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 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 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 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
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.
