Connect Payment Data to UTMs: The Attribution Method That Actually Pays
Stop guessing which ad spend creates buyers. Connect your payment data to UTM tracking and see actual revenue by source.

The short version
If you're running ads for digital products, courses, or memberships, you've likely built out meticulous UTM naming conventions. You've got source, medium, campaign, content, and term tracked across every landing page. Here's the problem: UTMs tell you what people clicked, but they don't tell you what they bought. You can see ten thousand visits from a Facebook campaign and still have zero visibility into whether that campaign produced a single paying customer. That's the gap Grometrics was built to close — connecting your payment data to UTM parameters so you can finally answer which traffic actually pays.
- UTMs alone show clicks, not revenue — you need transaction data tied to source parameters
- Grometrics links Stripe, RevenueCat, Gumroad, and other payments to UTM visitor sessions
- See which campaigns produce actual purchases, renewals, and refunds — not just conversions claimed by ad platforms
- First-party server-side tracking captures conversions that ad pixels miss
