# Affiliate audit: checklist for your partner programme

**In short:** An affiliate audit checks four areas: programme (commission, terms), tracking (attribution, cookie window), partners (mix, activity) and risk (voucher leaks, fraud, law). The self-test shows in two minutes where it hurts.

Last updated: 2026-11-10

## Programme

-   Is commission based on margin and still profitable?
-   Are there written terms, including vouchers and self-purchases?
-   Do you pay on time after a clear review period?

## Tracking

-   Is every order attributed to the right partner, also across devices?
-   Do cookie window and attribution rule (last click or other) fit?
-   Are cancellations and returns deducted from commission?

## Partners and risk

-   Does revenue come from many partners or one or two?
-   Are voucher sites controlled that only grab the last click?
-   Is the advertising disclosure of partners regulated?

## Frequently asked questions

How often should I audit my programme?

At least once a year and after every major change to store, tracking or commission.

Does the self-test replace an audit?

No. It shows gaps. An audit checks your real data and contracts.
