R01: Full refundR02: Partial refundR05: Code owned by another publisherDecline files
The decline file, ready to upload.
Confirm the suggestions you agree with and download a file your network accepts: the Awin batch validation CSV, or a generic CSV for every other network.
Nº 01The problem
Clicking through hundreds of transactions
Without an API plan, validation means declining row by row or building the batch file by hand. On Awin, the Validation API is only on Accelerate and Advanced; everyone else uses the CSV upload.
Nº 02How it works
How decline files works
- Step 1Confirm in bulkAccept all suggestions with one reason at once, or go line by line. Nothing is declined until you say so.
- Step 2Download the fileTransaction ID, decision, amended amount and a publisher-friendly reason on every row.
- Step 3Upload to the networkOn Awin: Commission → Validate → Batch Process Commission. Other networks: their bulk validation upload.

What you get
- Reasons publishers understand
- “Order fully refunded on 12 Jan (refund #8812)” instead of a bare decline.
- Your decision, every time
- AffCheck never declines anything on its own. You confirm, you upload.
- API push on Pro (coming)
- Planned: where your network plan includes an API, Pro will send the decisions directly after you confirm.
Questions
Which formats are supported?
The Awin batch validation CSV first, plus a generic CSV (transaction ID, decision, amount, reason) for the other networks’ bulk tools. More native formats follow customer requests.
Am I responsible for the declines?
Yes. AffCheck suggests and documents; you decide under your network’s terms. Every file lists the evidence behind each decision.
