How Stripe and WordPress records line up
Stripe and WordPress share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Stripe charges can be read against what WordPress recorded in the same hours.
What predictive forecasting uses from each
Predictive forecasting needs enough history to see the seasonal pattern.
From Stripe that means recurring revenue by plan and renewal dates. From WordPress it means publishing dates by category.
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.
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.
