Create an Affiliate Program with Vue
Step-by-step guide to integrating affiliate tracking in your Vue application
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. If you're looking to monetize your Vue 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 Vue, from initial setup to tracking conversions using Vue 3 composables and plugins.
Whether you're building a single-page application, progressive web app, or using Vue with Nuxt, 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 Vue:
Install AffiliateBase SDK
npm install @affiliatebase/sdk
Create Vue Plugin
// plugins/affiliatebase.ts
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';
import type { App } from 'vue';
export default {
install(app: App, options: { apiKey: string }) {
const affiliate = new AffiliateBase({ apiKey: options.apiKey });
app.config.globalProperties.$affiliate = affiliate;
app.provide('affiliate', affiliate);
},
};
Create Composable
// composables/useAffiliateTracking.ts
import { inject } from 'vue';
import { AffiliateBase } from '@affiliatebase/sdk';
export const useAffiliateTracking = () => {
const affiliate = inject<AffiliateBase>('affiliate');
if (!affiliate) {
throw new Error('AffiliateBase plugin not installed');
}
const trackConversion = async (data: {
affiliateId?: string;
amount: number;
type: string;
}) => {
await affiliate.trackConversion(data);
};
return { trackConversion };
};
Track Conversions in Components
// components/CheckoutButton.vue
<script setup>
import { useAffiliateTracking } from '@/composables/useAffiliateTracking';
const { trackConversion } = useAffiliateTracking();
const handleCheckout = async () => {
await trackConversion({
type: 'purchase',
amount: 99.99,
});
// Your checkout logic
};
</script>
<template>
<button @click="handleCheckout">Checkout</button>
</template>
