There certainly is. I can assist you with understanding how that is done although I see some of our clients have already provided some valuable information.

Also I have seen some bugs with this CCBILL PAID thing in the past, joins appearing in NATS but not in my CCBILL affiliate...
While I like NATS, I don't think that switching to NATS by itself would improve conversions. I think it's often that the NATS programs manage their sites better, update more, have multiple billers, etc.
But I'm sure in some cases NATS would be an improvement. I have seen some custom solutions built around CCBILL on some paysites. Eg. users have to register first instead of paying right away. I have a hunch some of those don't track properly, and NATS would be much better.

Nice job BigFurry. The actual feature you would use to allow CCBill to make your affiliate payments is called
CCBill Paid Program. Yes this means CCBill would have to be the payment processor to payout affiliates.
Additionally you can set this up so that affiliate traffic is directed to the CCBill cascade for the purpose of affiliate payouts, and any organic traffic can go through a different cascade where perhaps you have another cascade setup with different billing options.

Spicy, while CCBill is a great partner of ours, the features and overall capabilities in NATS exceed what is possible in CCBill's program. I'm not knocking them by any means, as we work very closely with them, but there is a huge difference in the capabilities of the 2 solutions.
