What official sources establish

Awin confirms that ShareASale closed on 6 October 2025. Its migration documentation separates link updates, integrations and operations within Awin.

When to consider it

Consider it when you need merchant programmes or want to open a programme to different publisher types. Network access does not establish active partner supply in your niche. Specify countries, typical order value and the content that can support a purchase before shortlisting.

Documentary summary and selection method. We do not claim to have tested this service. The scenarios below are checks to perform in your own environment with the provider’s agreement. Confirm variable prices and terms directly.

Checks to perform

Programme availability

List relevant merchants and check admission, countries, approved channels, promotion rules and validation separately for each programme. Platform admission does not mean every advertiser has accepted the publisher.

ShareASale migration

Inventory links, tools, plugins and historical commissions. Follow the official post-upgrade checklist before replacing legacy destinations. A redirect that opens a shop does not prove that partner attribution remains intact.

Purchase and cancellation

Replay an authorised test transaction and then a cancellation using the agreed procedure. Reconcile order ID, eligible value and commission state. Confirm approval timing and the escalation contact for discrepancies.

Frequently asked questions

Is ShareASale still an independent alternative?

Awin states that the ShareASale platform closed. Compare current Awin terms and migrate legacy assets rather than counting the two names as independent networks.

How should I compare an Awin proposal?

Request a proposal covering fees, commitments, validation operations, recruitment and support in your markets. The conditions of the relevant programme matter more than a global partner count.
