Preventing Self-Referral in Afflr

Afflr provides fraud prevention settings that allow you to block affiliates from earning commissions on their own purchases. This can be achieved through email verification and IP address tracking.

Self Referral Via EMAIL

To prevent affiliates from purchasing through their own affiliate links by checking email addresses:

1. Navigate to the Afflr admin dashboard -> Settings -> General.

2. Under the Fraud Prevention section, toggle the button to enable "Block Self Referral Via EMAIL".

3. Click Save changes.

This setting ensures that if an affiliate's email matches the customer's email, the commission will be blocked.

Self Referral Via IP

To prevent affiliates from using different email IDs but purchasing from their own affiliate link by tracking IP addresses:

1. Navigate to the Afflr admin dashboard -> Settings -> General.

2. Under the Fraud Prevention section, toggle the button to enable "Block Self Referral Via IP".

3. Click Save Changes.

This feature detects repeated use of the same IP address and blocks commissions if an affiliate is attempting to self-refer using different emails but the same IP.

By enabling these settings, you can ensure fair affiliate commissions and prevent fraudulent activities within your program.
