Lasso Commerce PostHog

Send every Lasso Commerce event to PostHog, server-side

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches PostHog, so records and reporting reflect the person, not the device.

How it flows

How a Lasso Commerce event reaches PostHog. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.

01 Capture

Captured from Lasso Commerce

Capture Lasso Commerce checkouts and upsells server-side, so orders that never touch a storefront page are still resolved and forwarded.

  • order_idLasso checkout order reference
  • email / phonecontact captured at checkout
  • line_itemsproducts and quantities on the order
  • total / discountorder economics after adjustments
  • landing_domainthe site the shopper started on, before the checkout hop

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every Lasso Commerce event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

How resolution works
Upstack DataResolved before it is sent
  • IdentityMatched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer.
  • customer_typeNew or returning, resolved before send.
  • DeduplicationOne person, one record, across devices and identifiers.
  • Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never becomes a contact.

A CRM is only as trustworthy as its worst duplicate. These controls exist so the record reflects the person.

03 Activate

Which events reach PostHog

Each Upstack event is mapped to the PostHog event below before it is sent.

Upstack eventSent to PostHog as
Page view$pageview
Product viewview_item

Checkoutinitiate_checkout
Purchasepurchase

Each event carries Upstack’s resolved distinct_id, which persists across sessions, plus email when the visitor is identified, IP address, user agent and device details.

The catch

The landing domain and the checkout domain produce two different session records for one customer.

A CRM loading both without resolution ends up with duplicate contacts that never merge.

What changes

What changes when Lasso Commerce feeds PostHog. Two gains on the PostHog side, two on the Lasso Commerce side.

PostHog

Server-side delivery

Upstack always sends events to PostHog from its servers as well as through the PostHog snippet, so an event an ad blocker or browser privacy setting stops in the browser still arrives from the server.

PostHog

Identity-resolved events

Events sent to PostHog carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.

Lasso Commerce

Storefront and checkout events are captured from Lasso Commerce on the server, independent of the browser.

FAQ

Questions about Lasso Commerce and PostHog.

How does Upstack identify users in PostHog?

Upstack assigns each visitor a consistent distinct_id that persists across sessions, devices and browsers when it can resolve the visitor’s identity. Anonymous visitors get a temporary ID that Upstack tries to merge once the visitor is identified.

Will I see duplicate events if I also have PostHog installed via another method?

Possibly. If PostHog’s JavaScript snippet or another integration sends the same events, you may see duplicates, so disable overlapping event types in either Upstack or the other integration.

Which events does PostHog receive?

PageView as $pageview, ViewContent as view_item, AddToCart as add_to_cart, InitiateCheckout as initiate_checkout and Purchase as purchase.

Which customer parameters are sent to PostHog?

Each event carries Upstack’s resolved distinct_id, which persists across sessions, plus email when the visitor is identified, IP address, user agent and device details.

Visit your store, view a product or add to cart, and confirm the event appears in PostHog under Activity, Live Events.
