Attribution Risk Reversals Report

 | Take the PXA course

If a partner engages in fraudulent activity, you can reverse payments associated with actions flagged for attribution risk. Use the Attribution Risk Reversals report to get the Order Id (OID) for flagged actions. Then follow your standard reversal workflows, indicating the reason for the reversal as Partner activity dispute.
