Hello,

people asked for a NATS statement, so here it is:

1) Datalink is a system to retreive transaction data from their backend for a period of time.

2) NATS uses this system to grab rebills, credits, chargebacks and expired members from them.

3) Because we understood the limitations of Datalink from day one, and can understand the load too many requests for too much data can cause, we have from day one deceided to make sure we do not lose data, we only grab the info once a day at night for the last 24 hours.

4) We have also been working together with CCBill in the past few weeks because we also noticed datalink problems for our clients where rebill info could not be fetched well enough and similar things.

5) SALE info is still realtime, and thats the most important. But if a NATS client wishes, they can change the amount of times per day they update their data from ccbill for rebills and the like without us having to change anything in their system.

I hope this explains a little better what this is all about and how this impacts any NATS client (specifically: not at all).
