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 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 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 WordPress it means the page URL each conversion started on.
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.
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.
