In my post on the affiliate program setup expenses to be aware of I have mentioned that not all affiliate programs are based on affiliate networks. Many are being run in house: on self- or remotely hosted (and sometimes even internally-developed) software. Amazon and eBay, for example, run their affiliate programs in house and on their own software. While larger brands can afford to build their own affiliate program platforms, most of us would be looking for a software package to purchase and get going. It is with these merchants in mind that I have decided to put together a list of software options to consider. The below lists is 100% endorsement-free, and is arranged solely in an alphabetical order:
- AffiliatePro
- AffliateShop
- AssocTrac
- AffiliateWiz
- AffiliateTracking.com
- ClickInc
- DirectTrack
- eLitius
- HasOffers
- HitPath
- JROX Affiliate Manager
- iDevDirect
- Interneka
- Leadhound Network
- LinkTrust
- MPA3
- MyAP
- MyReferer
- NATS
- OSIAffiliate
- PartnersManager
- Post Affiliate Pro
- PHPAffiliate (for PayPal)
- ShareResults software
- TWSC Affiliate Lite
- QualityClick
- Ultimate Affiliate
Shopping platforms and shopping carts with affiliate program support options:
- 1AutomationWiz
- 1ShoppingCart
- 3d Cart
- E-junkie
- eAffiliatePro
- eCartsoft
- MemberSpeed
- osCommerce
- QuickPayPro
- RelyAffiliate
- Synergyx (for digital products)
- Volusion
- WebmasterCart
- X-Cart
If I have missed an option that should be included above, please post about it below, and I will add it to the appropriate list.

Hi Geno, congratulations for your site!
I am looking for an affiliate software to use. My site is build on Joomla.
I don’t need many functions, just keep track of the activity from the links or banners I give to the affiliates. I will pay a comission FOR SALE.
thanks!
Jorge, I believe iDevDirect.com has a plugin for Joomla. Plus, there are some other extensions to consider right at Joomla.com.
