration dates with this number of days for the selected biller.

• Allowed IPs - Lists the IPs that are allowed to submit transactions for the biller.

  • This setting can not be modified.

• Activate Member on Deduction Reversal - If this biller supports deduction reversals (undoing a chargeback), choose if you want to reactivate members upon deduction reversal.
