Affiliate leakage auditing

Stop leaking 8–15% of your affiliate budget to coupon hijackers and duplicate claims.

Sale Defend audits every order against your networks in real time — flagging unauthorized coupon attribution, cross-network double claims and unreversed returns before your 30–60 day lock window closes.

New accounts open on a fully populated demo brand.

Built for every side of the affiliate channel.

The same audit engine, framed around what each team is accountable for.

For brands & D2C teams

8–15% of commission budget goes to coupon aggregators and browser extensions claiming sales you had already won.

Protect margin, reclaim $2k–$15k a month before payout lock dates, and only reward genuinely incremental partners.

  • Live Shopify order ingestion
  • One-click network reversals
  • Pay from your network balance

For agencies & OPMs

Clients blame affiliate for rising blended CAC while your team burns hours cross-checking spreadsheets and dispute logs.

Show quantified fraud protection per client and run retroactive 90-day audits to win new retainers on the pitch call.

  • Multi-brand switching
  • Client-ready audit exports
  • Automated dispute packs

For networks & compliance

Rogue publishers stuffing cookies and bidding on TM+ coupons erode merchant trust and create chargeback disputes.

Give merchants verifiable compliance auditing that cleans the ecosystem and keeps high-value advertisers on platform.

  • Cross-network deduplication
  • Partner health scores
  • API compliance checks

The four ways commission quietly walks out the door.

Browser extension hijacking

Honey, Capital One Shopping and similar tools drop a last-click cookie at checkout on a sale you already earned.

Unapproved & leaked codes

Influencer codes reposted on coupon aggregators, or codes used by partners who were never approved for them.

Duplicate multi-network claims

The same order number claimed on two networks, paid twice because neither network can see the other.

Unreversed returns

Refunded and cancelled orders that stay approved in the payout report and get paid out anyway.

How we work with you.

01

Connect or upload

Point a Shopify webhook at Sale Defend, or drag in a historical order export and a network commission report. Five minutes, no engineering work.

02

Automated reconciliation

Every order is checked against approved codes, referrer and extension signals, IP subnet velocity, and claims from every connected network.

03

Reverse and dispute

Approve reversals through the network API where supported, or export a ready-to-submit dispute pack — all before the commission locks.

Flexible payment options

Pay with budget you've already deposited with your networks.

Most brands have funds sitting in escrow with Impact, CJ, Awin, TUNE, Everflow or Rakuten and nothing spare in the software budget. Ask about paying for Sale Defend from that balance. Availability and setup depend on your network and account terms; we’ll confirm the right arrangement before any placement is made.

Affiliate network balance

Pay as a recurring placement from funds you already hold with Impact, CJ, Awin, TUNE or Rakuten.

Card or invoice

Standard monthly card payment with instant activation, or annual invoicing for larger programs.

Recovery-share for enterprise

Larger programs can agree a share of recovered commission instead of a flat monthly fee.

And it usually pays for itself: if the first audit recovers more than the fee, the whole cost comes back out of the same account it was paid from.
