It is intended to help you configure a basic traffic flow; advanced features are mentioned only briefly. This document is intended to be read by Web developers who will be implementing traffic flows on a Web site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Overview\">Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic Manager allows cascading payment configurations to be set up as a <strong>traffic flow<\/strong>. When a consumer attempts to sign up with your program and is denied for any reason, the consumer will be offered the next available payment option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Getting_Started\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic Manager can be located by logging into the CCBill Admin Portal at <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.ccbill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/admin.ccbill.com<\/a> and following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once logged in, click the <strong>Account Info<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click<strong> Account Admin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Traffic Manager<\/strong> link on the left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You will now see the main Traffic Manager screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Creating_a_Cascade_Configuration\">Creating a Cascade&nbsp;Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cascade configurations are <strong>individual payment options<\/strong> that will be available for consumers. Complete the following objectives to create a cascade configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Creating_a_Price_Point\">Creating a Price&nbsp;Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the <strong>Price Points<\/strong> tab to create a pricing option. Price points are the payment plan options that will be available to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the billing type, base currency, initial price, initial billing period, recurring price, recurring billing period, and the number of rebills using the fields provided. When finished, click the <strong>Save Price Point<\/strong> button to save your pricing option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Regional_Pricing_and_Multi-Currency\">Regional Pricing and&nbsp;Multi-Currency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regional Pricing<\/strong> and <strong>Multi-Currency<\/strong> allow you to customize your currency options for different geographical regions. These are considered advanced features and are beyond the scope of this document. Refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/ccbill.com\/doc\/regional-pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regional Pricing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ccbill.com\/doc\/multi-currency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multi Currency<\/a> pages for help in setting up these features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Creating_the_Configuration\">Creating the&nbsp;Configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the <strong>Configurations <\/strong>tab and then the <strong>Create New Configuration<\/strong> button to begin setting up your configurations. A blank configuration will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>General Information<\/strong> section, fill out the following fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name.<\/strong> Enter a descriptive name for the configuration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Description.<\/strong> Enter an extended description of the configuration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Processor.<\/strong> Select the name of the company who will be processing the transaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Payment Type.<\/strong> Select the payment type for the configuration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Selecting_a_Form\">Selecting a&nbsp;Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Form Design<\/strong> section, select the type, layout, and theme for your form. The appearance of the form will be shown below the fields. Optionally, you may edit your form options by clicking the <strong>Form Options<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Selecting_Pricing_Options\">Selecting Pricing&nbsp;Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Pricing <\/strong>section, you will choose which price points are available for this configuration; these price points are the options from which consumers will be able to make a selection on the signup form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose between <strong>Standard Pricing<\/strong> and <strong>Regional Pricing<\/strong>. Regional Pricing is an advanced feature; for the purpose of this guide, standard pricing will be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will see two boxes; the box on the left shows the price points you have set up. To add a price point to the configuration, click and drag it to the box on the right. You may optionally create a new price point from this screen by clicking the <strong>Create New Pricing<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the purposes of this guide, the <strong>Multi-Currency<\/strong> and <strong>Advanced Parameters<\/strong> sections will be left to their default values. Both are advanced features and are not needed for basic configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Saving_the_Configuration\">Saving the&nbsp;Configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When finished creating the configuration, click the <strong>Save <\/strong>button. You will see a confirmation dialog box indicating your changes were saved successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may create additional configurations by clicking the <strong>Create New Configuration<\/strong> button. You may also edit existing configurations by clicking the Configurations tab at the top of the screen and then clicking the <strong>Edit<\/strong> button next to the configuration you wish to modify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The configurations you create will be used in a traffic flow, as explained in the following section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Creating_a_Traffic_Flow\">Creating a Traffic&nbsp;Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When all your configurations have been created and saved, you must create a traffic flow to implement your configurations. Click the <strong>Traffic Flows<\/strong> tab at the top of the screen to go to the Traffic Flows area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>General Information<\/strong> section, enter a descriptive <strong>Name <\/strong>and extended <strong>Description <\/strong>in the fields provided. <strong>Post Proxy URL<\/strong> and <strong>Filter <\/strong>can be left to their default values for the purposes of this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Status <\/strong>field, select Active or Inactive. Active traffic flows are available to be used while Inactive ones are disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Configurations <\/strong>section, you will see two boxes; the box on the left shows all configurations you have created. To add a configuration to the traffic flow, simply drag and drop the desired configuration into the box on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When finished, click the <strong>Save <\/strong>button. This will complete the traffic flow creation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once saved, you may optionally create additional traffic flows by clicking the <strong>Create New Traffic Flow<\/strong> button at the bottom of the screen. You may also edit exiting traffic flows by clicking the Traffic Flows tab at the top of the screen and then clicking the <strong>Edit <\/strong>button next to the traffic flow you wish to modify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HTML code must now be generated to implement the traffic flow on your site, as explained below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Generate_Code\">Generate Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon saving your traffic flow, the code for your traffic flow should be generated automatically; if not, click the <strong>Generate Code<\/strong> button. You may click the <strong>Copy Code<\/strong> button to copy the code to your computer\u2019s clipboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This code can now be placed on your Web site. Place the code anywhere you would place a <em>join now<\/em> or <em>sign up today<\/em> type of link. When consumers click the link, they will be taken directly to the signup form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction This quick start guide will show you how to set up
