Where do revenue and churn numbers come from?
From your own Shopify Partner API data. You create a Partner API token in your Shopify Partner account and add it with your organization ID.
AppstorePulse reads your app's transactions and app events: installs, uninstalls and subscription charges. Your token is stored encrypted.
Where do install and listing traffic numbers come from?
From the Google Analytics 4 property on your App Store listing, which you connect with read-only access.
For install attribution, you export GA4 to your own BigQuery project and give AppstorePulse two roles: BigQuery Data Viewer and BigQuery Job User. We copy only listing page views and app install events, then match each install to the listing visit before it. An install with no matching visit stays unmatched: we never guess.
