There are two different cascade systems in play in this case.
First is the CCBill cascading system, which as far as I am aware allows you to send your denials to a few other processors they work with. This system, if configured properly on all ends (NATS, CCBill, the other processors) should function with no problems.
Second is the NATS cascading system, which is much more complex allowing you to send to dozens of processors (
http://wiki.toomuchmedia.com/index.php/NATS_Biller_List) including all types of payment methods, based on many conditions such as denials, geo-targetting, weighting, etc. This system also allows a very complex configuring (if you choose to) of the paths the cascades will follow with multiple conditions for the next at each step along the way.
The NATS cascading system will not function with a CCBill paid program as CCBill would need to pay out on the transactions that happen on these dozens of other processing solutions. CCBill as far as I am aware does not have a system where we can notify it directly of a specific arbitrary transaction to be paid out to a particular affiliate. If they can implement such as system, we would be happy to integrate it on our end, but until that exists there is no way for CCBill to know what to pay your affiliates for these transactions.
Because of this you currently can't use NATS cascading with the CCBill paid feature, but you will be able to use CCBill's cascading.
Feel free to lobby CCBill to implement this feature. We'd love to see it as much as you guys would!
Also, keep in mind, that once you are running on NATS with the CCBill paid program, you have the most advanced back-end system in the industry in place. When you are ready for your program to expand to include other payment platforms, issue your own payments, etc. you simply need to enable those features in your existing NATS install. NATS grows with your program, you won't be required to install another software and migrate to it.
You are also capable of running a CCBill paid program and a sponsor paid program under one NATS installation, allowing affiliates to use their preference. NATS has always been about allowing programs of any size to get started with NATS and grow their business with it. We feel this new feature fully opens to doors to anyone.
