How to Create an Affiliate Program with Remix

Remix is a full-stack web framework that lets you focus on the user interface and work back through web standards to deliver a fast, slick, and resilient user experience. If you're looking to monetize your Remix 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 Remix, from initial setup to tracking conversions using Remix loaders, actions, and forms.

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 Remix:

1

Install AffiliateBase SDK

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

bash

npm install @affiliatebase/sdk

2

Create Resource Route for Tracking

Create a Remix resource route to handle affiliate tracking server-side.

typescript

// app/routes/api.affiliate.track.ts
import type { ActionFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import { json } from '@remix-run/node';
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';

export const action = async ({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) => {
  const body = await request.json();
  const affiliate = new AffiliateBase({
    apiKey: process.env.AFFILIATEBASE_API_KEY,
  });
  
  await affiliate.trackConversion(body);
  
  return json({ success: true });
};

Track Conversions in Actions

Add conversion tracking to your Remix form actions.

typescript

// app/routes/checkout.tsx
import type { ActionFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import { redirect } from '@remix-run/node';
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';

export const action = async ({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) => {
  const formData = await request.formData();
  const affiliateId = formData.get('affiliateId');
  
  // Your checkout logic here
  const orderId = await processCheckout(formData);
  
  // Track conversion
  const affiliate = new AffiliateBase({
    apiKey: process.env.AFFILIATEBASE_API_KEY,
  });
  
  await affiliate.trackConversion({
    affiliateId,
    orderId,
    amount: parseFloat(formData.get('amount') as string),
    type: 'purchase',
  });
  
  return redirect('/thank-you');
};
