What is the main difference between standard affiliate program software and affiliate network software ?
Difference is in merchants structure, affiliates don’t need to see difference. In-house Affiliate Program software – suitable for one affiliate program (can contain multiple campaigns), one main merchant (multiple merchant feature allows to manage same affiliate program for more admins, but it is still just one affiliate program) Affiliate Network software – multiple/separated merchant accounts, each merchant can setup own affiliate program, own campaigns, etc. All merchants try to attract same affiliates with their campaigns. Network owner can manage merchants and affiliates.
