Why isn's there Combined NATS checks?
 

If it was possible to set up NATS sites to pay out on one check that would be too awesome.

I hate promoting NATS sites because it seems I always have just below the min payout sitting their waiting for me, but can never make it because I am not promoting it anymore.
I know I can ask for it to be payed out, but its a huge pain in the ass.


I know I would promote more NATS sites if I could group them.

I'd love to see a cheaper version for use with ccbill (3rd party payouts) and able to merge with existing ccbill accts.

There is a huge market there waiting to be tapped.

if I am not mistaken, I think epoch and mpa3 might be doing something similar to this soon

I've been asking em to do this since the inception of NATS.

Sounds like a lot of work since Nats never even touches any of my money. How would Nats do this?

they would strike a deal with on the processor level, and have nats installed the processors backend, where it would all be run from there

so, if you wanted to sign up for a ccbill program, you would get a nats like interface, and a full nats backend for each ccbill program you were signed up under

Ya I know this, would just make it too easy if I could get a single payout though.

NATS could even try and start something like this within themselves and throughb an independant check cutting service

people can check the option to be part of the "NATS Payout Network", and when they check that they have to make sure they login to the central Nats control center and enter in all their programs, so that when check time comes, the program reports to the central nats network, then the central nats network reports to the checvk cutting service....all that is left is for the program to cut nats a check for the money they paid out to the affiliates

it would be pretty simple, but at the same time risky for NATS, because they could have programs that cut and run and don't pay them the affiliate money that is due...but they coul;d also tell the program that affiliate money must be in on a certain date, then 3 days later funds can be verified and sent to the affiliates

NATS isn't a processor

I can confirm that epoch's stats will be provided by mansion... kinda a MPA3 lite. As far as the merging checks we'll have to see ;)

They announced it unofficially at internext, without too many people noticing.

Yea nats could make a lot of money cutting checks ... definitly. And if they did merged and charged each aff progrma, they would make even more.

yeah, i read that....fucking great idea ;)

fuck yeah man, they could charge programs a fee for using the service and charge affiliates for using it also

i've been meaning to ask John about this - i've seen a few posts by him and nathan that sound like they are trying to come up with something that will allow programs using NATS to integrate with CCBILL where payouts come from CCBILL while the program still uses NATS. There are definitely a ton of people who really do prefer using CCBILL's stuff - one is just the trust factor, you have alot of pretty small operators using NATS, and the other one is the minimum payout issue - lots of affiliates promote a whack of sites and send one signup a week to a site - most programs are set to delay payment by a pay period, bottom line is it can take a couple months to reach the minimum and get a check when you're a small guy.

IF I was a programmer I'd create a product just for CCBILL - much of it would just be a replication of what is in CCBILL's admin but there are features that could be added such as campaign tracking, gallery builder, shopping cart etc

They're working on this... it won't be cheaper though.. course.. they might change their mind on that one.
