I wanted to share a quick but important update for anyone using Article Designer or researching affiliate programs inside Wealthy Affiliate.

If you see ShareASale recommended as an affiliate vendor, here’s what you need to know:

ShareASale has transitioned to AWIN.

According to the official message on the ShareASale site:

“Looking for ShareASale? You're in the right place. ShareASale closed in October 2025 as we upgraded the platform to AWIN. Don’t worry, AWIN is your open door to a variety of solutions designed to help you grow through performance-based partnerships.”

So if you click on ShareASale links or try to sign up, you’ll now be directed to AWIN, which has absorbed the platform and its merchants.

Why this matters for WA members

• Article Designer may still reference ShareASale by name
• New affiliates might think ShareASale is a separate, active platform
• Existing ShareASale users may wonder where their programs went

The short answer:
AWIN is now the place to go.

This isn’t a shutdown in the negative sense — it’s a platform upgrade and consolidation. But if you’re new, it can definitely cause confusion if you’re not aware of the change.

Question for the community 👇

Have you noticed Article Designer still recommending ShareASale?
And have you already made the move to AWIN, or is this news to you?

Sharing this so no one wastes time searching for something that’s already evolved.
