Follow these steps to integrate AffiliateBase with Teachable:
Add the Tracking Script
<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>
Add Stripe Payment Links Support (If Using)
<!-- 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>
Connect Your Stripe Account
Pass Referral ID to Checkout
<!-- Add to Code Snippets > Footer Code -->
<script>
// Store referral ID for checkout
if (window.affiliatebase_referral) {
// Store in localStorage for use at checkout
localStorage.setItem('affiliatebase_referral', window.affiliatebase_referral);
}
</script>
Test Your Integration
// Visit your site with a test affiliate link:
// https://yourschool.teachable.com?via=test123
