Count purchases on a non-Shopify site that checks out through Stripe, with one line of code or a thank-you page redirect.

If your store runs on Shopify, skip this page: purchases are counted by the Luria app automatically and Stripe never comes into it. This page is for everyone else, a custom site, a landing page builder, a course platform, anything that takes payment through Stripe Checkout or Stripe Elements.

Luria needs to know two things: that a purchase happened, and how much it was worth. You have three ways to tell it, from easiest to most robust.

## Option 1: Send Stripe to a thank-you page (no code)
Luria automatically counts a purchase when a visitor lands on a URL containing `/thank-you`, `/thank_you`, or `/orders/<id>` on a non-Shopify site. So the simplest setup is to make Stripe send people to a page like that after they pay.

In Stripe Checkout, that's the `success_url` on your Checkout Session. Point it at your thank-you page:

```text
https://yourstore.com/thank-you?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}
```

If you use Stripe Payment Links, set the confirmation page under **After payment > Redirect to your website** and enter the same URL.

Make sure the Luria snippet is installed on the thank-you page (it should be on every page; see [Install on a custom site](/install/custom-site)).

**Limitation:** auto-detection counts the conversion but does not know the order value, so revenue-based reporting will show the purchase without an amount.  If you care about value, add Option 2.

## Option 2: Call `window.luria.convert` on your success page (one line)
On your thank-you page, after the Luria snippet has loaded, call:

```html
<script>
  window.luria.convert("purchase", 129.00);
</script>
```

Replace `129.00` with the order total in your store's currency. Most setups read the amount from the server when rendering the thank-you page, or fetch it using the `session_id` Stripe appended to the URL.

Guard against the snippet not being ready yet:

```html
<script>
  (window.luria && window.luria.convert)
? window.luria.convert("purchase", 129.00)
: (window.luriaQueue = window.luriaQueue || []).push(["convert", "purchase", 129.00]);
</script>
```

The full list of goals and values is in [JavaScript events](/reference/javascript-events). If you also auto-detect via the URL, don't worry about double counting: Luria deduplicates a manual `purchase` call and an auto-detected one on the same page view.

**Warning:**
  If a visitor reloads the thank-you page, the script runs again. Luria deduplicates repeated purchase events from the same visitor within a short window, so you won't see phantom orders.  If you want to be strict, pass an order ID as a third argument: `window.luria.convert("purchase", 129.00, { orderId: "cs_123" })`.

## Option 3: Connect Stripe for server-side confirmation (optional)
Browser-side counting misses a few purchases: the visitor closes the tab before the thank-you page loads, an ad blocker eats the script, a payment completes asynchronously. If you want Luria's purchase count to match Stripe's to the order, connect Stripe and let Luria confirm purchases from Stripe's webhooks.

### Step 1: Connect in the dashboard
Dashboard > Connect > Stripe > **Connect Stripe**, then sign in and authorize read access.  Luria asks for permission to read payment events only; it cannot create charges, issue refunds, or see full card numbers.

### Step 2: Pass the Luria visitor ID to Stripe
Luria needs to link a Stripe payment back to the visitor who saw a variant. When you create the Checkout Session, add the Luria visitor ID as metadata. Read it from `window.luria.visitorId` on the page and send it to your server with the checkout request.

```js
// server side, when creating the Checkout Session
metadata: { luria_visitor: req.body.luriaVisitorId }
```

### Step 3: Verify with a test payment
Make a test-mode purchase. It should appear in Luria's conversion log within a minute, marked as confirmed by Stripe.

With Stripe connected, refunds are also reflected: a fully refunded order is removed from Luria's attributed count.

## Which option should I use?
| Situation                                                     | Use                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Landing page builder, no developer                            | Option 1                                               |
| You can edit the thank-you page                               | Option 2 (Option 1 as a fallback)                      |
| You want counts that match Stripe exactly, or refunds handled | Option 3, plus Option 2 for instant dashboard feedback |

## Good to know
* Subscriptions: count the first payment as the purchase. Renewals happen without a page view, so Luria only sees them via the Stripe connection.
* Currency is your store's currency as set in the Luria dashboard. Pass amounts as plain numbers, no symbols.
* Luria never touches your Stripe account settings, webhooks you already have, or your payment flow. If you disconnect, purchases keep counting through Options 1 and 2.
