Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with Paid Memberships Pro:

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. 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 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://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/affiliatebase-tracking@1/src/index.js" data-org-id='YOUR_ORG_ID'></script>
<?php
});
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"
