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 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 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 SAP it means invoiced amounts by customer account.
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.
