- # @affiliateo/web
2
-
3
- Affiliateo web SDK. track affiliate visits and pass attribution metadata to your Stripe checkout.
4
-
5
- ## Install
6
-
7
- ```bash
8
- npm install @affiliateo/web
9
- ```
10
-
11
- ## Setup
12
-
13
- 1. Connect your Stripe account on the Affiliateo dashboard
14
- 2. Wrap your app in `<AffiliateoProvider>` with your campaign ID
15
- 3. At checkout time, call `getAttribution()` and pass the result to Stripe metadata
16
-
17
- ### Step 1. wrap your app
18
-
19
- ```tsx
20
- // app/layout.tsx (Next.js App Router) or _app.tsx (Pages Router)
21
- import { AffiliateoProvider } from '@affiliateo/web';
22
-
23
- export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
24
- return (
25
- <AffiliateoProvider campaignId="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID">
26
- {children}
27
- </AffiliateoProvider>
28
- );
29
- }
30
- ```
31
-
32
- The provider:
33
- - Reads `?ref=` from the URL when a visitor arrives
34
- - Stores attribution in `localStorage` so it survives navigation
35
- - Sends pageview events to Affiliateo for click tracking
36
-
37
- ### Step 2. in your checkout button (client-side)
38
-
39
- ```tsx
40
- 'use client'
41
- import { getAttribution } from '@affiliateo/web';
42
-
43
- async function handleCheckout() {
44
- const attribution = getAttribution();
45
-
46
- const res = await fetch('/api/checkout', {
47
- method: 'POST',
48
- body: JSON.stringify({ attribution }),
49
- });
50
-
51
- const { url } = await res.json();
52
- window.location.href = url;
53
- }
54
- ```
55
-
56
- `getAttribution()` reads `affiliateo_ref`, `affiliateo_visitor_id`, and `affiliateo_campaign_id` from `localStorage` and returns them as an object, ready to pass to Stripe.
57
-
58
- ### Step 3. in your checkout API route (server-side)
59
-
60
- ```ts
61
- // app/api/checkout/route.ts
62
- export async function POST(req) {
63
- const { attribution } = await req.json();
64
-
65
- const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
66
- line_items: [{ price: 'price_xxx', quantity: 1 }],
67
- mode: 'payment',
68
- success_url: 'https://yoursite.com/success',
69
- cancel_url: 'https://yoursite.com/cancel',
70
- metadata: attribution,
71
- });
72
-
73
- return Response.json({ url: session.url });
74
- }
75
- ```
76
-
77
- That's it. Affiliateo's webhook will automatically read the metadata and credit the right affiliate when the payment succeeds.
78
-
79
- ## How it works
80
-
81
- 1. Visitor clicks affiliate link → `yoursite.com?ref=pinkproton`
82
- 2. `<AffiliateoProvider>` reads `?ref=pinkproton` from the URL and saves it in `localStorage`
83
- 3. As the visitor browses, attribution stays in their browser
84
- 4. At checkout, `getAttribution()` reads localStorage and returns the attribution object
85
- 5. Your server passes it as Stripe metadata when creating the checkout session
86
- 6. When Stripe fires the `checkout.session.completed` webhook, Affiliateo reads the metadata and credits the affiliate
87
-
88
- ## Why `localStorage` and not cookies?
89
-
90
- - **Not blocked by Safari ITP or most privacy tools**
91
- - **No CSRF concerns**
92
-
93
- ## GDPR / ePrivacy. merchant responsibility
94
-
95
- The SDK writes persistent identifiers (`affiliateo_visitor_id`, `affiliateo_ref`, `affiliateo_campaign_id`) to the visitor's `localStorage` and sends pageview events that include the visitor's IP, user agent, and approximate geolocation to Affiliateo's servers. Under EU ePrivacy (Article 5(3)) and GDPR, persistent identifiers stored on a visitor's device require prior consent the same way cookies do.
96
-
97
- If you serve visitors in the EU/EEA, UK, or any jurisdiction with equivalent rules, **you are responsible for obtaining consent before this script loads**, the same way you would for Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other analytics tool. Typical approaches:
98
-
99
- - Gate the `<AffiliateoProvider>` (or the `<script src="…/t.js">` tag) behind your cookie banner's "accept" callback so it only loads after consent.
100
- - Document Affiliateo in your privacy policy as a processor (see our [Data Processing Agreement](https://affiliateo.com/dpa)) and list the categories of data collected.
101
-
102
- Affiliateo acts as your data processor for visitor analytics. You are the controller and decide the lawful basis for processing your visitors' data.
103
-
104
- ## Alternative: vanilla HTML (no React)
105
-
106
- If you're not using React, use the tracking script directly instead of the provider:
107
-
108
- ```html
109
- <script defer
110
- data-campaign="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID"
111
- src="https://affiliateo.com/t.js"
112
- ></script>
113
- ```
114
-
115
- Then in your checkout flow (vanilla JS):
116
-
117
- ```js
118
- const attribution = {
119
- affiliateo_ref: localStorage.getItem('affiliateo_ref'),
120
- affiliateo_visitor_id: localStorage.getItem('affiliateo_visitor_id'),
121
- affiliateo_campaign_id: localStorage.getItem('affiliateo_campaign_id'),
122
- };
123
-
124
- // Send to your server with the rest of your checkout payload
125
- fetch('/api/checkout', {
126
- method: 'POST',
127
- body: JSON.stringify({ attribution }),
128
- });
129
- ```
130
-
131
- ## Track conversion goals
132
-
133
- Pageviews auto-track. For specific moments that matter to your funnel
134
- (`signup_completed`, `trial_started`, `initiate_checkout`, etc.), use
135
- `track()` or HTML data attributes.
136
-
137
- ### From React
138
-
139
- ```tsx
140
- 'use client'
141
- import { useEffect } from 'react'
142
- import { useAffiliateRef } from '@affiliateo/web'
143
-
144
- export default function SignupSuccess() {
145
- const { track } = useAffiliateRef()
146
- useEffect(() => {
147
- track('signup_completed', { plan: 'free' })
148
- }, [])
149
- return <div>Welcome!</div>
150
- }
151
- ```
152
-
153
- ### HTML data attributes (zero JS, works everywhere)
154
-
155
- ```html
156
- <button data-affiliateo-goal="initiate_checkout"
157
- data-affiliateo-goal-price="49"
158
- data-affiliateo-goal-plan="pro">
159
- Subscribe
160
- </button>
161
- ```
162
-
163
- The SDK auto-fires the goal on click. Optional `data-affiliateo-goal-*`
164
- attributes become metadata (kebab-case → snake_case, up to 10 params).
165
-
166
- ### Scroll-depth tracking
167
-
168
- ```html
169
- <section data-affiliateo-scroll="pricing_viewed">
170
- ...your pricing content...
171
- </section>
172
- ```
173
-
174
- Fires the first time any pixel of the section overlaps the viewport.
175
- Maximum permissiveness — if the user scrolled enough to see even a sliver,
176
- it counts. Earlier versions required 50% visibility, which was unreachable
177
- for tall sections (a pricing page with comparison tables silently dropped
178
- out of every funnel). Great for landing pages where you want to know
179
- which sections convert.
180
-
181
- ### Goal naming rules
182
-
183
- Lowercase letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, colons. Max 64 chars.
184
- Metadata bounded to 4KB JSON.
185
-
186
- ## Identify signed-in users (cross-device stitching)
187
-
188
- Without `identify()`, the same person browsing on phone and buying on
189
- laptop counts as two visitors. Call it once after sign-in:
190
-
191
- ```tsx
192
- 'use client'
193
- import { useEffect } from 'react'
194
- import { useAffiliateRef } from '@affiliateo/web'
195
- import { useUser } from './your-auth'
196
-
197
- export default function AuthBoundary({ children }) {
198
- const { identify } = useAffiliateRef()
199
- const user = useUser()
200
- useEffect(() => {
201
- if (user) identify(user.id)
202
- }, [user])
203
- return <>{children}</>
204
- }
205
- ```
206
-
207
- Idempotent. safe to fire on every page load while a user is signed in.
208
- **user_id only.** The SDK does not accept, collect, or transmit email
209
- or any other PII.
210
-
211
- ## API
212
-
213
- ### `<AffiliateoProvider campaignId="..." apiUrl?="...">`
214
-
215
- React provider. Wrap your app once. Reads `?ref=` from URL, persists to localStorage, sends pageview events, sets up data-attribute + scroll listeners.
216
-
217
- Props:
218
- - `campaignId` (required): your Affiliateo campaign ID
219
- - `apiUrl` (optional): defaults to `https://affiliateo.com`
220
-
221
- ### `useAffiliateRef()`
222
-
223
- React hook that returns `{ refCode, visitorId, track, identify }`.
224
-
225
- - `track(eventName, metadata?)`. fire a custom goal
226
- - `identify(userId)`. link this visitor to a merchant user_id (no PII)
227
-
228
- ### `getAttribution()`
229
-
230
- Client-side function. Returns an object with `affiliateo_ref`, `affiliateo_visitor_id`, and `affiliateo_campaign_id` from localStorage. Pass directly as Stripe `metadata`.
231
-
232
- ## Framework support
233
-
234
- Works with any JavaScript framework or vanilla JS:
235
- - **Next.js** (App Router & Pages Router)
236
- - **Remix** / **React Router**
237
- - **Vite + React**
238
- - **Vanilla JS/HTML** (use the `<script>` tag instead)
