In an affiliate program, affiliate networks typically handle all tracking, reporting and payment to affiliates. In addition to providing tracking technology, some affiliate networks also provide full-service management or self-service management of a program. Affiliate networks also give brands access to a network of affiliates who apply to join their network, which also gives these affiliates access to hundreds, even thousands, of affiliate programs. In an affiliate program, SaaS platforms also provide companies with performance tracking, reporting and payment, however, they do not manage affiliate programs or provide companies with access to a network of affiliates. Their focus is just on the technological aspects of an affiliate program.
