NATS offers AdultFriendFinder integration through the Third Party Admin. However, adding AdultFriendFinder is a 4 step process, which uses the following three admins:

* [Third-Party Admin](/nats-admin/third-party.md)
* [Sites Admin](/nats-admin/sites.md)
* [Programs Admin](/nats-admin/programs.md)

## AdultFriendFinder vs. AdultFriendFinderAPI

AdultFriendFinder and [AdultFriendFinderAPI](/nats-admin/third-party/list-of-supported-third-party-partners/adultfriendfinderapi.md) have many similarities, particularly in the NATS Setup process. The major difference between the two Third Party Partners is in the hosting of your tours.&#x20;

If you are going to use your own hosted tours for the AdultFriendFinder third-party partner, you should make sure to also set up the AdultFriendFinderAPI in the [Third Party Admin](/nats-admin/third-party.md).&#x20;

Once you have set it up, you will need to use their API in order to post free members to Adult Friend Finder. Please contact AdultFriendFinder for more information on this.

Otherwise, if you are going to have AdultFriendFinder host the tours themselves, then you should only set up AdultFriendFinder in the [Third Party Admin](/nats-admin/third-party.md).

**Please 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.

## 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, click "Add a Partner."&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/xwfU4fLBfigZosjF97L3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Select "AdultFriendFinder" from the "Add New Third Party Partner" drop-down menu then click the Add button.&#x20;

Next, click the edit icon and enter your Affiliate ID, Password, and Default NATS code (optional).

You can then select the optional Import Free Initials checkbox, which will retrieve free initial transactions from AdultFriendFinder (if it is false, NATS will only retrieve paid transactions).&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please Note:** 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.
{% endhint %}

Next, navigate to the "Fees" tab to set your AdultFriendFinder [transaction charges and deduction fees](/nats-admin/third-party/third-party-overview.md#transaction-charges), as well as when/where you want those fees deducted (after affiliate payout, from affiliate payout, and before affiliate payout).&#x20;

## Sites

The next step to configuring AdultFriendFinder is to add it to the Sites Admin. To do so, go to the [Sites Admin](/nats-admin/sites.md) and click the "Add a Site" tab at the top of the page if you have not already created a Third-Party site in NATS, or simply select the appropriate site.

On the next page, set your site type to "3rd Party", and give it a site name, a short name, and set your site launch date. Click the "Add Site" button.

## Programs Admin

The next step in configuring AdultFriendFinder will involve navigation to the Programs Admin and creating a new disable program.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please Note:** You can also create a new enabled program, but we recommend you create a disabled program, as new affiliates will not be automatically enrolled in this program. When you're ready for your affiliates to send traffic through this program, you can enable it to automatically enroll all affiliates in the program.

Learn more about enabling affiliates to programs on our [How to Enable Affiliates to Programs](/nats-admin/programs/common-questions/how-to-enable-affiliates-to-programs.md) article.
{% endhint %}

Fill in the necessary information and choose the "Standard Program" option under the Program Type drop-down menu, then click Add Program.

On the next page, select your AdultFriendFinder site from the drop-down list of Site Tours, or choose your AdultFriendFinder tour from the list of tours, then click Add. Once you have set up your tour, click the pencil icon under Program Default Payouts to edit your payout options for this program. Enter your desired payout amounts or percentages, then click the Save button to save your program.

## Type-in Traffic

After you have finished configuring your site and program, you will be able to get an affiliate link code for your type-in/in-house affiliate account. Once you have gotten the NATS code from that link code, go back to the Third Party Admin, edit AdultFriendFinder, and paste the affiliate's NATS code into the default NATS code field. This affiliate will then receive credit for all type-in traffic sent to AdultFriendFinder. Please see our [NATS Code ](/using-nats/nats-admin-features/linkcodes/nats-code.md#getting-nats-code)article for help obtaining your NATSCode.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please Note:** If you don't complete these steps, NATS will not be able to track AdultFriendFinder type-in traffic.
