What this view attributes

Revenue shown here comes from ShopifyQL sessions tagged to an identifiable AI channel, using a last-click view in the app.

Not included in this total

Organic search, direct, paid, email, and AI influence without a traceable referral remain separate channels.

Observable, not exhaustive

Referred sessions, matched orders, revenue, source classification, and attribution caveats by period. Illustrative data.

What you get

Revenue attribution in three moves.

01

Separate real referral traffic

Distinguish confirmed AI referrals from unrelated channels, including Shopify Shop.

02

Inspect matched commerce

Review sessions, orders, revenue, products, models, and surfaces by period.

03

Report limits clearly

Keep observed referral revenue separate from correlation and untracked recommendation views.

How it works

From signal to next move.

  1. 01

    Classify the referral

    Validate supported AI referrers and exclude unrelated sources.

  2. 02

    Match eligible orders

    Connect sessions with available order and revenue evidence under defined rules.

  3. 03

    Disclose caveats

    Every result shows what could not be observed so the number stays honest.

  4. 04

    Review the attribution

    Filter by period, model, surface, and product with the disclosures visible.

FAQ

Questions about revenue attribution.

What is AI revenue attribution?

It links confirmed sessions from supported AI referrers with matched orders and revenue. Wildcard reports only what is directly observable and does not credit unobservable recommendation journeys.

Reporting dashboard

Is Shopify Shop counted as AI referral revenue?

No. Shopify Shop is a separate commerce channel. Wildcard excludes it unless evidence identifies a distinct AI referrer, so the AI referral number stays honest.

Can every AI recommendation be tracked through purchase?

No. Referrers can be missing, research crosses devices, and some views are unobservable. Wildcard reports the confirmed paths and discloses the ones it cannot see.

Prompt tracking

How can revenue results be filtered?

By period, model, surface, product, and available commerce dimensions. Wildcard applies the same filters to visibility and citation reporting so the numbers reconcile.

Reporting dashboard

How is this different from GA4 or a CDP?

Analytics tools show that a session arrived. Wildcard also shows which tracked prompt drove that session and which recommendation likely earned the citation behind it.
