== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is Affiliate Fraud Shield? =

Online advertising can mean life or death for an e-commerce merchant. Advertising can be a way to increase sales as well as a source of fraud.

Fraud resulting from unsavory affiliate marketing techniques increases the likelihood of chargebacks and revenue loss.

Our Affiliate Fraud Alerts™ helps merchants identify campaign threats before they become liabilities.

= How do I get an API Key? =

Call 877-634-9808 or visit our web page for more information.

= What does the AFS-Loader plugin do? =

When a customer orders a product from your website, information about the sale is transmitted to a database where it is
stored for analysis. The customer's payment information is stripped so that it does not include the security code, 
expiration date, or full card number.

Using this information, AFS will detect and prevent the most commonly perpetrated forms of affiliate fraud which can lead
to chargebacks and forteited processing rights.

= How does the AFS-Loader plugin work? =

The plugin is a generic loader which links to the same public javascript file located here:

	https://afs.chargebacks911.com/js/shield.js

When this script is loaded, Wordpress passes your API KEY and API TYPE to the script. When your API Key is assigned, our 
developers will review your website and determine which "Type" of operation will be necessary to capture your order data,
or to create a new "Type" that only applies to you. 

When a customer comes to your website and makes a purchase request, in most cases they will fill in an order form or
pass through a succession of order forms which collect the order data, customer, shipping and payment information.

At checkout, a copy of this information (without the card security code, expiration date, or full card number) is
transmitted to the Affiliate Fraud Shield API.

This information is then analyzed to detect suspicious activity that may lead to chargebacks or other problems, and
you can be notified before fulfilling the sale.
