If you already use Shareasale and need to change the way tracking works when you "upgraded" your Shopify cart - this app is what you need. I have no experience with the datafeed portion that others are complaining about, but the tracking works.

Just awful. All app screens are blank and the pixel code won't save because there's errors. Impossible to configure.

Similar to other user experiences - I had to place 3 test orders which resulted in me getting charged with Shopify fees, only to find out after two hours of the application that they expect almost 1K in setup fees. If they had informed me up front I would never have bothered.

Hi Atomic Flare, thank you for the feedback and we're sorry to hear you didn't have a positive experience with ShareASale. Our apologies if it was not clear that there are fees required to use the ShareASale-Shopify app; however it is worth noting this is listed across this page along with a link to complete pricing on ShareASale.com (https://www.shareasale.com/info/pricing-merchants/). We are confident our app is best-in-class and would love to talk to you about this more. Please contact our team at ShareASale@ShareASale.com to discuss.

We've been very hesitant in joining ShareASale due to the very poor ratings of their Shopify application. We finally set up the account and spent a number of days emailing back and forth with the company ( of which all their responses were slow), and very annoyingly when we finished installing and applying the code to our website, we were met with a page asking us to pay a setup fee. The fees consisted of $625 joining fee (non-refundable), THEN an additional $125 minimum deposit AND (if that wasn't enough), a $35 per month account fee. These costs were never displayed to us until after creating an account and applying code. This has wasted many hours of our time and we will not be using ShareASale due to such high costs involved. We will take our business elsewhere.
