How Shopify and WordPress records line up
Shopify and WordPress share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Shopify orders can be read against what WordPress recorded in the same hours.
What anomaly detection uses from each
Anomaly detection needs a steady daily series with a known normal range.
From Shopify that means orders per hour and checkout completion. From WordPress it means recently modified pages.
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.
WordPress on its own
WordPress knows what is published and when it changed. Without analytics beside it, it has no idea which pages bring in work.
Timing. WordPress stamps the publish and modified date on every post and page, which marks exactly when content changed.
Access. The WordPress REST API with an application password.
