Stripe API

Step 1: Connect Stripe to Humblytics

Before Humblytics can track your revenue, connect your Stripe account:

1. Go to your Humblytics dashboard and open Site Settings

2. Click the Revenue tab

3. Select Stripe as your payment provider

4. Choose Stripe API as the integration method

5. Enter your Stripe Secret Key (available in your Stripe Dashboard)

6. Save your configuration

Your Stripe Secret Key is encrypted and stored securely. Never share it publicly.

Step 2: Add the humblytics_view_id Metadata

Tag your Stripe objects with a humblytics_view_id to link payments back to the visitor session. Humblytics looks for the first humblytics_view_id across these Stripe objects:

Stripe Object	When to Use
PaymentIntent	One-time payments or custom payment flows
Invoice	Payments generated from invoices
Subscription	Recurring payments and renewals
Checkout	Hosted checkout flows using Stripe Checkout
Customer	Apply the ID globally to future invoices/payments

💡 If you store the ID on a Subscription or Customer, Humblytics automatically applies it to future invoices and payments for that customer.

Frontend: capture the view ID

// Get the current Humblytics view ID on the client
const viewId = window.Humblytics.viewId;

// Send it to your backend along with the payload you already collect
await fetch("/api/create-payment", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    amount: 5000,
    currency: "usd",
    humblytics_view_id: viewId,
    // ...any other fields you need to pass along
  }),
});

Backend examples

Attach the humblytics_view_id inside your server-side Stripe calls. Pick the object that matches your flow.

// One-time payment using PaymentIntents
const { amount, currency, humblytics_view_id } = payload;

const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
  amount,
  currency,
  metadata: {
    humblytics_view_id,
  },
});

// Subscription signup
const { customerId, priceId, humblytics_view_id } = payload;

const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
  customer: customerId,
  items: [{ price: priceId }],
  metadata: {
    humblytics_view_id,
  },
});

// Stripe Checkout Session
const { line_items, humblytics_view_id } = payload;

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  line_items,
  mode: "payment",
  metadata: {
    humblytics_view_id,
  },
});

// Apply globally to a Customer record
const { customerId, humblytics_view_id } = payload;

await stripe.customers.update(customerId, {
  metadata: {
    humblytics_view_id,
  },
});

Step 3: View Attributed Revenue

After a payment succeeds, Humblytics automatically attributes the revenue to the correct visitor session—no webhooks or extra setup required. Review the revenue metrics (referrer, country, browser, etc.) in your Humblytics dashboard.

Key Benefits

Benefit	Detail
Automatic attribution	Revenue linked to visitor and campaign data
Flexible integration	Works with Checkout, PaymentIntents, Subscriptions, etc.
No webhooks needed	Metadata-based tracking keeps setup simple
Privacy-compliant	Cookie-free tracking, no consent banners
Split test ready	Use revenue as a goal in your Humblytics A/B tests

Setting Up Split Tests with Revenue Goals

1. Create a split test on your main website

2. Choose Revenue as your goal type

3. Set a target revenue or select Any Revenue

4. Launch the test - revenue is tracked automatically

Troubleshooting

• No revenue data appearing? Confirm your Stripe account is connected to Humblytics.

• Missing attribution? Ensure a humblytics_view_id metadata field is set on at least one supported Stripe object.
