Programs in NATS determine the method by which affiliates get paid, as well as how much they get paid. The program owner may offer several different programs that may be based on member joins, rebills, unique hits, raw hits, etc.

Managing in NATS is done through the Programs Management Admin Page which displays all of the programs in your NATS.&#x20;

## Common Programs

Two commonly used Program types in NATS are **Pay Per Programs** and **Revenue Sharing Programs**

* **Pay Per Programs** pays affiliates if they send traffic that results in a Raw Hit, a Unique Hit, a Qualified Hit, a Join / Sale, a Rebill / Repeat Billing, or a Full Join.
* **Revenue Sharing Programs** shares site revenue with the affiliate who originally referred the surfer based on a percentage determined by the NATS Program owner.&#x20;

## Program Management

The Programs Management displays all of the programs in your NATS. You can access the Program Overview as well as create, manage, and edit your programs.
