Why Publishers Use ShareASale

Publishers (such as bloggers, YouTubers, social media influencers, etc) sign-up as an affiliate to ShareASale to earn commissions from adding unique links to their content. This allows affiliates to refer visitors to merchants’ websites and achieve commission for completed sales or other desired actions.

There’s no limit on earnings for affiliates from the UK. Payouts are made monthly in USD to affiliates with a balance over $50 and are converted to GBP during the international bank transfer to the British bank account. British affiliates can also receive a cheque in USD currency via International FedEx.
