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 [email protected] 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.
Hi Wondercraft LTD, thank you for the feedback and we're sorry to hear you didn't have a positive experience with ShareASale. While it is common for any affiliate network to charge associated platform fees to use their plugin, our apologies if it was not clear to you that there 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 fees, technology and partnership opportunities are best-in-class and would love to talk to you about this more. We can also help you better understand ShareASale's low cost, transparent pricing structure over a call. Here is a Calendly link to book a meeting with Andre White on our team, he is looking forward to hearing from you: https://calendly.com/andre-white/30min

I'm not one to ever write a negative review and can usually resolve issues easily but the customer service with shareasale is the most unresponsive and worst I have ever dealt with as a business owner. We've tried to get help with an urgent issue for over two weeks now (which should have a simple solution) and their team doesn't address and resolve the issue and won't hop on a 10 min call to solve it together. I have emailed, called and submitted tickets and nothing. I asked them to help escalate the issue but the two responses I have gotten from Maxine and Stephan have gotten us nowhere. Super disappointed in our experience so far and unfortunately since they won't help solve the problem we will likely be switching affiliate programs. If you're looking for an affiliate program with support, this is not the one to go with.

The program seems to be good, but the customer service is non-existent. I can't get a hold of anyone. They are incredibly responsive on the sales side, but once you sign up, they drop off the face of the earth. I am shocked to find that they don't have an implementation team to help you get up and running. You are left to try and figure things out on your own. They have some help articles, but non of them address my issues and questions. I have called, emailed, submitted tickets...and nothing. I even tried going back to my original sales rep, who blew me off and told me to submit a ticket. I hope I can come back and change this review later, but right now, it doesn't look promising. I'll give it through tomorrow and then I'll be asking for a refund and moving on to another program. For such a high up front implementation fee, I expect better. Update: So I finally got to talk to someone who was very polite and helpful, but it wasn't at ShareASale. I had to call their parent company Awin to actually speak to someone. Still don't have my issues fixed though and was told by them that there is a 48 hour turnaround time for email responses. That's far too long.

While ShareASale is a self-service platform, we pride ourselves on having ample resources like the mentioned Help Center and an in-house team dedicated to assisting valuable merchants like yourself, so our apologies if you’ve been frustrated with the level of support provided, as well as the up-to-48-hour response times. We will certainly take your feedback on board. We can see you've been corresponding with our team on several help tickets as you've gotten your program live and active on the network, and it seems like all have now been resolved. If you need further assistance or support, please feel free to contact us by emailing [email protected] or opening another ticket.

They have charged me over $1,000 and there is not a single sale. I asked for a refund of $ 150 that was on my balance, but support does not answer. Scammers. You need to be careful. After they answered me, I correct the review: there were 2 sales. At the same time, I paid $750 for connecting to the platform and several hundred dollars for sales and monthly maintenance. Now I'm trying to close my profile and get $133 back. Trust me it's hard... My request is 1091380
Thanks for contacting us. Actually there have been multiple sales in your program. We also responded to your request for a refund within a few hours, listing the information we needed to close your program; to date we have not heard back from you which is why your program remains open. We would be happy to resend the list of what’s needed to close your program; please contact us at [email protected] and we will resend it and assist you through the process.

I don't think such poor rating is unjustified. Just the other day after I paid, I tried to seek some official tutorials on how to set up the program, but I received a reply that it was a self-service platform and they could only give some suggestions. Didn't even read my email needs carefully and I don't think the cooperation will provide any good service after that. I suggest that merchants who haven't joined yet can consider working with other affiliate marketing platforms that offer better services, seriously.

The app does not load at all in any browser. I'm assuming they pushed code right before the holiday and are having trouble getting it fixed with everybody out of office but it's currently unusable.

App is pure trash. Amazing how such a large digital company can't figure out a simple API integration

Just contact us at [email protected] or click the “Help” button at the top of each page in our UI to submit a ticket if you run into any questions at all. We are always glad to help!

Installed the app, but cant use it and there is no way to troubleshoot this error. Tried reaching out to ShareASale support but no response either. I’m trying to use their Shopify app, but it needs to be updated to support the SameSite cookie security changes made to Chrome 80. Not sure if they ever updated their app for this.

Like other users, this app is not good at all. It doesn't even load, having cookie issues with Chrome and Safari... Edit/response (4th June): I actually submitted a ticket through your website AND responded to an email requesting support. I’ve recieved no response.

We were willing to pay the fees. We installed the tracker. We went through all the pop up blocking. Could not get the "self service" set up wizard to pick up a sale. Support kept sending us form responses, would not get on the phone to screen share. Gave up. Installed a different app that was working in 8 minutes, required no browser manipulation, picked up our theme template, and was live with our existing affiliates in a day. This is just superbly outdated tech.
We apologize that you had a poor experience with our service team. Upon further review by our integrations team management, we noticed that you have Recharge installed on your site. Recharge uses a customized thank you page rather than the standard Shopify thank you page on recurring purchases and requires a separate tracking install. We do have a copy and paste coding plan that you can use to install tracking on your Recharge thank you page. If you ever consider working with us again in the future, we would be happy to put you in touch with a team lead to help finalize your install and ensure a more positive working experience with us.

im just gonna give a 1 star because i wasted my time signing up and finding out they charge 600 setup fee. i havent even tested the account and they expect payment upfront. plus the app is messign up with my CSS

Technical issues are occuring with this app and data feed synch. Rather than attempt to resolve the problem, ShareASale tech support blamed silly issues such as having " characters in product descriptions for the bug and said I would have to rewrite all of them manually for their app to work. I keep asking for support and will follow up if they ever get back to me. Overall a bad app experience so far.

Avoid at all costs! Hidden charges left right and centre! Poor quality software is not worth your time or cash!

This is the first time I'm leaving a negative review on Shopify. This app makes you do ALL the steps including making a sale on your own store (which charges your card + shopify fees) - then at the final step asks you to pay a deposit of $750. What a waste of time and money. Do not recommend.
