Which customers are about to stop coming back?
By the time you notice a regular has gone quiet, they have booked somewhere else. The warning signs were spread across your accounts: a complaint, a missed visit, a failed card payment. No single tool saw all of it.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads Stripe and Meta Ads side by side, so it can spot the signs that a customer is drifting away.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our Google Ads management work.
How Stripe and Meta Ads records line up
Stripe and Meta Ads 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 customer retention uses from each
Customer retention needs repeat behaviour from the same customer over time.
From Stripe that means failed renewals, downgrades and cancellations. From Meta Ads it means the campaign that recruited each customer.
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.
Meta Ads on its own
Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.
Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.
Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
