How to Create an Affiliate Program with Nuxt

Nuxt is a powerful Vue.js framework that makes it easy to build server-rendered and static web applications. If you're looking to monetize your Nuxt app through an affiliate program, you've come to the right place.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about setting up an affiliate program with Nuxt, from initial setup to tracking conversions using Nuxt's server routes and composables.

Whether you're building a SaaS product, membership platform, or subscription service with Stripe, an affiliate program can help you grow your user base and increase revenue.

Follow these steps to get your affiliate program up and running in Nuxt:

1

Install AffiliateBase SDK

Add the AffiliateBase package to your Nuxt project using npm or yarn.

bash

npm install @affiliatebase/sdk

2

Create Server API Route

Create a server route in your Nuxt app to handle affiliate tracking. Create a file at server/api/affiliate/track.post.ts.

typescript

// server/api/affiliate/track.post.ts
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const body = await readBody(event);
  const { affiliateId, conversionData } = body;
  
  const affiliate = new AffiliateBase({
    apiKey: process.env.AFFILIATEBASE_API_KEY,
  });
  
  await affiliate.trackConversion({
    affiliateId,
    ...conversionData,
  });
  
  return { success: true };
});

3

Create Composable for Tracking

Create a Nuxt composable to easily track conversions throughout your app.

typescript

// composables/useAffiliateTracking.ts
export const useAffiliateTracking = () => {
  const trackConversion = async (data: {
    affiliateId?: string;
    amount?: number;
    type: string;
  }) => {
    await $fetch('/api/affiliate/track', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: data,
    });
  };
  
  return { trackConversion };
};

4

Track Conversions in Your Components

Use the composable in your Nuxt components to track conversions when users complete actions.

vue

// pages/checkout.vue
<script setup>
const { trackConversion } = useAffiliateTracking();

const handlePurchase = async () => {
  await trackConversion({
    type: 'purchase',
    amount: 99.99,
  });
  // Your purchase logic
};
</script>
