AffiliateBase automatically integrates with Memberstack’s DOM checkout on Webflow. Install the AffiliateBase tracking script on your site and keep your existing Memberstack checkout buttons.

Before Memberstack starts checkout, the AffiliateBase tracker adds the generated referral ID to metadataForCheckout.affiliatebase_referral_id. Checkout still continues without referral metadata if attribution is unavailable or takes too long.

Connect the same Stripe account used by Memberstack and complete the verification checklist. A referral ID in the browser proves only that tracking ran; the completed checkout confirms whether the payment was attributed. For custom SDK calls and other checkout paths, see the Stripe integration guide.

Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with Memberstack:

Add the Tracking Script

Add the AffiliateBase tracking script to your website. For Webflow, go to **Site Settings > Custom Code > Head Code**. For other platforms, add to your site's header. 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>

Keep Your Memberstack Checkout Buttons

For Memberstack on Webflow, use your existing checkout buttons. The AffiliateBase tracker automatically connects to Memberstack’s DOM checkout, so no second AffiliateBase snippet or custom checkout handler is required.

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. Use the same Stripe account that handles your Memberstack payments.

Test Your Integration

Open the setup-test link from AffiliateBase, then follow the tracking verification checklist through checkout. Confirm the referred visit and checkout attribution in AffiliateBase; a referral ID in the browser alone does not confirm a credited payment.

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
