🛡️ Self-Referral Fraud Detection

I've added an important security feature to protect your affiliate program from self-referral fraud, saving you from paying unearned commissions.

Update details

What's New:

  • Automatic Detection: The system now automatically identifies and flags potential self-referrals
  • Dashboard Alerts: Suspicious referrals are highlighted in your dashboard for easy review
  • Action Controls: Take appropriate actions directly from the dashboard:
    • Reject specific referrals to prevent commission payments
    • Block affiliates engaging in fraudulent behavior
    • Review detailed evidence before making decisions

Why I Added This:

Self-referrals can significantly impact your program's ROI and undermine its integrity. This feature helps maintain a fair program where commissions are earned honestly, not through exploiting the system.

How It Works:

The detection system uses multiple data points to identify when affiliates are likely referring themselves. You maintain full control over the final decision, with clear information to guide your actions.
