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 Slack records line up
WooCommerce and Slack share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in WooCommerce orders can be read against what Slack recorded in the same hours.
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 Slack it means launch announcements in the channels you connect.
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.
WooCommerce and Slack 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.
Slack on its own
Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.
Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.
Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.
