there will be no effect on SEO... if he doesnt want to lose any juice to linking to them use rel="nofollow"... Other then that you will have to use this 3rd party software unless you develop one inhouse, or pay for one.

you can even make sure that the whole page is ignored completely with outgoing links and to not index the affiliate page.

Its up to you, there would be no significant effect from this. I would just leave as is.

client is using shareasale.com .. its an third party tool. since the client is an merchant what other techniques he can follow

I'd create 1-2 pages, highly optimized for words like

"product name + affiliate program"
"company name + affiliate"
"industry name + affiliate program"
"become *product* affiliate"

and come up with attractive copy with prices/projected earnings and testimonials of current affiliates.

it would help a lot to bring new affiliates onboard, looking for his products. A lot of affiliates look for new programs that way, i.e. if they have some niche sites build or want to test new program in the industry they're familiar with already, and your client's website will cope up on top; it shouldn't be that hard to optimize for such terms.
