What is Revenue attribution and how does it work?

With Revenue Statistics for Newsletters you can:

1. See how much value your newsletter brings you.
2. Make better business decisions when it comes to campaign creation.

The results of marketing campaigns, which translate into orders in the store, can be found in the Tools > Email marketing page and Newsletter reports.

Revenue is counted during the Attribution window. The Attribution window is the time frame in which we wait for the order. The window opens when the recipient clicks on any link in the email and closes after a specified period of time. Each recipient’s order that is registered while the Attribution window is open will be assigned to the message that triggered its opening.

A new message sent to the same recipient may overwrite the open Attribution window. In the context of one store and recipient, there can only be one active conversion window.
