<b>Three merchants were stealing my commissions and I had no idea</b>

Started noticing clicks weren't converting on a couple stores that historically crushed it.

Dug in. One had quietly added a "got a coupon? click here" box at checkout that hijacks the last-click cookie to THEIR own affiliate. You send the buyer, they steal the credit at the finish line.

Now I run a kill-list:
— test checkout on every merchant before I promote
— if there's a coupon-box leak at checkout, I drop them
— I track conversion rate per merchant monthly and bench the droppers

Go do a fake checkout on your top 3 merchants today. Look for the leak box.
