How to configure affiliate program settings in Memberstack for subscription tracking? Answered
Hi guys!
I've successfully set up my entire course system on my agency account — everything is running smoothly so far. However, I’m currently stuck on configuring a new feature: the affiliate program settings.
Here’s a quick Loom video showing my current situation and everything I’ve tried so far:

Let me know if I should try another solution to track subscriptions — maybe using a custom field — or if it would be better to move on and find another software for that part. I really love Memberstack and would prefer to stick with it 100% if possible.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

One idea worth exploring is Script #193 – Member Activity Timeline Tracker. Since it’s built to log and display member interactions (like sign-ups, logins, and plan changes) in a timeline, you could adapt it to also track subscription events tied to your affiliate program. For example, when a new subscription is created, you can record the event in the member’s timeline and attach metadata such as the affiliate code or referring member. This way you’ll have a clear record of who subscribed, when, and through which affiliate — all inside Memberstack.
That said, if your main goal is purely to calculate affiliate commissions, then a simpler approach might be to use a custom field to store the affiliate ID and pair it with webhooks for subscription events. Script #193 is best when you want to display a chronological history of member actions and make that data visible, while custom fields/webhooks are more efficient for backend calculations.
Hey Thibault Besson-Magdelain, you could track the member who originally invited the new member by adding a custom field in Memberstack dashboard named say "Invite Code". And add a custom attribute data-ms-member="CUSTOM_FIELD_ID" to the invite code field on the signup page in Webflow. Make sure you replace the value "CUSTOM_FIELD_ID" with the actual field ID from the memberstack dashboard where you want to store this data.
You could have a look at this tutorial video where you can notice a custom attribute set for the invite code field at 0:52 second in the video. Having set that up, you should be receiving that data in your Make workflow when a user signs up via an invite code. Hope this helps.
You are a king. I just forgot to add the custom field to my Member database — long live Memberstack!
By the way, I have a course about SEO and Webflow, and many of my clients will need to use Memberstack. Do you have an affiliate program?
We do, but it's invite only.
