What it does

Triple Whale is a marketing analytics and attribution platform built for direct-to-consumer ecommerce brands, centralizing ad spend, store revenue, and customer data in one dashboard. It connects to Shopify and major ad channels, then uses first-party pixel data and modeled attribution to show which campaigns, creatives, and channels actually drive profitable orders. Brands track blended ROAS, new-customer acquisition cost, contribution margin, and cohort lifetime value in real time, replacing scattered spreadsheets. It adds creative analytics, a server-side pixel for signal recovery, and AI assistants that summarize performance, so lean DTC teams can make daily spend decisions from a single source of truth.

Where it fits

Sits at the cross-channel attribution and profitability layer of a DTC ecommerce marketing stack.

Core features

Best for

Beginner notes

  3. Reconcile dashboard numbers against Shopify periodically so the team trusts the data
