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.

How askotter handles it

askotter reads Shopify and SAP side by side, so it can combine your accounts into one clean report you can ask questions of.

A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our conversion rate optimization work.

matching the records

How Shopify and SAP records line up

Shopify and SAP 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.

Shared between the two: the customer email address.

What combined reporting uses from each

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

From Shopify that means order IDs and customer emails. From SAP it means sales order numbers and customer accounts.

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.

SAP on its own

SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.

Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.

Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
