    There are basically 2 options.

    #1 Use an affiliate network. There are 100's including Share a Sale, CJ etc. The big advantage is the networks have large bases of affiliates so you don't have to recruit affiliates.

    #2 Use a 3rd party software.

      If you are on clickbank/CJ affiliate program they have portal system to check your earnings. If you are using third party then offcourse they should provide you with some form of tracking system.

      One of the main reasons I use a network is for tax forms. I do not have to track and send 1099's that is taken care of by the netowork
