Your data comes in live. Your history comes with our help.
Send live data through the JavaScript snippet, Google Tag Manager, Segment, the server-side API, the mobile SDKs, the Shopify app or the WordPress plugin. Past data from another tool comes in through our paid migration service.
| For | Question and answer |
|---|---|
| E-commerce | Can I see last year’s orders next to this year’s, in the same report? Yes, through our paid migration service. 412,880 past orders matched to 96,204 people, so repeat rate spans both years. |
| SaaS | Our renewals happen in Stripe, not the browser. How do those get in? Through the API. Renewals, refunds and failed payments arrive against the same person as the signup. |
| B2B | We already send everything to Segment. Do we have to rip that out? No. Add it as a destination and your existing tracking plan flows in unchanged. |
Ready the day you install. It fills in as your data arrives.
What it is good for
Most analytics starts the day you install it, which means your first cohort analysis has nothing to compare against. Kissmetrics does not import past data on its own. If you need your history from another tool, our migration service moves it for you as a paid project. Everything after install arrives live, from the browser, your backend and your apps, on one timeline per person.
- Sending backend events the browser never sees, such as renewals and refunds
- Keeping an existing Segment or Google Tag Manager setup
- Tracking a Shopify or WooCommerce store with the app or the WordPress plugin
- Bringing past data over with the paid migration service
How different businesses send their data
E-commerce
Bring order history over, so the first cohort report is worth reading.
Our migration service loads 14 months of orders keyed on email, and the JavaScript snippet tracks live sessions.
412,880 past orders land against 96,204 people, so repeat rate and lifetime value cover the whole customer from the first day.
