Outseta Affiliate Program: Complete Integration Guide | AffiliateBase

Outseta is an all-in-one platform for SaaS businesses that combines CRM, billing, email marketing, and membership management. If you're using Outseta to run your SaaS or membership business and want to grow 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 Outseta, from adding the tracking script to tracking subscription sign-ups through Stripe webhooks.

Whether you're running a SaaS product, membership site, or subscription service, an affiliate program can help you acquire new customers while rewarding your partners for successful referrals.

Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with Outseta:

1

Add the Tracking Script

Add the AffiliateBase tracking script to your website. Add this to your site's header where you embed Outseta widgets. 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 Stripe Payment Links Support (If Using)

If you use Stripe Payment Links or Buy Buttons alongside Outseta, add this script to automatically pass the referral ID.
html
<!-- Add to your site alongside the tracking script -->
<script>
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
      const referralId = window.affiliatebase_referral || '';
      if (!referralId) return;

      // Update Stripe Payment Links
      document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="https://buy.stripe.com/"]').forEach(link => {
        const url = new URL(link.href);
        if (!url.searchParams.has('client_reference_id')) {
          url.searchParams.set('client_reference_id', referralId);
          link.href = url.toString();
        }
      });

      // Update Stripe Pricing Tables
      document.querySelectorAll('stripe-pricing-table').forEach(table => {
        table.setAttribute('client-reference-id', referralId);
      });

      // Update Stripe Buy Buttons
      document.querySelectorAll('stripe-buy-button').forEach(button => {
        button.setAttribute('client-reference-id', referralId);
      });
    }, 1500);
  });
</script>
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 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"
