    AffiliateBase captures the visit and generates a referral record.

  2. Checkout handoff

    referral ID

    The checkout must carry the generated identifier into Stripe.

  3. Paid event

    $99 paid

    A supported Stripe event confirms the attributed payment.

  4. Commission

    $19.80 due

    An eligible attributed sale creates the commission record.

  5. Payout prep

    Payout ready

    Review the commission and prepare the next step with your payout provider.

This guide is for site owners running a program for their own MemberPress memberships. WordPress can load AffiliateBase on the landing page, while MemberPress controls the membership checkout.

A Stripe gateway connection does not by itself pass AffiliateBase’s generated referral ID. Treat MemberPress checkout and renewals as unverified until a completed payment produces the expected referral, sale, and commission records.

If you can place a Stripe Payment Link on the tracked page or customize Checkout Session creation, use the Stripe guide. Otherwise choose an affiliate integration documented for your MemberPress stack.

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. Use the pinned jsDelivr tracking URL for the latest published AffiliateBase release.
html 
<script async src="https://app.affiliatebase.io/track.js" data-account-id="YOUR_ACCOUNT_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://app.affiliatebase.io/track.js" data-account-id='YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID'></script>
<?php
});
3

Connect Your Stripe Account

Pass the generated referral ID as client_reference_id to Stripe for accurate conversion tracking. Do not use the public ?via token. Connect the Stripe account used by checkout, then verify that MemberPress actually supplies the generated referral ID.
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:
// Open the exact setup-test link shown in AffiliateBase.

// Open browser console and check:
console.log(window.AffiliateBase?.referral); // Should show a generated referral ID
