Attribute revenue with Ghost

Make sure you've added DataFast tracking to your Ghost site and connected your Stripe account first.

1. Access Ghost Code Injection

Log in to your Ghost admin dashboard
Go to Settings > Code Injection
This is where you'll add the tracking code

2. Add the DataFast tracking code

Paste this JavaScript code in the Site Header section:

<script>
// Track successful member signups and payments
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // Check if this is a successful signup/payment page
  if (window.location.href.includes('success') || 
      window.location.href.includes('welcome') ||
      document.querySelector('[data-members-success]') ||
      document.querySelector('.gh-portal-success')) {
    
    // Try to get member email from various sources
    const memberEmail = document.querySelector('[data-member-email]')?.textContent ||
                       document.querySelector('.member-email')?.textContent ||
                       localStorage.getItem('ghost_member_email');
    
    if (memberEmail && typeof window.datafast === "function") {
      window.datafast("payment", { email: memberEmail });
    }
  }
  
  // Store member email when they sign up for future tracking
  const memberForms = document.querySelectorAll('[data-members-form]');
  memberForms.forEach(form => {
    form.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
      const emailInput = form.querySelector('input[type="email"]');
      if (emailInput && emailInput.value) {
        localStorage.setItem('ghost_member_email', emailInput.value);
      }
    });
  });
});
</script>

3. Save the settings

Click Save to apply the code injection.

Alternative: Use Zapier (No-code option)

For non-technical users, you can use Zapier to connect Ghost and DataFast:

Create a Zapier account
Set up a "Ghost Member Created" trigger
Connect it to DataFast's Payment API action
Map the member email to track revenue attribution

This requires no coding and automatically tracks new member signups.

After a successful membership signup, you should see revenue data in your DataFast dashboard. If you don't see attribution data, contact us at marc@datafa.st.
