Goals and revenue

Stripe

Stripe analytics in Stickybeak starts when buyers return to your site. Verify the payment on your server, then send the purchase from the success page.

#Stripe conversion tracking with Checkout

1. #Include the session ID

   const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
     mode: "payment",
     line_items: [{ price: "price_123", quantity: 1 }],
     success_url: "https://example.com/thank-you?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}",
     cancel_url: "https://example.com/pricing",
   });

2. #Verify it server-side

   Retrieve the session with your secret key. Continue only when payment_status is paid.

3. #Send the verified values

   window.stickybeak("purchase", {
     revenue: session.amount_total / 100,
     currency: session.currency,
     order_id: session.id,
   });

amount_total uses the smallest currency unit. Do not divide zero-decimal currencies such as JPY or KRW. Lowercase currency codes are accepted.

#Payment Links and Buy Buttons

Under the payment link's Confirmation page, redirect to:

https://example.com/thank-you?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}

Buy Buttons use the payment link's settings. Verify the session as above.

#Payment Element

Stripe adds a payment_intent parameter to your return_url. Retrieve it on your server, require status: succeeded, then send amount_received, currency and its ID.

#Limits

• Subscription checkout records the first payment. Renewals, upgrades and refunds are not recorded; a free trial starts at zero, so it is not an order.
• The buyer must return to your page. Closing the tab before redirect loses the purchase.
• Stripe return traffic has no referrer, and session_id is removed from analytics URLs.
