Fraud detection

This function helps safeguard your affiliate program from fraudulent or suspicious activities, such as self-referrals and invalid traffic sources.

You can choose to allow or prevent commissions when certain conditions are detected.

You have to move to Settings > General

We offer four types of Fraud protection:

• Same Affiliate and Customer email address Prevent commissions if the affiliate and customer share the same email address, which commonly indicates self-referrals.

• Same Affiliate and Customer IP address Block commissions when the affiliate and customer place an order from the same IP address.

• Same Affiliate and Customer first and last name Detect and prevent commissions when the affiliate and customer have matching names.

• Referral sales via Google Ads Prevent commissions for orders generated through Google Ads traffic if you do not allow affiliates to run paid ads.

When a conversion is automatically denied by Fraud Protection, it will appear in the Conversions list with a Denied status. You can hover over to see the specific reason the order was blocked
