I was an affiliate for 15 years and without notice, without reason and without any recourse they banned my account out of the blue. I did nothing wrong so I'm completely dumbfounded as to why they would do this. They are under new ownership (Awin) and I've heard nothing good about them. Do not use this affiliate network, there are dozens more that are more honest, professional and reliable.
This company will charge you $650.00 upfront fee and they do not discuss any other fees but you keep getting charges to your account for no reason at all. It is impossible to get anyone over the phone and there is no live tech support. Big Rip Off. Stay away!
Waste of time. I've had one link that has been clicked nearly 200 times. It's an affordable shake product. And they're telling me - NOT ONE sale result. I've had many others clicked on. On my social media account, I have one post with over 200,000 views, 900 website clicks and 360 saves - but from that - not one sale/pay out.
The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it's free to use (no membership) and the interface is easy to learn. But you don't make ANY MONEY.
As a brand, we were with them for over a year and didn't see a single sale or any quality traffic driven by the affiliates on the platform, the vast majority of which seemed to be low quality coupon/discount type sites. They charge a significant upfront fee, and then monthly account fees even if they are not bringing any revenues to you. Wish we had never joined. Would not recommend.
After finally getting approved to be on it, I got two sales. Then, before they would allow me to pull my money out, they declined my account. They do not care about the small guy trying to make a few bucks. They are thieves. Doubt that they will read this, but stay away from this company unless you are a big company.
Despite having my own websites and a registered company they told me I was not qualified. I don't run any adult websites so I don't understand why I did not pass a quality review and know where they tell you the reason behind their decision or perhaps the company is registered to a black individual I don't know. But without transparency you would have to question a company's decision but they're not the only affiliate so move on to a better company one that doesn't play games.
This is just a typical scam where they make you think and see that you are making money and when you try to cash out thats when they will hold or freeze your money dont bother guys i almost got sucked into this before looking farther into it from everything ive gathered its a scam
Run as fast as you can from this company and anyone who recommends it. All they do is promise what they cant deliver and then refuse to let you cancel or refund the funds they continue to charge you with. CROOKS. Also if you happen to catch any of them on the phone all you will here is "i dont know"
What?

I have been trying to get a hold of someone from there company for weeks but it seems they are dodging me. I just want some assistance with my account but I haven't spoke with anyone yet after making several tickets. I am probably going to do a chargeback unless they give me a full refund.
This site has nothing to offer besides endless coupon websites. People were already going to purchase your product without this website. Save your money and use a free shopify plugin and find your own affiliates this platform was a huge waste.
I had sales under the merchant Stylevana but did not get any commission. Opened tickets on all of them and was told they would get in touch with stylevana but heard no more. Kept requesting information and got nothing. They then closed all tickets without being resolved. Not happy at all.
I signed up a few years ago which I was premature in having things in order. They did a system upgrade around 11 months later which my account was gone. They would not acknowledge I had already paid and signed up the account and gave me the runaround. They would not provide a new account or refund me for my old account. Service and Support were dismal in all cases and I got scammed out of money.
1) It is impossible to find any reputable advertisers I registered as an affiliate. There is a search engine, but no categories.
2) Too many Marketing corps registered as Merchants.
3) Merchants are looking for free promotion on a website which offers traffic and advertising of their pages; hence, free-riding at affiliates expense.
4) Nasty technical support.
5) Reasons to decline an application do not have to be accurate as per Jesse
"There is nothing accusatory about the email itself, merely stating possible reasons why they chose not to work with you."
Made 6 sales in a week for a company that was supposed to do a $200 commission per sale. I was excited when my account racked up to $1200 of income the first few days! But the next business day after the weekend all those payouts mysteriously read, "VOIDED". The company kept the sales and took all the commissions away from me! Now either ShareASale nor the merchant won't answer my emails or phone calls!
I have had nearly $40,000 in sales that generated 0 income. People call me about problems with their orders (i am an affiliate so I don't fulfill), yet shareasale doesn't acknowledge any order- they don't repsond to emails and are basically sam artists - avoid them like a a bad STD...
I've had a great partnership with the affiliate network, ShareASale, for 6+ years. They have hundreds of high-quality advertisers to promote, solid and fair payouts, as well as clear and concise reporting. I typically don't ever run into any problems, but if something does arise, their team is fast to address any type of concern and resolve whatever the issue may be. Looking forward to many more years partnering with this company!
15 bad reviews and a small few good? That should probably be a warning to you all in itself... At first, I was like nah, it can't be that bad. But yep! I think it is. I drove quite a bit of traffic to the site, shareasale did even recognize the leads that they claim to pay a dollar for... and the merchants are just... man, look... instead of advertising on this platform and network, come up with a product and advertise your own stuff...
I made over $10,000 with ShareAsale but they closed my account and are not replying to emails. Its like they have no one on support or they are intentionally ignoring me emails. Worst affiliate network out of all.
Literally the worst user interface I have ever come across. Horrible customer service and the partners they have a really aren't that great. It's absolute BS.
ShareASale has a rating of 1.8 stars from 84 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with ShareASale most frequently mention and customer service. ShareASale ranks 176th among Affiliate Programs sites.
Alex, I don't believe this is an accurate representation of the network in general. Are you referring to an experience you had with BloomThat, who appears to have declined your application?
There are over 5,000 retailers, and admittedly some will run better programs than others but they do not get free promotion it is based on the performance of your traffic and thus conversion of leads and sales. If you want to discuss your account or anything specific to your account or Merchants that you have attempted to partner with, let me know anytime at brian@shareasale.com
