Adding accounts in the Brand Manager is easy. Some networks have nuances that you should be aware of before connecting the accounts. The Brand Manager is the foundation of all your data in Affluent so making sure accounts are connected correctly in the first place is important.

ShareASale : To connect a ShareASale account the program must have 2000 monthly API tokens and the IP settings must be updated to “match only for version 1.1 and lower”. Contact the SAS Support Team before adding the account to Affluent. For more information: How to Connect ShareASale

AWIN click data is only available via the AWIN API from 2017 forward. Sales data is available prior to 2017, however click data is not. Since the AWIN click data is not available within the AWIN API, you will not see click data prior to 2017 within Affluent.
Everflow
Everflow uses multiple different databases to store data. When comparing summary reports from Everflow, such as the Offer, Partner or Advertiser Reports to Affluent, you may sometimes see clicks differing by a few numbers. This is because Everflow pulls the summary data from a separate internal database that slightly differs from the database that stores clicks - where Affluent is retrieving the click data.
