AffiliateWP - Fraud Prevention

Fraudulent referrals can lead to commissions being credited for activity that does not fit your program’s rules. This add-on gives AffiliateWP users controls to monitor referral activity and respond to potential abuse. You can choose whether to flag or block self-referrals, and set how visits and referrals from websites an affiliate has not listed should be handled.

Conversion rate thresholds offer another way to spot unusual affiliate activity. Set expected ranges, then flag affiliates whose rates fall outside them. Fraud prevention settings are managed from the AffiliateWP settings page, so program owners can adjust how suspicious activity is handled. It suits businesses that run an affiliate program with AffiliateWP and want added oversight of referrals and commissions.

Features

• Self-referral controls: Flag or block referrals when affiliates make purchases through their own accounts, helping prevent commissions from being earned on their own purchases.
• Unlisted website rules: Choose whether to allow, flag, or reject visits and referrals from websites affiliates have not specified in their accounts.
• Conversion rate thresholds: Set expected conversion rate ranges and flag affiliates whose rates are unusually high or low for review.
• Custom fraud settings: Manage fraud prevention parameters from the AffiliateWP settings page and tailor how the add-on handles suspicious activity.
• Automated referral flagging: Monitor affiliate traffic and flag suspicious referrals automatically, reducing the need to review every referral manually.

Best for

• Businesses running an AffiliateWP program
