E-commerce Fraud Landscape

What E-commerce Fraud Looks Like

Opticks detects all of these — and more — in real time across every traffic source in your campaigns.

Bot Clicks on Product Ads

Automated bots click your Shopping and product listing ads, consuming budget without any purchase intent.

Competitor Clicking

Rival brands drain your ad budget by repeatedly clicking your ads to exhaust your daily spend and push you off the page.

Fake Add-to-Carts

Bots simulate shopping behaviour — adding products to carts — polluting your analytics and inflating conversion data.

PMax & Shopping Campaign Fraud

Performance Max gives you less placement visibility, making it the ideal environment for fraudulent clicks to go unnoticed.

Retargeting Audience Pollution

Bot sessions end up in your remarketing lists, causing you to retarget non-existent shoppers over and over again.

Affiliate Attribution Fraud

Bad actors inject affiliate cookies or hijack last-click attribution to steal commissions on organic sales.
