Stripe

Connect Stripe to track checkout revenue and attribute it to traffic sources.

Connect Stripe

1. Create a restricted API key

   Go to Stripe Dashboard → API Keys and create a new restricted key with read-only access to:

   • Checkout Sessions
   • Payment Intents
   • Customers (optional, for enrichment)

   Use a restricted key, not your secret key. Only grant the minimum permissions needed.

2. Paste the key in Revlytics

   Go to Settings → Revenue Tracking in your Revlytics dashboard. Select Stripe from the provider dropdown and paste the restricted key.

3. Click Connect

   Revlytics validates the key and starts syncing your revenue data.

Automatic checkout detection

The Revlytics tracking script automatically detects Stripe Checkout completions. When a customer completes a purchase and is redirected back to your site with a session_id parameter starting with cs_, a payment event is fired.

Stripe Checkout setup

Make sure your Checkout success URL includes the session ID:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  // ... other options
  success_url: "https://yoursite.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}",
});

The {CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID} template variable is automatically replaced by Stripe with the actual session ID.

Customer email	Stripe API (if connected)

Payment Links

If you use Stripe Payment Links, add the client_reference_id parameter to include your site’s visitor ID for attribution:

https://buy.stripe.com/xxx?client_reference_id={visitor_id}

Subscriptions

Recurring subscription payments are tracked automatically when using Stripe Billing. Each renewal that triggers a checkout event is captured as a separate payment event.
