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.

So far so good. I like that the app automatically voids commissions for any fraudulent or canceled orders. Also, generates a data feed automatically for our affiliates from our Shopify store. Would be even better if ShareASale had a Klaviyo integration.

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

Thanks for letting us know that you were having a problem. I didn’t see any tickets with questions about an API in your account, so I’ve sent you a link to our training on this topic. Just contact us at shareasale@shareasale.com 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!

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 This is just superbly outdated tech.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.

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.

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.

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

Doesn't work at all. We have a ShareaSale account, but got an error upon trying to install the app to our store. Now the app seems to be installed, but the dashboard won't load. Just spins and spins. Reached out to ShareaSale support with no response.

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.
