Fraud detection
The process of identifying and preventing invalid traffic, fake referrals, self-referrals, and other abusive activity within an affiliate program.
How Fraud detection work
Affiliate fraud detection looks for anomalous patterns: multiple conversions from the same IP, unusually high click-to-conversion ratios, self-referrals (affiliates buying under their own link), or bulk coupon abuse. Program owners can review flagged activity in Partnero and reject suspicious commission requests before payout.
Why it matters for your program
Affiliate fraud erodes program profitability and fairness. Honest affiliates suffer when fraudulent partners take a disproportionate share of payouts. Catching fraud early — before commissions are paid — is critical. Most fraud is detectable with basic pattern analysis; having a manual review step before payouts is the simplest first line of defence.
