CONVERSION PATH MANIPULATION

Most affiliate fraud happens after the click

Standard click-level filters only catch obvious bots. The most expensive affiliate fraud involves real human sessions where malicious affiliates manipulate attribution tags seconds before checkout.

VECTOR 01

Last-Click Hijacking

An affiliate fires an invisible redirect or drops an attribution cookie in the final seconds before conversion, stealing credit from genuine organic or paid channels.

VECTOR 02

Cookie Stuffing

Tracking cookies are injected silently via hidden iframe pixel fires without any user interaction or conscious referral, claiming unearned commissions.

VECTOR 03

Extension Overwrites

Predatory browser coupon extensions overwrite checkout cookies at the exact moment of payment, claiming credit on sales they had zero role in creating.

COMMISSION ENFORCEMENT

Audit reports categorized for finance teams

Before every monthly billing cycle, your finance and affiliate managers receive clean reports scoring every conversion into actionable statuses:

Approve

Clean traffic, natural buyer navigation, verified click-to-conversion timing, and untampered attribution paths.

Review

Minor telemetry anomalies or unusual referrer patterns present. Recommended for quick manual review before payment.

Hold

Strong suspicious signals including sub-second click-to-cart gaps or duplicate device fingerprints. Payouts paused pending review.

Reject

Clear evidence of cookie stuffing, unauthorized extension injection, or bot emulation. Commissions declined with proof dossiers.

COMPLEMENTARY AUDITING

Already running an ad fraud tool?

Most click-level tools score incoming traffic volume. They are not engineered to trace conversion-moment attribution changes or coupon extension overwrites. BotRefund runs silently in parallel, monitoring the conversion checkout stage without altering your current setup.
