Product Guides
Practical walkthroughs to help you get value from Follow The Spend in your first week.
These guides are organized by what you're trying to accomplish, not by feature. Pick the question that matches where you are.
Getting started — your first 24 hours
The most important window. If you understand what you're seeing in your first day, the rest is easy.
- What you'll see in your first hour of data
- How to verify tracking is working correctly
- Why your data feels thin on day one
Reading the data correctly
The "wait, this doesn't match X" moment kills trust. These guides explain why your numbers won't line up with Shopify and where express-checkout flows leave gaps — both by design.
Making decisions
Once the data makes sense, here's how to turn it into action.
More guides coming soon. If there's a question you're stuck on that isn't covered here, email hello@followthespend.com — we use the questions we hear to prioritize what to write next.
