ShareASale: reading its links, and when commission locks.

Its links run through

  • shareasale-analytics.com
  • shareasale.com

A click that passes through one of these on its way to your site was sent by a ShareASale publisher.

  • sscidPer-click referenceOne click. Quote it to ShareASale; they map it to the publisher who sent it.

How to file against a brand bidder on ShareASale

  1. 01

    Find the account

    Quote the per-click reference; ShareASale maps it to the publisher.

  2. 02

    Decline before the lock

    Pending commission can be declined; after the lock it gets harder. The date is below.

  3. 03

    Send the evidence

    The ad, the click path and the ID, together. That is what a compliance team acts on.

When it locks

Legacy programs lock valid transactions on the 20th of the month after the sale. Programs upgraded to Awin use a 50-day auto-validation period instead.

After the lock, the transaction cannot be edited or voided.

Networks count from the transaction's date. A capture date is a close stand-in: the sale follows the click.
