What Hendrik checks

  1. Order and refund cohorts

    Compare Shopify net order value with refunds by original order cohort. Keep paid status and the store currency visible.

  2. Event and release context

    Check PostHog event definition, instrumentation coverage, feature-flag exposure, annotations, and session scope before interpreting a journey change.

  3. Explain the divergence

    Shopify: net order value (USD, 28 days) changed from 110,000 USD to 106,000 USD. PostHog: checkout-completed events (count, 28 days) changed from 1,360 to 1,160. Compare the timing and definitions before attributing one change to the other.

  2. Connect your data. Use each integration’s setup instructions above. Availability and permissions are shown in your workspace.
  3. Ask your first question. Hendrik uses the available data and tells you when a comparison needs more history or more data.
Requirements and data limits

What you need

  • Use one explicit 28-day comparison window, time zone, market, and legal-entity scope before comparing values.
  • Connected Shopify order, refund, and inventory data for the same store and comparison window.
  • Connected PostHog project with the relevant event definition and capture coverage.
  • Keep provider-specific definitions visible and use an identity or product mapping only where it is established for this workspace.

Keep these differences in mind

  • Declared UTM text is not a verified ad-platform campaign identity; cost coverage and provenance control any margin claim.
  • Captured events depend on instrumentation and coverage; they do not automatically identify a payment, order, or campaign.
  • A parallel PostHog event and Shopify order movement does not prove the release caused the outcome.
