Check for Affiliate Self-Referrals and Fraud

Looks for affiliates earning on their own orders, refund-heavy referrals and odd traffic before you pay them.

THE PROMPT
Check my affiliate referrals from the last 60 days for signs of fraud. Flag referrals where the customer is the affiliate's own user account, affiliates whose referred orders are often refunded, visits from one referrer that come in large numbers and never convert, and referrals much bigger than that affiliate's usual. Show me each case with the evidence. Do not change anything until I say so. Then reject the referrals I pick and add a note to the affiliate.

What Happens When You Paste It

Your assistant picks the right abilities, pulls live data from your store and does the work. Here’s roughly how the conversation goes.

1
It reads first. Read abilities run straight away, so it’s working from your real catalog, not guessing.
2
It checks with you. Anything that writes to your store stops and asks before it goes ahead.
3
It’s all logged. Every ability call shows up in wp-admin, so you can see exactly what changed.
