Summary and recommendation
ShareASale, the legacy affiliate marketing network, offers no SCIM provisioning or SSO integration capabilities on any plan. The platform has been officially discontinued as of October 2025, with all operations migrated to the Awin platform. Even during its active years, ShareASale operated as a closed affiliate network without modern identity management features, requiring manual user account creation and management for both merchants and publishers. This creates significant operational overhead for enterprise customers managing multiple affiliate marketing relationships.
The platform's closure compounds these identity management challenges. Organizations still using ShareASale face not only the immediate problem of manual user lifecycle management, but also the urgent need to migrate their affiliate marketing operations to a supported platform like Awin. This migration requires rebuilding user access controls and permissions from scratch, creating additional security and compliance risks during the transition period.
The strategic alternative
ShareASale has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages ShareASale accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The ShareASale pricing problem
ShareASale gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What ShareASale actually offers for identity
Platform Status: Closed to New Customers
ShareASale officially closed in October 2025 and migrated to the Awin platform. New customers should sign up directly with Awin rather than ShareASale.
Legacy Identity Features (Historical Reference)
For existing legacy accounts, ShareASale offered minimal identity management:
| Feature | Support Level |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | ❌ Not available |
| SCIM provisioning | ❌ Not available |
| API user management | ❌ Limited affiliate API only |
| Role-based access | ✓ Basic merchant/affiliate roles |
| Multi-factor authentication | ❌ Not documented |
Why Legacy ShareASale Falls Short
ShareASale was designed as an affiliate marketing network with separate merchant and publisher portals, not as an enterprise SaaS platform:
Bottom line: ShareASale never offered enterprise identity management features and is no longer accepting new customers. Organizations should evaluate Awin or alternative affiliate platforms that support modern identity standards.
What IT admins are saying
ShareASale's closure and lack of modern identity features left IT teams scrambling:
- Manual user management across merchant and affiliate accounts with no automation
- No SSO integration available, requiring separate credentials for all users
- Platform shutdown in October 2025 forced emergency migration to Awin
- Legacy pricing model with high setup costs and percentage-based fees deterred modernization
ShareASale never evolved beyond basic user management. Every new merchant or affiliate user had to be set up manually, and there was no way to sync with our corporate directory.
The platform closure caught us off guard. We had to quickly migrate all our affiliate relationships to Awin and rebuild our user access controls from scratch.
For what they charged ($625 setup plus monthly fees), you'd expect modern identity features. Instead, we got a legacy system that felt stuck in 2010.
The recurring theme
ShareASale remained a legacy platform that never adopted modern identity standards, ultimately closing down and forcing users to migrate to more capable alternatives like Awin.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small affiliate team (<10 users) | Manual management acceptable - platform closing anyway |
| Existing ShareASale users | Migrate to Awin and implement Stitchflow there |
| New affiliate program setup | Skip ShareASale entirely - use Awin with Stitchflow |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Avoid ShareASale - choose active platform with automation |
| Multi-brand affiliate management | Use established platform (Awin, CJ) with Stitchflow |
The bottom line
ShareASale closed in October 2025 and migrated to Awin, making it a dead-end choice for new implementations. For organizations serious about affiliate marketing automation, skip the legacy platform and implement Stitchflow with Awin or another active affiliate network that supports your long-term growth strategy.
