Stripe - Tapjoy

Send events from your Stripe-billed app to Tapjoy

Q: How do I check that Stripe events are reaching Tapjoy?

Open Tapjoy › Reporting › Events. Purchase events appear with their value attached, separately from rewarded engagement.

Q: Will a purchase be counted twice?

No. Browser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.

Q: How long does it take to connect Stripe to Tapjoy?

Most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Once Stripe events reach Upstack, every destination receives the same resolved events, Tapjoy included.

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches Tapjoy, with restored click IDs, deduplicated conversions and delivery you can audit.

How it flows

How a Stripe event reaches Tapjoy. Sent from your app, resolved to a person, then forwarded.

01 Capture

Captured from Stripe

For apps that bill through Stripe, send payment and subscription events to Upstack with the Upstack Pixel and JavaScript SDK, resolved to a customer before they reach the tools you spend on.

See the Stripe integration

StripeWhat it sends

subscription_initial_purchaseyou fire it for the first subscription order
subscription_recurring_purchaseon invoice.paid for an existing subscription
payment_succeededmaps to invoice.paid or charge.succeeded
payment_refundedmaps to charge.refunded
amount / currencyamount in cents, with invoiceId and subscriptionId

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every Stripe 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

Resolved 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.
DeduplicationBrowser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.
Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never reaches the model, because what you keep out of the training set matters as much as what goes in.

Ad platforms accept almost anything and tell you very little. These controls exist so you can see what was sent and what was accepted, rather than inferring it from a reporting gap.

03 Activate

Delivered to Tapjoy

Forward resolved purchase events to Tapjoy so rewarded placements optimize toward buyers rather than toward engagement.

See the Tapjoy integration

TapjoyWhat it receives

hashed email / phonematch the buyer to the rewarded user
idfa / gaidthe mobile advertising identifier, where consented
event_iddedupe against SDK-reported events
value / currencyoptimize on revenue, not engagement
app_idwhich app the exposure happened in

The catch

A retried payment produces several Stripe objects for one purchase.

Forwarding each as a conversion inflates reported performance by the retry rate, which is highest on exactly the campaigns bringing in the least reliable payment methods. Fire the Upstack event when Stripe reports the payment succeeded (invoice.paid or charge.succeeded), so only the settled payment becomes a conversion.

What changes

What changes when Stripe feeds Tapjoy. Two gains on the Tapjoy side, two on the Stripe side.

Tapjoy

Server-side delivery

Events reach Tapjoy through its server API rather than the browser, so ad blockers and ITP don’t cost you conversions.

Tapjoy

Identity-resolved events

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

Stripe

Subscription purchases as events

Fire subscription_initial_purchase for the first order and subscription_recurring_purchase each time a renewal is paid, so first orders and renewals are reported separately.

Stripe

Payments and refunds

payment_succeeded, payment_failed and payment_refunded each map to a Stripe event (invoice.paid or charge.succeeded, invoice.payment_failed, charge.refunded), so money events reach Upstack when your app fires them.

Setup

Live in under 20 minutes.

Connect Stripe once and every destination, Tapjoy included, is forwarded the same resolved events.

01

Install the Upstack Pixel and SDK

Add the Upstack Pixel to your app, then fire the subscription and payment events with the JavaScript SDK when Stripe reports them, such as subscription_recurring_purchase when invoice.paid fires for an existing subscription.

Add the Tapjoy destination

Under Destinations, add Tapjoy. Every resolved Stripe event is then forwarded to it.
03

Check delivery to Tapjoy

Every conversion is inspectable from the moment it fires to the moment the platform confirms it.
