Due to concerns raised by affiliates regarding the NATS 3.1.x Instant Payments and Verified Signups features, Too Much Media would like to announce that the following changes have been implemented in NATS 3.1.16 and higher: Instant Payments and the supporting feature of Verified signups will be moved from the main, built-in functionality of the program and made into a separate module. This means that by default Instant Payments and Verified Signups will no longer be a part of the standard NATS 3.1 program. This new, separate module will be called the Instant Payments Module.
The Instant Payments feature was implemented into NATS 3.1 as per client requirements. In order to protect NATS program owners from potential fraud with Instant Payments, the Verified Signup feature was added. This feature reduces the chance that erroneous traffic and signups could be sent to a NATS program and an Instant Payment could be sent prior to the aforementioned signups being credited or charged back by the processor. The recent concerns about Instant Payments and Verified Signups raised by NATS affiliates is of great importance to us and we wish to make the use of this feature as safe as possible to all parties involved, as well as completely optional on the part of NATS program owners.
In addition to moving this functionality to a new module, as a standard policy, we at Too Much Media will be requiring the following in order to implement and use the Instant Payments Module:
1. All NATS program owners using the Instant Payments Module will be required to show both verified and unverified signups in the affiliates? stats pages.
2. All NATS program owners using the Instant Payments Module will be required to provide Too Much Media admin access to their NATS install and server access to ensure that the feature is being used as intended.
3. In addition to these policies, installed NATS modules are always visible from license.php ? this means that on any given NATS affiliate program, you will be able to find out if this module is installed by visiting www.domain.com/license.php, where www.domain.com is the URL for any given NATS affiliate program site.
At Too Much Media, we strive to put forth the best affiliate tracking package the market has to offer and to maintain the integrity of the NATS name and software. As such, the concerns and needs of our clients, as well as their affiliates are of the utmost importance ? we want NATS to be a name that can be trusted by affiliates and webmasters alike for the protection of all parties involved from fraud and / or cheating. We would like to thank everyone for brining to us their concerns and hope that the new implementation of Instant Payments Module will meet industry needs and provide safe, quality functionality to our customers and their affiliates.
