Example workflows
Two practical decisions, with steps from each product’s documentation.
You launched a paid campaign and want to compare purchases with the traffic it brought in.
How to decideChoose Jelto for aggregate channel reporting alongside desktop activity. DataFast fits a workflow that needs to inspect individual purchase journeys.
Connect your payment provider and pass Jelto’s channel label through checkout. In Revenue by channel, select Campaign and compare revenue and purchases over the campaign period. Check unattributed payments before interpreting the totals.
Jelto revenue guideConnect a payment provider and follow DataFast’s attribution guide for your checkout integration. DataFast connects payments to visitor journeys, so you can investigate the visits behind a purchase.
DataFast revenue attribution guideYour website promotes software. Decide whether you need release adoption or an identified web-to-mobile journey.
How to decideJelto fits desktop adoption and install retention. DataFast’s documented React Native workflow fits identified website-to-mobile funnels; these are different measurements.
Install the desktop SDK, configure the latest app version, and read Version adoption and D7 retention. These reports describe active and returning installations. Website visits stay separate from app installs.
Jelto app usage guideFor a React Native app, use DataFast’s website script and app SDK with the same website ID. Identify the same account on both surfaces to connect profiles and build a funnel across website and mobile events.
DataFast web-to-app trackingA look inside Jelto
For software teams, the next question is what happens after installation.
Website visits and app installs are not joined at the individual or marketing-channel level. Download to Install compares period totals; it is not a person-by-person conversion funnel. Read the app metric definitions.
Make the move
Start with the pages and campaigns you already measure. Install Jelto, register the goals you need, and connect a supported payment provider. Verify payment receipt and checkout attribution separately. Add a desktop SDK if you also ship an app.
Keep access to your existing history. These steps set up new collection; they do not import your DataFast reports.
Before you choose
Estimate your website traffic and the desktop installs you need to measure. Jelto plans include pageviews and monthly active installs; DataFast uses traffic-based plans. Compare current allowances and payment features for your own usage.
No. Website visits and desktop installs are reported together but are not joined at the individual or marketing-channel level. Download to Install is a period ratio, not a person-by-person conversion funnel.
Jelto has native connections for Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, and Polar. A custom provider can forward verified payments through the Payments API. Connecting a provider does not automatically configure checkout attribution.
No. DataFast offers both its default cookie-based script and a separate cookieless script. Jelto starts with cookieless collection and offers optional cookie mode and attribution memory.
