Built-in fraud protection blocks the common abuse patterns - self-referrals, throwaway emails, duplicate signups - so you reward genuine business, not gamed numbers. ## What it does Fraud protection is built into every campaign. Click attribution is signed so referrals cannot be spoofed. Self-referral blocking stops partners from converting their own links, and disposable-email blocking rejects throwaway addresses used to fake signups. Deduplication prevents the same customer from being counted twice, and new-customer gating ensures you only reward genuinely new business. A traffic-quality view on each campaign surfaces suspicious patterns, like a spike of clicks with no conversions or many conversions from one source, so your team can investigate and revoke links when needed. ## The problem it solves Affiliate programs attract gaming, and unchecked fraud erodes trust and margin: * **Partners refer themselves** → Self-referral blocking rejects those conversions. * **Fake signups inflate numbers** → Disposable-email blocking filters throwaway addresses. * **The same customer is paid twice** → Deduplication counts each customer once. * **Existing customers get rewarded** → New-customer gating rewards only new business. ## From problem to solution Fraud protection keeps the program honest without manual policing. Signed attribution, blocking rules, deduplication, and a traffic-quality view mean you reward real conversions and catch abuse early. ## Use cases Reject partners converting their own links. Block disposable email addresses. Deduplicate customers. Monitor traffic quality. ## Impact * **Low total cost of ownership** - Partner ops sets fraud controls with no engineering. * **CRM-native** - Only clean, new business becomes CRM records and commission. ## Who it's for Configures and monitors fraud controls.
