Track Payments To Profitably Grow Your Client’s Business
Let’s say your client is running an eCommerce company and you’ve been charged with profitably growing their business. To do this, you need to understand the value that new leads bring to the table as well as the lifetime value of new customers.
Using the Stripe Reporting Dashboard, you quickly and easily see the payments being generated for your client and the refund rate–which your team can use to calculate and adjust target CPAs for new customers quickly.
For example, if the average order value for your client is $400, but they have a 15% refund rate the projected final revenue amount is closer to $340. Understanding the refund rate helps your agency set realistic acquisition targets.
Your team uses this data to set MQL, PQL, and SQL targets. Staying on top of key payment metrics is key to making smart decisions and adjusting campaigns in real-time. You don’t have to log in to each client’s Stripe account using the Stripe integration to pull these metrics. They are available side-by-side with campaign, website, and SEO analytics to paint a complete picture of the business.
Stripe payment data is used to inform marketing decisions by understanding customer spending habits and your client's overall revenue growth. This information helps agencies better target marketing campaigns and understand what is driving the business forward, like:
Making decisions about the actual value of new customers, including those with recurring revenue products.
Adjusting acquisition campaigns by understanding how much customers are willing to spend on a product and how long they are likely to stay with your clients
Understanding which products are most popular with customers and determining whether or not to offer discounts on certain products
Agency Tip: Whether your client is in the SaaS space or has a monthly automatic reorder program in place, understanding Churn Rate is important. If you know your Churn Rate, you can calculate a basic Customer Lifetime Value projection. Customer Lifetime is 1 divided by the Churn Rate. So, if your Churn Rate is 1% per month, your Customer Lifetime is 1/.01=100 months or a little over eight years.
By understanding how customers interact with products, businesses and their agency partners can make better marketing, pricing, and inventory management decisions. Additionally, this data helps companies to track their progress over time and make necessary changes to their business models.
Streamline Your Agency’s Client Reporting

It's not uncommon for clients to offer a mix of products or services that are both transactional and recurring. From a SaaS subscription to a Cheese of the Month Club, these customers purchase once but pay multiple times. This lack of differentiation makes traditional marketing reports challenging because there isn’t a straightforward way to differentiate between one-time payments and the first month of a subscription.
Stripe offers their own dashboards summarizing payment data–but they are highly technical and difficult to add to your client reports.
Using the Stripe integration from AgencyAnalytics, your agency quickly sees the overall revenue picture, including the total revenue generated during a set period and the breakdown of one-time (transactional) and recurring (subscription) revenue to better forecast and plan the growth of the entire business.
Use the drag-and-drop report builder in AgencyAnalytics to combine your client’s payment data alongside over 75 other integrations of your choice to create complete and detailed dashboards and reports in a fraction of the time.
Want to see specific data aligned with Stripe payment metrics? Use custom metrics to compare revenue against total ad spend. By using a simple formula to combine the ad spend from every platform and compare it against the total payments received, quickly see what percent of revenue is being reinvested into marketing.
Once you've created a custom metric, add it like any other widget to your client’s custom dashboard or to reports.
Custom metrics are so flexible, use them for specific data points or projections, such as:
Combine Google Analytics customer acquisition data with Stripe MRR data to create a rough projection of Lifetime Value by Channel to showcase the total revenue potential of Paid Ads, Social Media, SEO, and more.
Compare Drip Subscriber Counts to total Stripe revenue to estimate the average value of each contact in your client’s database. Use this to set a target CPL for new leads.
Similarly, use call tracking details from Call Rail to set an average value to the company for each phone call generated. You can then turn this data into CPA targets for Google Local Services Ads.
Use the monthly revenue figures from Stripe to allocate a percentage-based growth marketing budget and invest them into Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Spotify Ads, and more–all without putting additional strain on your client’s finances.
Combine Stripe data with eCommerce data from Shopify to spot trends in online vs. offline purchases.
The options are practically endless. Almost every data point within the AgencyAnalytics dashboard can be combined with your client’s Stripe metrics to create revenue estimates for key marketing activities.
What’s Included in the Stripe Dashboard?
Use the Stripe reporting dashboard to get a clear picture of what is happening behind the payment wall without having to lift a finger.
Alternatively, add your Stripe data points with the widgets and chosen graphic representations into your own custom marketing dashboard crafted for your client’s unique needs. Drag and drop the sections you wish to highlight most to the top, and turn it into a ready client report with a few clicks.
