Create an Affiliate Program with React
Step-by-step guide to integrating affiliate tracking in your React application
React is the most popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. If you're looking to monetize your React 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 React, from initial setup to tracking conversions using React hooks and context.
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 React:
Install AffiliateBase SDK
npm install @affiliatebase/sdk
Create Affiliate Context
// context/AffiliateContext.tsx
import { createContext, useContext } from 'react';
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';
const AffiliateContext = createContext<AffiliateBase | null>(null);
export const AffiliateProvider = ({ children, apiKey }) => {
const affiliate = new AffiliateBase({ apiKey });
return (
<AffiliateContext.Provider value={affiliate}>
{children}
</AffiliateContext.Provider>
);
};
export const useAffiliate = () => {
const context = useContext(AffiliateContext);
if (!context) throw new Error('useAffiliate must be used within AffiliateProvider');
return context;
};
Create Tracking Hook
// hooks/useAffiliateTracking.ts
import { useAffiliate } from '../context/AffiliateContext';
export const useAffiliateTracking = () => {
const affiliate = useAffiliate();
const trackConversion = async (data: {
affiliateId?: string;
amount: number;
type: string;
}) => {
await affiliate.trackConversion(data);
};
return { trackConversion };
};
Track Conversions in Components
// components/CheckoutButton.tsx
import { useAffiliateTracking } from '../hooks/useAffiliateTracking';
export const CheckoutButton = () => {
const { trackConversion } = useAffiliateTracking();
const handleCheckout = async () => {
await trackConversion({
type: 'purchase',
amount: 99.99,
});
// Your checkout logic
};
return <button onClick={handleCheckout}>Checkout</button>;
};
