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 Stripe and Google Search Console records line up
Stripe and Google Search Console share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Stripe charges can be read against what Google Search Console recorded in the same hours.
What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From Stripe that means charge amounts matched to the customer email. From Google Search Console it means clicks by landing page.
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
Stripe on its own
Stripe knows the payment, the amount and the customer's email. It has no record of the ad, search or email that brought the customer in.
Timing. Stripe records each charge, refund and failed payment as it happens. Payouts land on a schedule days later, so charge date and payout date differ.
Access. A restricted, read-only Stripe API key, or Stripe Connect.
Google Search Console on its own
Search Console sees the search up to the click and stops there. It cannot say whether that visitor booked, bought or left.
Timing. Search Console numbers usually arrive two to three days behind, reported as daily totals per query and page.
Access. The Search Console API with read access to the property.
