Which marketing brings in paying customers?
Every ad platform takes credit for the same customer. Google, Meta and your email tool can each claim one booking, and they cannot all be right. You need one count you can trust.

How Shopify and GitHub records line up
Shopify and GitHub share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Shopify orders can be read against what GitHub recorded in the same hours.
What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From Shopify that means order totals and the landing-page URL saved on each order. From GitHub it means release dates for changes to checkout or booking flows.
These two tools hold no shared customer identifier, so per-customer answers need a third connected tool that each side can match, such as GA4 or your CRM. Daily totals work with these two alone.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Shopify on its own
Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.
Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.
Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
