Agentis Solution
Stop Leaked Influencer Codes From Shipping Orders Below Cost
When an influencer or affiliate discount code gets shared beyond its intended audience, Agentis still enforces that every resulting order clears your profit floor.
The Problem
Influencer and affiliate codes are usually priced assuming a specific audience size and an attached commission cost. Once a code is posted to a public coupon site or forwarded outside the original audience, order volume on that code can multiply well past what the economics were built for, and the merchant is often still paying the affiliate commission on top of the discount, compounding the margin hit.
How Agentis Solves It
Agentis does not monitor for code leakage across the web, that is a brand-protection or affiliate-network monitoring function. It evaluates the order in front of it: the discount applied, the affiliate commission if tracked, current COGS, freight, and FX, together, at checkout. An order that would ship below your profit floor gets blocked or modified regardless of how the code reached the customer who placed it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Agentis detect when an influencer code has leaked?
No. Agentis does not monitor coupon sites or social platforms for leaked codes; that is a brand- or affiliate-monitoring function. It focuses on the financial outcome: whatever volume a leaked code drives, orders that fall below your profit floor are blocked or modified. The order in front of Agentis at checkout carries the discount applied, the affiliate commission if it is tracked, current COGS, freight, and FX, and those are evaluated together against your profit floor. This means a code that has multiplied past its intended audience does not need to be identified as leaked for its below-floor orders to be stopped. Floors can be configured per code, campaign, or affiliate tier, so a high-commission partner's code can carry a tighter floor than a low-commission one. No changes are required to your existing affiliate or influencer platforms. For your store, brand-monitoring tools tell you where a code went, while Agentis makes sure that wherever it went, it does not ship orders below cost.
Does Agentis account for affiliate commission cost, not just the discount?
Yes, where commission data is available at checkout, it can be factored into the margin calculation alongside the discount, COGS, freight, and FX. This matters because influencer and affiliate codes are usually priced assuming a specific audience size with a commission attached, and once a code spreads beyond that audience the merchant is often still paying the commission on top of the discount, compounding the margin hit. Evaluating the discount alone would understate the true cost of each order on a leaked code. When commission data is present at checkout, Agentis treats it as another cost line, so an order that clears the floor on discount alone can still be caught if the commission pushes it under. Floors can be set per code, campaign, or affiliate tier to reflect different commission structures. If your store's affiliate platform exposes commission at checkout, connect it so the floor reflects the full cost of the sale.
Do I need to shut down a leaked code once I notice it?
Not necessarily. Since Agentis is already preventing below-floor orders on that code, many merchants can leave a leaked code active and let the profit floor absorb the excess volume, rather than disrupting the legitimate affiliate's traffic. A blanket code freeze punishes the influencer or affiliate whose audience was legitimately converting, and it can damage a partnership that was working. Because Agentis evaluates each order on the discount applied, the affiliate commission if tracked, current COGS, freight, and FX, the orders that arrive through the leak are held to the same profit floor as the orders that arrive through the intended audience. Profitable orders from unexpected buyers still ship; below-floor orders do not. Floors configured per code or affiliate tier let you tighten a specific leaked code without touching the rest of the program. The decision to retire a code becomes a partnership question for your store rather than an emergency margin question.
