It's really easy to launch an affiliate program with SAS because there are no contracts, so a brand can test the waters. Most larger affiliates are on this platform as well.

Setup was fairly easy if you are familiar with some technical aspects and understand a little bit of legal terminology for the affiliate program contracts.

The upside to ShareASale (SAS, from this point forward) is that the network of affilaites and merchants is already very established- which is great. The benefits inherited from this vast network are great, yes- but I do feel there could be some polishing to the portal.
