the problem

How do you get one set of numbers you can trust?

GA4 says one thing, Stripe says another, and your booking system disagrees with both. Matching them by hand takes hours, and the answer is still fuzzy.

A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our email marketing work.

matching the records

How Klaviyo and QuickBooks records line up

Klaviyo and QuickBooks both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.

Both tools can hold a phone number. Numbers are normalised to one international format before matching, which catches customers who never gave an email.

Shared between the two: the customer email address and the phone number.

What combined reporting uses from each

Combined reporting needs a shared identifier or a shared time grain.

From Klaviyo that means profile emails and phone numbers. From QuickBooks it means customer emails and invoice numbers.

Klaviyo and QuickBooks are on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Klaviyo on its own

Klaviyo sees who received, opened and clicked. It credits revenue by its own attribution window and cannot see sales that happen off the store it is connected to.

Timing. Klaviyo logs sends, opens and clicks as events. Apple Mail Privacy Protection preloads images, so open counts run high and clicks are the steadier signal.

Access. A Klaviyo private API key with read-only scopes.

QuickBooks on its own

QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.

Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.

Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
