| ShareASale | Awin | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Locking period** | Auto validation | Instead of sales locking on the 20th of each month, your transactions will be automatically approved after a specified period, unless you manually approve or decline them beforehand. |
| **Commission changes** | Commission changes | Partner commission can be reduced by max 20% per instance. A commission reduction can only be done once every 30 days, and partners must be notified at least 7 days in advance of the change. |
| **Late click exclusion** | Attribution Manager | If you’re currently using Conversion Lines to reward a partner in a journey where another partner might have had the last click before conversion, you can now use [Awin’s Attribution Manager](/advertisers/docs/attribution-manager). You can set up rules to prioritize the clicks that provide the most value for your business. |
| **Conversion Lines** | Commission Flexibility | Awin doesn’t yet offer a direct like-for-like feature comparison for all the capabilities within Conversion Lines, but we provide several [commission flexibility](/advertisers/docs/commission-tools) tools and options. |
| **Newsletter editor** | Communication Center | You can use the [Communication Center](/advertisers/docs/how-to-use-the-communication-center) to send mass communications or newsletters to your partner base, as well as set up triggered communications. |
| **Express sign-up page** | Express sign-up link | If you previously had an express sign-up page for your ShareASale program, you can now copy an express sign-up link for your Awin program directly from the Dashboard in the platform. |
