Stripe Integration

After signing up and selecting Stripe as your payment provider, you need to do a few things before you can start using Afficone.

1. ​

   Connect your Stripe Account

After signing up selecting Stripe as your payment provider, click the Connect with Stripe button. This will lead you to a Stripe-hosted page where you can select the Stripe Account you want to use for this integration.

2. ​

   Install our tracking script on your website

In order to track affiliate clicks, you have to add our <script> tag to all of your website’s pages.

For example, if you have a landing page at example.com, but your billing page is at app.example.com, you have to add the script to both of these pages.

3. ​

   Integrate your Stripe’s payment system

Depending on how you handle payments on your side, you might have to add some additional code on your backend.

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>

stripe.redirectToCheckout({
    success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
    mode: 'payment' | 'setup' | 'subscription',
    line_items: [
        // The items being purchased
    ],
    clientReferenceId: window.Afficone.referral ?? null
});

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>

stripe.redirectToCheckout({
    success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
    mode: 'payment' | 'setup' | 'subscription',
    line_items: [
        // The items being purchased
    ],
    clientReferenceId: window.Afficone.referral ?? null
});

const stripe = require('stripe')('YOUR_API_KEY');

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
    success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
    mode: 'payment' | 'setup' | 'subscription',
    line_items: [
        // The items being purchased
    ],
    customer_creation: "always" // Required to be "always"
    clientReferenceId: "[REFERRAL_CODE]" // Pass this from the browser
});

const stripe = require('stripe')('YOUR_API_KEY');
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    amount: 20,
    currency: 'usd',
    automatic_payment_methods: {
        enabled: true
    },
    metadata: {
        _afficoneRef: "[REFERRAL_CODE]" // Pass this from the browser
    }
});

Offering free trials?

If you’re creating Stripe customers via API (that’s usually the case when offering a free trial), you have to set some customer metadata manually.

This is done by specifying an _afficoneRef property in the metadata object when creating a customer:

const stripe = require('stripe')('[Your API key]');

const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
   metadata: {
       _afficoneRef: '[Referral Code]',
   }
});
