Streamate
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 Streamate integration through the Third Party Admin. However, adding Streamateis a 4 step process, which uses the following three admins:
Third-Party Admin
To add Streamate 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 "Streamate" from the "Add New Third Party Partner" drop-down menu then click the Add button.
Next, fill in the StreaMate Username, StreaMate Password, and Referrer ID that you received from StreaMate. Default NATS code (optional) can also be added here.
Next, navigate to the "Fees" tab to set your Streamate 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 Streamate 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 Streamate 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 Streamate site from the drop-down list of Site Tours, or choose your Streamate 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 Streamate, 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 Streamate. 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 Streamate type-in traffic.
Obtaining Member Information before redirecting to Streamate
If you desire to have NATS record member information before redirecting to Streamate, you configure NATS to do so. There are two (2) ways to accomplish this.
1. Deep linking (Affiliate controlled):
With Allow Join Deeplink? ticked in the configuration in the Third Party Admin, affiliates can deep link to the NATS pre-join page to capture member details before being redirected to the Streamate site to complete the signup process.
2. Site's Streamate URLs (Admin controlled):
By configuring the STREAMATE URL on the NATS site's tour page to the NATS pre-join form (linkdomain/signup/signup.php), surfer's are directed to the NATS pre-join page before being sent to Streamate to complete the signup process.
