ShareASale

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.

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.

A good one, easy to apply, low platform fee but sometimes order can't be tracked according to our partner. But ok

The app does not transfer a datafeed from Shopify to Shareasale. That should be one of the main reasons for the app. Why does it not exist?

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.
