Article Topics: Third-Party, Sites, Programs
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.
NATS offers SexyGoesMobile integration through the Third Party Admin. However, adding SexyGoesMobile is a 4 step process, which uses the following three admins:
Third-Party Admin
To add SexyGoesMobile 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."
Select "SexyGoesMobile" from the "Add New Third Party Partner" drop-down menu then click the Add button.
Next, fill in the Username, Password, and Link ID that you received from SexGoesMobile. Default NATS code (optional) can also be added here.
Next, navigate to the "Fees" tab to set your SexyGoesMobile transaction charges and deduction fees, as well as when/where you want those fees deducted (after affiliate payout, from affiliate payout, and before affiliate payout).
Sites
The next step to configuring SexyGoesMobile is to add it to the Sites Admin. To do so, go to the Sites Admin 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 SexyGoesMobile will involve navigation to the Programs Admin and creating a new disabled program.
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 article.
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 SexyGoesMobile site from the drop-down list of Site Tours, or choose your SexyGoesMobile 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 SexyGoesMobile, 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 SexyGoesMobile. Please see our NATS Code article for help obtaining your NATSCode.
Please Note: If you don't complete these steps, NATS will not be able to track SexyGoesMobile type-in traffic.
Additional Setup
Adding Tours
SexGoesMobile requires some additional setup in order to add SexGoesMobile functionality to your NATS install.
In order to use SexGoesMobile to create mobile tours for your sites, you must create a new third party site in NATS to be used with SexGoesMobile, so that NATS can accurately track your third party referrals.
For example, if you have 5 membership sites set in NATS, you can create a new third party site for SexGoesMobile that contains 5 separate tours -- each third party tour here represents a mobile tour created by SexGoesMobile for each of your membership sites
Instead of creating new tours for each site you want to use SexGoesMobile with, you can also add a new third party site in NATS for each site you want to use SexGoesMobile with. So using the previous example, you would have to create 5 new third party sites with SexGoesMobile compatibility -- one for each of your membership sites that you want to add a mobile tour to.
Learn more about mobile tours in our Mobile Tours article.
strack
In order to enable SexGoesMobile functionality with your NATS install, you must also alter the weiche.php script provided to you by SexGoesMobile to update the URL included in the script.
Locate the weiche.php script on your server, and find the URL contained in that script. This must be replaced with a NATS Strack link, which allows you to change the program, site, and tour used in that redirect. This ensures that your surfers will be redirected to your SexGoesMobile tour correctly.
To do so, use the following sample URL:
Replace <linkdomain> in the above link with your site's linkdomain, <nats_code> with the site's default NATS code, <site_id> with the ID number of the site you wish to redirect to, <tour_id> with the ID number of the tour you wish to redirect to, and <program_id> with the ID number of the program you wish to redirect to.
Please Note: Program ID, Site ID, and Tour ID must be defined in the above strack link, otherwise SexGoesMobile will not function properly with your NATS installation.
For more information on the strack feature in NATS, please see our Track article.
