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 WooCommerce records line up
Stripe and WooCommerce 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 Stripe that means charge amounts matched to the customer email. From WooCommerce it means order totals and the order attribution source.
WooCommerce is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
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.
WooCommerce on its own
WooCommerce sees the order and, on recent versions, its source tag. It cannot see ad cost or the visits that did not buy.
Timing. WooCommerce writes each order when it is placed, and recent versions save the order's source and UTM values with it.
Access. The WooCommerce REST API with a read-only key.
