Avangate Affiliate Network

Niche leader in software and digital goods affiliate marketing, operating as part of Verifone's 2Checkout platform

Avangate Affiliate Network is a performance-based affiliate marketing platform that specializes in software, SaaS, and digital goods monetization. Originally launched by Avangate, the network connects software publishers and digital product vendors with a global base of affiliates, enabling commission-based sales through a dedicated marketplace. The platform offers tools for tracking, reporting, and managing affiliate relationships specifically tailored to the software and digital goods vertical. Avangate was acquired by 2Checkout in 2017, and the combined entity was subsequently rebranded under the 2Checkout umbrella. 2Checkout itself was later acquired by Verifone in 2021, making the Avangate Affiliate Network part of Verifone's broader digital commerce and payment solutions portfolio. Despite these ownership changes, the affiliate network has continued to operate, serving thousands of software vendors and affiliates globally. Within the AdTech and affiliate marketing ecosystem, Avangate Affiliate Network holds a niche but significant position as one of the few affiliate networks purpose-built for software and digital products. Its deep integration with 2Checkout's payment infrastructure provides a seamless end-to-end solution for software vendors looking to grow sales through affiliate channels, differentiating it from more generalist affiliate networks like CJ Affiliate or ShareASale.
