// Available properties
console.log(referral.refCode);       // Current referral code
console.log(referral.stripeAccount); // Connected Stripe account
console.log(referral.apiKey);        // Your API key

​

Include referral data in your Stripe Checkout sessions:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
  cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
  metadata: { 
    affiliationhub_referral: referral.refCode,

Make sure your Stripe webhook endpoint is properly configured to receive these events.
