Awin is a marketing technology platform providing an affiliate program and marketplace for businesses. Aspire has partnered with Awin to serve our customers with high-quality service for their affiliate influencer marketing.
This integration enables you to use Aspire for influencer marketing while leveraging Awin’s affiliate program capabilities for managing links and tracking. With the Aspire x Awin integration, data passes between both systems so you have complete visibility into your influencer and affiliate marketing programs and conversions.
How It Works
Add Aspire as a sub-affiliate to your Awin account and request for an Awin link to be generated by our team to use within Aspire’s sales tracking.
Generate unique links for your members.
Once an end-user clicks on a link shared by a member, Awin will track clicks and conversions.
Awin then sends all clicks and conversions through a “transaction_id” to Aspire.
Aspire links all data to the creators and projects they are associated with.
Every two weeks, Awin’s payment process runs. The Aspire publisher account will receive payment for transactions validated by you and attributed to Aspire.
Once Aspire receives the funds, we will credit the amount to your Aspire balance within 2-5 business days.
You can then go to Aspire’s Sales Tracking dashboard, click the Payments Overview button, and send payments.
Step-by-Step Implementation

Aspire will accept the Invitation and Terms shared with us.
Email your Aspire CSM or reach out to our Support Team to request for a destination link to be generated in Awin.
The Aspire team will send the Awin destination link to you.
Configure your link tracking offer in Aspire’s Sales Tracking dashboard.
Go to Reporting > Sales Tracking.
Click “Add Offer”, then select “Link Tracking Offer” from the drop-down menu.
Enter an Offer Name, Offer Description, Conversion Type, and Payout Option.

Once you complete the steps above, we highly recommend adding a test member to your project, generating a link, and placing a test purchase. The click and conversion should track in both Awin and Aspire.
