New Awin and Awin Classic: what you need to know

As an advertiser you now have access to two versions of our platform - Awin Classic and the new Awin. This article explains the set-up, why there are two platforms, and how to navigate them.

What’s happening?

We’re building a brand new Awin - and we’re excited for you to be part of it. The new platform has been designed from the ground up to be faster, more intuitive, and focused on what advertisers really need.

To make the transition smooth, both platforms will run side by side. This means you’ll have access to Awin Classic and the new Awin at the same time, while we carefully and gradually bring features across.

Note

You don’t need to do anything differently to access both platforms. You only need to sign in once, and can easily switch between the two.

Which features are available where?

As we continue building the new Awin, features are being added on a rolling basis. The list below shows what’s currently available in the new Awin platform.

We’ll keep this page up to date as more features move across.

• Communicating with partners

• Creating promotional materials (creatives)

• Uploading product feeds

Why are we doing this?

We want to give you a better experience, and that takes time to do properly.

Rather than switching everything over at once, we’re rebuilding features thoughtfully - taking the opportunity to improve them based on feedback from advertisers like you. That means some things will look and work differently in the new Awin.

The end goal is a single, unified platform that’s more powerful, easier to use, and built around how you actually work.

What should I use day-to-day right now?

Our recommendation is straightforward: use the new Awin wherever you can, and head back to Awin Classic for anything that hasn’t moved across yet.

• New Awin: Use this for any features already available (see the list above).

• Awin Classic: Use this for features not yet in the new Awin.

Awin Classic will remain available throughout this transition period, and we’ll give you plenty of notice before anything changes.

How to switch between platforms

Switching between Awin Classic and the new Awin is quick and easy - there’s no need to log out or use a different web address.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Sign in to your Awin account as usual.

2. New Awin platform will open as a default view.

3. In the left navigation click Switch to Awin Classic to change platforms.

4. To go back, click the purple Try the new Awin banner at the top of the screen.

5. Your session carries over automatically - no need to re-enter your credentials.

Your data is exactly the same in both platforms, so you can switch back and forth at any time without losing anything.
