ShareASale operated for many years as an affiliate network connecting merchants with publishers. It became known for offering access to merchants across numerous categories, along with link-generation, reporting, payment, and account-management tools.
Merchant variety: The network offered programs across retail, software, services, and other niches, giving publishers multiple ways to match promotions with their audiences.
Reporting and linking tools: Publishers could create tracking links and review performance information such as clicks, transactions, and commissions.
Established payment workflow: ShareASale provided a centralized process for consolidating eligible commissions from participating merchants.
Deep-linking and creative resources: Participating programs could make product links, banners, data feeds, and other promotional materials available to approved publishers.
Merchant-by-merchant approval: Acceptance into the network did not guarantee approval for every individual advertiser program.
Interface complexity: New users could face a learning curve when navigating program applications, reporting, links, and merchant-specific rules.
Program variation: Commission rates, cookie periods, allowed traffic sources, approval standards, and payment conditions differed by advertiser.
Awin completed the ShareASale platform transition in 2025. Former ShareASale publishers and advertisers should use current Awin documentation and account support to confirm migrated programs, tracking links, payment details, tax information, reporting access, and any actions still required.
Old tutorials, screenshots, login instructions, and ShareASale-specific links may no longer reflect the current workflow. Website owners should also review existing affiliate links and replace or update any links that no longer track correctly after the migration.
ShareASale remains relevant as part of affiliate-marketing history, but it is no longer an active standalone platform. Publishers and advertisers evaluating current opportunities should review Awin's present features, program availability, terms, and support resources instead of relying on older ShareASale instructions.
