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 WooCommerce and Klaviyo records line up
WooCommerce and Klaviyo 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.
Both tools can hold a phone number. Numbers are normalised to one international format before matching, which catches customers who never gave an email.
Shared between the two: the customer email address, the phone number and the UTM campaign tags.
What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From WooCommerce that means order totals and the order attribution source. From Klaviyo it means email clicks with their UTM tags.
WooCommerce and Klaviyo are on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
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.
Klaviyo on its own
Klaviyo sees who received, opened and clicked. It credits revenue by its own attribution window and cannot see sales that happen off the store it is connected to.
Timing. Klaviyo logs sends, opens and clicks as events. Apple Mail Privacy Protection preloads images, so open counts run high and clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. A Klaviyo private API key with read-only scopes.
