Networks

Awin

Global CPS network — strong in retail, travel, and finance. Daily API pull (not real-time postback).

What Awin offers

  • Established retail brands with steady programs
  • Strong tech: pixel tracking + reliable API
  • Global coverage — UK, DE, US, FR, PL are especially strong

Subid parameter

Awin uses clickref. Dune injects your click UUID automatically.

How Awin conversions arrive

Unlike Admitad or PartnerStack, Awin doesn’t push real-time postbacks. Dune Sale runs a daily cron at 06:00 UTC that pulls the previous day’s conversions via Awin’s API.

You’ll see Awin conversions appear once per day. That’s a network characteristic, not a Dune limitation.

Status lifecycle

  • Pending — customer’s order is placed
  • Approved — merchant validated (typically 30-60 days after order)
  • Rejected — merchant declined (return, fraud, etc.)

Approval and payment timing

  • Approval window: 30-90 days depending on merchant
  • Awin pays Dune monthly on the 15th for the previous month’s confirmed conversions
  • Highest reversal rate of any network we integrate with — set expectations accordingly

What to watch for

  • Voucher and cashback sites saturate many Awin verticals — content sites need to differentiate
  • Some big merchants (Amazon UK, John Lewis) have restrictive terms
  • Confirm cookie duration on the program — Awin default is 30 days but merchants can override
