Step 1.

Open Settings → Fraud Prevention.

Step 2.

Turn fraud protection on if you want the system checks to run.

Step 3.

Review the self-purchase and same-household controls.

Step 4.

Review coupon-stuffing and stacked-discount behavior.

Step 5.

Set the daily and high-value thresholds that match your program.

Step 6.

Confirm the fraud alert email if you want suspicious activity notifications sent to a specific inbox.

Settings explained

• Enable fraud prevention turns the review system on or off.
• Block self-purchase commissions stops partners from earning on their own purchases.
• Block same-household purchases helps catch activity tied to the same home or network.
• Coupon stuffing detection flags unusual discount patterns.
• Stacked discount rule tells the system when combined discounts are intentional.
• Threshold fields decide when behavior should be flagged.
• Fraud alert email controls where notifications should go.

Example

A merchant enables fraud prevention, blocks self-purchase commissions, keeps stacked discounts disabled, lowers the high-value review threshold before a seasonal promotion, and sends alerts to the operations inbox.

Tips and limits

• Review fraud settings before major promotions, not only after alerts appear.
• Lower thresholds create more review work, so tune them carefully.
• If alerts feel noisy, adjust the thresholds instead of disabling the whole page immediately.
