MemberPress is one of the most popular WordPress membership plugins, powering thousands of membership sites, online courses, and subscription businesses. If you're using MemberPress and want to grow your membership base through affiliate marketing, AffiliateBase provides seamless integration.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about setting up an affiliate program with MemberPress, from adding the tracking script to tracking membership sign-ups through Stripe webhooks.

Whether you're selling online courses, premium content, or subscription memberships, an affiliate program can help you acquire new members while rewarding your partners for successful referrals.

Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with MemberPress:

1

Add the Tracking Script

Add the AffiliateBase tracking script to your WordPress site. You can add it via your theme's header or using a header scripts plugin. Using jsDelivr CDN ensures fast global delivery and automatic updates. No hosting required.
html 
<script>(function(w,r){w._abq=w._abq||[];w[r]=w[r]||function(){(w[r].q=w[r].q||[]).push(arguments)}})(window,'affiliatebase');</script>
<script async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/affiliatebase-tracking@1/src/index.js" data-org-id='YOUR_ORG_ID'></script>
2

Add via functions.php (Alternative)

Alternatively, add the script using WordPress hooks in your theme's functions.php file.
php 
// Add to your theme's functions.php
add_action('wp_head', function() {
?>
<script>(function(w,r){w._abq=w._abq||[];w[r]=w[r]||function(){(w[r].q=w[r].q||[]).push(arguments)}})(window,'affiliatebase');</script>
<script async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/affiliatebase-tracking@1/src/index.js" data-org-id='YOUR_ORG_ID'></script>
<?php
});
3

Connect Your Stripe Account

Pass the referral ID as client_reference_id to Stripe for accurate conversion tracking. In your AffiliateBase dashboard, go to **Settings > Integrations > Stripe** and connect your Stripe account. This enables automatic conversion tracking via Stripe webhooks.
4

Test Your Integration

Visit your MemberPress site with a test affiliate link and verify tracking is working.
javascript 
// Visit your site with a test affiliate link:
// https://yoursite.com?via=test123

// Open browser console and check:
console.log(window.affiliatebase_referral); // Should show "test123"
