This guide is for SaaS and membership merchants using Outseta. Outseta officially documents a Rewardful integration that connects the same Stripe account, installs a site script, and uses an Outseta integration setting.

That vendor-specific path does not establish an equivalent native AffiliateBase integration. Review Outseta’s official integration guide and do not substitute AffiliateBase credentials into another vendor’s field.

AffiliateBase remains an option for a separate Stripe checkout you control and can supply with the generated referral ID. Follow the Stripe setup and verify a real checkout outcome.

Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with Outseta:

Add the Tracking Script

Add the AffiliateBase tracking script to your website. Add this to your site's header where you embed Outseta widgets. 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>

Use Stripe Payment Links or Buttons (If Using)

If you use Stripe Payment Links or Buy Buttons alongside Outseta, add the tracking script on the same page so AffiliateBase can pass the generated referral ID.

html

<!-- Keep Stripe checkout elements on the same page as the AffiliateBase script. -->
<a href="https://buy.stripe.com/xxxxx">Buy now</a>

<stripe-pricing-table
  pricing-table-id="prctbl_xxx"
  publishable-key="pk_live_xxx"
></stripe-pricing-table>

<!-- For custom or redirected Stripe-hosted links, opt in explicitly. -->
<a data-affiliatebase href="https://link.payment/xxxxx">Buy now</a>

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 account used by the separate supported checkout. Do not place AffiliateBase credentials in Outseta’s vendor-specific Rewardful setting.

Test Your Integration

Visit your 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
