2. Customer decides not to signup.
3. Customer comes back in as a typein three hours later and joins. (Epoch join comes up)
Case B:
1. Customer clicks CCBill link.
2. Customer decides not to signup.

To give affiliates credit for ccbill with epoch I know that the link must go through ccbill's cascading. I also tried Case A right now and it went to epoch without cascading first through ccbill and it seemed to bypass Nats entiely.
So unless I am mistaken you aren't giving me any credit now unless customers buy right away. Not good from my point of view if so.
To fix it you have to change some things around like use nats to direct returning surfers to go through the ccbill cascade or otherwise set up a special cookie and where detected send them to the right primary processor.
My apologies if I am wrong on something but this is how I understand it. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this and what looks to be occurring.

Affiliate traffic for kinkykicks.net is currently set to a different tour than type-in traffic. So if the surfer bookmarks the page that you have sent them to then any credit for the sale should be safe. The current default affiliate tour (
www.kinkykicks.net/tour) is currently set to direct to a CCBill join page for all referred traffic.
The only scenario where this could be compromised is if the surfer didn't bookmark the tour and returned via our main front splash page. This takes you to
www.kinkykicks.net/tourseo which is currently by-passing NATS.
The beauty of NATS is that I can (and have been) using rules so that affiliate traffic only gets a CCBill form on any tour regardless of where they enter the site and I can use whatever cascade I want for my type-in traffic.
I must confess that I'm seeing pro's and cons for both setups but I am possibly leaning towards keeping the NATS setup.
