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:

1

Install AffiliateBase SDK

Add the AffiliateBase package to your Vue project using npm or yarn.
bash
npm install @affiliatebase/sdk
2

Create Vue Plugin

Create a Vue plugin to make AffiliateBase available throughout your app.
typescript
// 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

Create a Vue composable for easy conversion tracking.
typescript
// 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

Use the composable in your Vue components to track conversions.
vue
// 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>
