Add the tracking script through Design Settings, add a conversion-tracking snippet through the Widget Manager, and connect Stripe so upgrades and renewals are attributed automatically. [Brilliant Directories](https://www.brilliantdirectories.com/) is a platform for building membership directory websites, with paid member plans handled through Stripe. Connecting it to Referly means someone who arrives on an affiliate link and then upgrades to a paid membership is credited to the affiliate who sent them, along with their renewals. Brilliant Directories lets you add your own code in two places — the site head, and a conversion-tracking widget — which is exactly what this integration needs. You add the Referly tracking script to the head, drop a sale-tracking snippet into the conversion widget, and connect Stripe. Plan about 20 minutes. Referly and Brilliant Directories connected by sync arrows ## What this integration can and can't track | What you want to track | Does it work? | Notes | | ------------------------ | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Link clicks and visits | Yes | From the tracking script in Design Settings | | Free member sign-ups | Yes | Fired from the conversion-tracking widget | | Paid membership upgrades | Yes, with the amount | Recorded as a sale with commission | | Recurring renewals | Yes | Each renewal payment comes through Stripe | | Refunds | Yes | Referly recognises a refund and adjusts the commission | | Cancelled memberships | Yes | Referly knows when a subscription ends | The sale side runs through Stripe, so it covers the whole life of a member: the first upgrade, every renewal, refunds, and cancellations. ## Before you start You'll need: * A live Referly program with at least one affiliate to test with. See [setting up your program](/docs/help-center/getting-started/set-up-program/affiliate-program-setup) if you haven't got that far. * Admin access to your Brilliant Directories site. * A Stripe account your directory charges memberships through. Open the guide inside Referly first, because it has your program's own tracking script filled in. In your dashboard, open **Settings** from the left sidebar, select **Integrations**, find the **Brilliant Directories** card, and select **Instructions**. ## Step 1: Add the Referly tracking script Copy the script from **Step 1** of the instructions window. Your program's own identifier is already filled in where `YOUR_PROGRAM_ID` appears here: ```html theme={null} ``` Now put it into Brilliant Directories: Go to your Brilliant Directories admin panel and select your website. Open **Design Settings → Custom CSS/HEAD**. This is where Brilliant Directories lets you add code to every page's ``. Paste the tracking script in and save. Using the head means tracking starts as early as possible in the page load. If affiliates send traffic to a marketing site first and people click through to your directory, put the tracking script on both. A visitor who is never recognised can't be credited. ## Step 2: Connect Stripe Brilliant Directories charges memberships through Stripe, and Stripe is where Referly reads your revenue from. Without this step you'll see clicks and sign-ups but no sales. In the instructions window, go to **Step 2: Connect Stripe** and select **Connect Stripe**. You'll be sent to Stripe to authorise the connection, then returned to Referly. Use the same Stripe account your directory charges through, and make sure your program's test-or-live mode matches the payments you expect. ## Step 3: Add the conversion-tracking snippet Brilliant Directories fires a conversion-tracking widget when a member signs up or upgrades. That's where Referly's sale snippet goes, so it can record the sign-up and the payment with the member's real details. Go to your Brilliant Directories admin panel and select your website. Go to **Toolbox → Widget Manager**. Search for the widget **Bootstrap Theme - Conversion Tracking Codes**. Click **Actions → Customize**. In the HTML section, find the line that reads *Enter Conversion Tracking Codes To Track Sign Ups & Upgraded Members Below \*\*\*\*\*\*\* -->*. Paste the code below beneath that line and save. ```html theme={null} ``` The PHP placeholders are filled in by Brilliant Directories at the moment a member converts, so Referly receives the real user, amount, name, and email. The payment is then matched to the referred visitor and credited to the affiliate. ## Test it end to end Run a real sign-up and upgrade through before telling affiliates the integration is live. Open **Affiliates** in the left sidebar of Referly, pick an affiliate, and copy their referral link. Use a private or incognito window so no old tracking interferes. Land on your directory and let the page finish loading. Register a new member with a fresh email address, then upgrade to a paid plan. Use a low-priced plan or a full-discount coupon rather than a live card charge if you can. Open **Customers** in the left sidebar. The member should appear within a minute, credited to the affiliate whose link you used, with the amount they paid and its commission. When the test upgrade appears under **Customers** against the right affiliate with the right amount, you're done. Refund the test payment in Stripe and remove the test referral in Referly so your reports start clean. ## Troubleshooting Almost always the Stripe connection. Check that Referly is connected to the same Stripe account your directory charges through, and that your program's test-or-live mode matches the payments you're expecting. The Step 1 script isn't running. Confirm it's saved in **Design Settings → Custom CSS/HEAD**, then load a page with an affiliate link on the end and check a click shows up in Referly. The Step 3 snippet needs to be in the **Bootstrap Theme - Conversion Tracking Codes** widget, beneath the placeholder line. Confirm you saved the widget after pasting it. The member most likely visited on another affiliate's link earlier. The first affiliate to refer someone keeps the credit for the length of your cookie window. You can move a referral from the customer's page, described in [managing referred customers](/docs/help-center/manage/customers/overview). Still stuck?
