"Most user friendly Affiliate Network have ever used"

4/5

What do you like best about Awin?

The platform itself I super clear and user friendly, very easy to find the insights we are looking for and the suggested partners buy KPI is great! Setting up CPAs, inviting new publishers and drilling down into key metrics is all very straightforward and any issues are flagged on the dashboard making them easy to rectify. The clean and clear aesthetic is the best of any network I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

It has some limitations to reporting compared to other networks, top line key info is covered but things like geo-reporting are limited. In order to find insights on code performance you have to download the data to assess and there is no internal reporting on different CPA rates so again this has to be assessed off-network. They have a huge number of publishers but the search function for finding publishers is a bit hit and miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Onboarding and Intuitive Affiliate Tracking with Awin"

5/5

What do you like best about Awin?

Awin offers a very transparent and reliable affiliate tracking platform. The interface is intuitive and their reporting tools make it easy to monitor performance. We have launched one of retail merchant with them for Mexico region. The onboarding process was smooth and their support team is quick to respond. I also appreciate how easily Awin integrates with multiple affiliate tools which helps us manage our campaign easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

While Awin is a strong platform, the approval and compliance process can sometimes take longer than expected especially when launching new merchants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin helps us connect with the right affiliates in the Mexico region, where it was initially challenging to find quality traffic sources. We launched one of our retail merchants specializing in novelty gift items through Awin Accelerate account which allowed us to launch with low risk and manageable costs of just 3.5% of every sale tracked. Affiliates on Awin delivering exceptional results for our campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Affiliate Platform with Great Features and Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Awin?

We upgraded to Awin in August 2024, from ShareASale, and I've been using Awin daily ever since. At first, it was a bit difficult to get used to the new interface, but we benefited from excellent support, and the instructions provided within the interface and in the support documentation were fairly easy to follow. We had no issue implementing the new program terms and commissions, uploading creatives, and migrating affiliates.

Our store is based on Shopify, and we use both the Awin app and the master tag for tracking. I love how the latter facilitates technical integrations with some affiliates, removing the need for additional development work.

Some of our favorite features are:

*** Soft Cookie policy applied automatically to most coupon and cashback browser extensions

*** Publisher Performance Stats, allowing us to assess whether an affiliate is worth working with / suitable for our program or not

*** Recruitment tool - AI suggestions and various filters allowing us to identify and contact publishers who target the same audience

*** Communications center - Newsletters are very easy to create and send, allowing you to easily embed images, links, and coupon information

I think Awin is a powerful option for U.S, CA, and EU brands looking to start an affiliate program for their online stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

I wish Awin provided more transparency on traffic sources. You can see referring URLs for sales but not for clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Awin as the affiliate network of choice for our affiliate program. It allows us to track, analyze, report, and pay for affiliate performance (impressions, clicks, sales, conversion, AOV, etc.), and has also facilitated several collaborations - we used their Publisher Discovery tool to identify and recruit new partners. We've also had cases when large and valuable publishers found our brand profile on Awin and reached out to collaborate with us. The affiliate program has been driving between 25% and 50% of the sales for our online store, and Awin makes it easy to keep in touch and optimize the collaboration with our over 100 active long-term partners, covering important aspects like onboarding, activation, optimization, contracts, payments, and creative updates.

"User-Friendly Reports and Collaboration, But Needs Better Commission Tier Options"

5/5

What do you like best about Awin?

I used to use share-a-sale. The SAS platform was scary! Not user friendly at all. In AWIN, the reports are well organized and easy to read with visual graphs. Connecting with affiliates for additional exposure and collaboration is also made simple through the publishers tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

One thing that I wish could be improved on AWIN is the ability to set up commission rules/groups by number of sales made. I would like to offer commission tiers to affiliates who hit $x amount of sales but can only achieve this by offering bonuses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWIN is helping our company gain exposure and expand our audience. Most importantly it helps us gain exposure through content affiliates and supports our efforts to grow our brand presence through SEO. Rather than using a cold outreach method, AWIN helps streamline the process of finding publishers and content opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Carina Aiordachioae of Awin

Thank you for your feedback and for the great suggestion regarding commission tiers. Your input is very valuable, and we’ll be sure to share it with our product team as we continue to improve the platform.

We’re glad to hear that you find Awin’s reports clear and easy to read, and that the publishers tab helps you connect with affiliates efficiently.

We truly appreciate your partnership!

"One of the good tools to start with Affiliate Marketing for Your Product"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Awin?

List of publishers on their platform is extensive which includes sub-networks as well, so you have higher visibility without needing to integrate codes from multiple platforms.

Apart from that, once we have it set up e.g. uploaded promotional assets, setting up automated emails to affiliates including coupons, guidelines etc. .... then you just bring in new publishers either using their network of publishers or through inviting them through your marketing campaigns.

Overall, if you're looking to start managing Affiliate Marketing for your brand, Awin would be one of the strong options you can look at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

Their average support reply time is way high, which kind of drags things out when setting things up initially (setting up client & browser side integrations) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin makes it easy to manage affiliate program i.e. once we have the codes set-up properly, the exact tracking of affiliate traffic happens. So, you can start marketing your affiliate program, and start with leveraging other people's audience.

Plus they have a good network of existing publishers that you can invite to your affiliate program on Awin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Awin is how straightforward the platform is to use. The interface makes it easy to keep track of performance without getti nothing nothing nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

Unfortunately, there are many fake or non-legit accounts applying to work with us. Many of these publisher accounts belong to people who create multiple profiles and spam to alot alpt alot bad site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin helps us connect with the right publishers in a structured and efficient way, which saves us a lot of time compared to reaching out individually. The platform also takes care of tracking, reporting, and payments, so we can focus on strategy rather than administrative tasks. Having all of this in one place makes managing our affiliate program much smoother and ensures we can scale it without adding unnecessary hardships. Especially matching our current strategy, which mainly focuses on price comparison publishers. The product feed management tool makes it easy to keep our data up to date and ensures that our offers are displayed accurately across different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, getting better!"

4/5

What do you like best about Awin?

I like that there is a lot of transparency with Awin. They make it easy for both the brand and the affiliates to make an educated decision on whether or not the partnership is a good fit.

It was so easy to implement and integrate into our systems. Customer support is usually helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

They system does feel a little clunky. It's not always the most intuitive. There are some things nestled in the menu that you have to hunt for.

There are also features that they do not have that would be so helpful, like being able to pay commissions on a card instead of through ACH. Sometimes I need to be able to pay quickly and having to submit an ACH payment slows down that process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Carina Aiordachioae of Awin

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear you value the transparency Awin provides and that the platform has helped streamline your tracking and attribution.

"Reliable affiliate network with strong partner programs"

4/5

What do you like best about Awin?

Awin offers a wide range of affiliate programs across many industries, which makes it easy to find relevant partnerships. The reporting tools are very clear and give a transparent overview of performance, conversions, and commissions. I also appreciate that payments are processed on time and the support team responds quickly whenever I have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

Sometimes it takes a while until new programs are approved, which can slow down the process if you want to start promoting quickly. The dashboard could also be a little more modern and easier to navigate, especially if you are working with many different advertisers at the same time. However, these are only small points compared to the overall value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin helps me easily connect with a wide range of advertisers without having to reach out to each one individually. This saves a lot of time and simplifies the entire affiliate process. The reliable tracking and transparent reporting make it much easier to monitor results and optimize campaigns. Payments are handled securely and on time, which builds trust and allows me to focus on growing performance instead of chasing invoices. Overall, it makes affiliate marketing much more efficient and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Marcel,

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful review!

We appreciate your feedback on program approvals and dashboard usability. While approval times are determined by each individual advertiser, we understand how this can affect your momentum. You can always contact the advertisers directly to check on the status of your pending requests to join their programs. If you ever need assistance with this, our Support Team is here to help.

As for the dashboard experience, we’re continuously gathering user input to guide future improvements, and your comments are incredibly helpful.

Thanks again for being a valued partner. We're excited to support your continued growth in affiliate marketing.

"Game-Changer for Our Paid Media Strategy: Awin Delivers True Partnership and Unprecedented Growth"

5/5

What do you like best about Awin?

As a Paid Media Manager, integrating Awin has been a game-changer for our strategy. This channel has delivered consistent, exponential growth since day one and has quickly become one of our most successful levers for new customer acquisition.

The platform is powerful and intuitive, providing the reliable data we need to manage and scale our affiliate program effectively. However, their team is the true differentiator. Our contacts at Awin are genuine growth partners, not just account managers. Their proactive support and strategic insights have been instrumental in our success, constantly connecting us with high-value publisher opportunities.

For any performance marketing professional looking to drive significant results, I can't recommend Awin highly enough. It's a top-tier platform backed by a world-class team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

While the platform is incredibly powerful, navigating the sheer volume of data can sometimes be a little overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

From my perspective as a Paid Media Manager, Awin’s real value is how it transforms affiliate marketing from a complex, resource-intensive task into a streamlined and powerful growth channel.

Operationally, it solves the immense challenge of discovering and recruiting quality partners at scale. Instead of spending countless hours searching for them, we get immediate access to a vast, vetted network. Beyond that, Awin handles all the complex payment administration, which is a massive benefit. It frees my team from chasing invoices and lets us focus purely on strategy and optimizing our campaigns.

Strategically, their reliable tracking gives us the data confidence we need to invest our budget wisely and maximize our ROAS. Most importantly, it has allowed us to build a highly profitable acquisition channel that diversifies our media mix, reducing our dependency on the ever-rising costs of major platforms like Google and Meta.

Ultimately, Awin provides a predictable, efficient, and scalable way to drive new revenue and de-risk our overall marketing strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
