Connect Plausible
Record checkout visits and the checkout, lead, PIX generated and purchase-with-revenue goals on your Plausible site.
With Plausible connected, the Plausible script loads on the checkout and the thank-you page, counts visits and sends custom events to your goals. The purchase goes with the revenue, so Plausible shows how much each source sold.
Before you start, it helps to read how conversion tracking works.
Before you start
- A site registered in Plausible, on the hosted version at plausible.io.
- To see revenue, a Plausible plan with revenue tracking.
- The Admin or Owner role in the Vipter project.
- At least one product created in Vipter.
Plausible only receives from the browser
Step 1: create the goals in Plausible
Plausible only shows a custom event once there is a goal with the same name.
- In Plausible, open the site settings and the Goals section.
- Click Add goal, choose Custom event and create a goal for each event in the table below that you want to see:
Checkout,Lead,PIX generatedandPurchase. The name must match exactly, with the same capitalization and the space. - On the
Purchasegoal, turn on revenue tracking and choose the currency Plausible should add up sales in. - Note the site's domain exactly as it is registered in Plausible, such as
yourstore.com.
Step 2: connect the account in Vipter
- In the Vipter dashboard, open GeneralConversionsAccounts and click Connect account. Choose Plausible.
- Fill in the numbered fields.

| # | Field | What to paste |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Site domain (data-domain) | The site domain in Plausible, from step 1, without https:// and without a trailing slash. |
| 2 | Account name | A name to recognize the account, such as "Store Plausible". If left blank, it is "Plausible". |
- Click Connect and verify and then Continue.
- Check the products where the script should load and click Finish. Turn on Use automatically on new products to include products created later.
Step 3: test
- Open the checkout of a product linked to the account.
- In the Plausible dashboard, the visit shows among current visitors, and the
Checkoutgoal records a conversion. - In Vipter, the account's Connection tab shows when the first event was received, after someone fills in their details on the checkout.
It worked if
Plausible shows the checkout visit and the Checkout goal. After the first sale, the Purchase goal shows the revenue.

Common problems
-
The visit shows, but the goals don't
The goal doesn't exist or has another name. Create the Custom event goal with the exact name from the table.
-
Revenue doesn't show on the Purchase goal
Revenue tracking isn't on for the goal, or your Plausible plan doesn't include revenue.
-
Two Plausible accounts on the same product, and only one receives
The checkout loads a single Plausible site per product. Keep one Plausible account on each product.
-
Nothing arrives when the buyer declines cookies
With the consent banner on, the script only loads after the buyer accepts.
What to do next
- Paste the UTM script on your sales page to keep the visit's source all the way to the checkout.
