Currently, Stiddle offers integration connectors for Shopify (Sales Connector), Facebook Ads (Ad Connector), and Google Ads (Ad Connector). New integration connectors are released on a rolling basis, usually every two weeks.

Does Stiddle only work with Shopify? Are there other sales channels that I can use? Can I use the Stiddle Pixel with any website?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle currently connects only with Shopify as a Sales Connector, but we are constantly releasing new sales connectors on a rolling basis - usually every 2 weeks. These may include other ecommerce store integrations, payment providers, form software, and online calendar schedulers. For example, if you use WooCommerce instead of Shopify, you can request a custom connector, which is included free of charge for annual plans.

The Stiddle Pixel can technically be used on any website, including your WooCommerce site. However, using the Stiddle pixel on a website that does not have a sales integration with Stiddle may limit the amount of data we can collect for identity resolution and ad attribution. For example, if you use the Stiddle Pixel on your WooCommerce site, we won't be able to know who the person is that made a purchase, and they will remain anonymous in Stiddle Profiles.

We recommend only using the Stiddle pixel with Sales Connectors that Stiddle integrates with natively, such as Shopify at the moment.

You can request a custom sales connector, which is included free of charge for annual plans - just reach out to our support and we'll be happy to help.

What if Stiddle doesn't connect with an Ad or Sales connector integration that I am currently using?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

If Stiddle doesn't currently integrate with an Ad or Sales connector that you are using, you can request a custom connector to be built by Stiddle. Custom connectors are included free of charge for annual plans. However, keep in mind that building a custom connector may take some time (usually around 2 weeks), and it's important to ensure that the data you need to attribute and analyze can be pulled from the integration before we build a custom connector - we'll be able to check for you to make sure that the connector you request can be built and is comparable with our technology.

You can request a custom connector, which is included free of charge for annual plans - just reach out to our support and we'll be happy to help.

Do you offer a free trial or demo?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

We do not offer a free trial due to the setup time required for Stiddle's tracking. However, we offer a 30-day 100% money back guarantee to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your results. We also provide a demo and require you to book a demo with our team to ensure that we are a good fit and can seamlessly integrate with your existing tech stack. Our onboarding calls with our team further ensure that you are set up for success from the moment you sign up for an account.

What is a MUV? Why do you charge based on MUV?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

MUV stands for Monthly Unique Visitors, which refers to the number of unique visitors that a website receives in a month. Each unique visitor is counted as one MUV, including both anonymous and identified visitors. We charge based on MUV because it is a more accurate measure of website traffic and reflects the actual usage of the website. It also allows us to provide tailored pricing based on the specific needs of each customer.

Charging based on MUV allows us to provide scalable pricing that aligns with the growth of your business. As your website traffic increases, your MUV count will increase and so will the pricing, ensuring that we grow as you grow. This pricing model is designed to be flexible and affordable for businesses of all sizes, while providing them with the data and insights they need to make informed decisions about their online presence. It also incentivizes our team to continually improve our services and provide value to our customers, leading to long-term partnerships and mutual success.

What is the main difference between Suite & Agency plans?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Both the Suite and Agency plans include all features and are based on MUV usage for each workspace. However, the main difference between the two is that the Agency plan provides you with the tools you need to manage multiple client accounts under the same Stiddle login by providing you with multiple workspaces.

With the Agency plan, you can create a separate workspace for each client, and each workspace has its own separate billing and is tracked based on MUV. We require each client to have their own workspace, and each workspace includes its own Stiddle Suite plan, so you can keep your clients' data and reporting separate. Additionally, for Agency accounts, we offer a 20% discount for each client workspace you add, making it a cost-effective solution for managing multiple clients.

What is a Stiddle workspace for? Why would I need multiple?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

A Stiddle workspace is a separate place to manage a business or client, allowing you to keep each business or client's data organized and separate under one Stiddle login. With each Stiddle workspace, you can share team access with your team or share access to your clients with unique roles and permissions.

Every workspace is billed separately and is tracked based on MUV, so if you have one business or client with high website traffic, you will be billed less than the others that have less. This allows you to have a clear overview of the website traffic for each business or client, as well as manage their campaigns more efficiently. Therefore, having multiple Stiddle workspaces can be useful for businesses or agencies managing multiple clients or websites.

Do you offer discount pricing for high traffic sites or agencies with many client accounts?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Yes, we offer discounts for both high traffic sites and agencies with many client accounts. For agencies, we provide a 20% discount when you add multiple Stiddle workspaces. Each workspace has its own billing, and is tracked based on MUV usage, making it easy to manage and bill clients separately.

For high traffic sites with more than 100k monthly unique visitors, we offer discounted pricing and scalable options through our Stiddle Enterprise plan - you can get in touch here. Additionally, we offer a 20% discount for any annual plans, giving you flexibility in choosing which workspace you want to be billed annually.

Does Stiddle run my campaigns for me? Can I create new ad campaigns using Stiddle?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle does not give you the ability to create and launch new campaigns using the platform. However, Stiddle does give you the ability to open the native ad platform's ads manager with a single click to make quick edits without having to open several browser tabs.

Stiddle is used as a way to manage all of your existing campaigns, ad sets, and ads that you have created in your native ads manager, like Facebook or Google in a single place. All of the data in Stiddle's Campaign Manager is up to 99% accurate using the Stiddle Pixel Attribution, so you will not have to worry about inaccurate tracking from IOS14 or 3rd party cookies.

Stiddle also gives you the ability to view all of your campaigns from different ad platforms in one Campaign Manager, as well as editing budgets for ad spend and toggling on and off campaigns, ad sets, and ads in a single Campaign Manager table.

How accurate is Stiddle's tracking technology using the Stiddle Pixel Attribution?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle's tracking technology using the Stiddle Pixel Attribution is 99% accurate, achieving 30% to 40% more accurate data compared to native ad platforms such as Facebook or Google. This means that Stiddle can track and attribute purchases made from your ad campaigns with great accuracy. Stiddle's attribution technology also allows you to see the exact customer who made the purchase and which ad they interacted with, giving you more control and transparency over your campaigns. This gives you the confidence you need to ensure your ads are being tracked with the most accuracy.

Here's an example:

Let's say that you're running a Facebook ad campaign and a Google ad campaign for your online store. A customer clicks on your Facebook ad, but doesn't make a purchase right away. Later, they see your Google ad and decide to make a purchase. Without Stiddle's tracking technology, it would be nearly impossible to determine which ad was responsible for the purchase. However, with Stiddle's Pixel Attribution, you'll be able to see that this particular customer was initially driven to your site by your Facebook ad, and then later made a purchase after seeing your Google ad - 90 days later. This level of accuracy and attribution is crucial for optimizing your ad spend and maximizing your return on investment.

You can learn more about Stiddle's Pixel Attribution technology here. And learn about Stiddle's Identity Resolution (Customer Profiling) here.

Does Stiddle replace my existing Customer Data Platform (CDP) or analytics solution?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

At this time Stiddle is not designed to replace your existing CDP or analytics solution, but rather complement it. Stiddle offers Identity Resolution, which allows you to create customer profiles and track their behavior on your website. Stiddle also aggregates data from different sources and attributes it to individual customer profiles. While Stiddle does not currently support pushing data to data warehouses, it provides analytics dashboards and tools to build audiences that scale without the need for third-party BI tools. In summary, Stiddle provides a great alternative for CDPs in some cases, and it can complement your existing analytics solution.

While at the moment Stiddle doesn't offer data destination connectors, we do plan to release data destination integrations with leading providers in data warehousing, such as Snowflake in the future. This will provide you with a great alternative to your existing CDP, allowing you to collect, profile, transform, and push your marketing and sales data to data warehouses such as Snowflake.

If you are looking for a custom solution to push your data to a data warehouse, consider using our API - available with Enterprise plans. Please contact us for more details.

Does Stiddle only work with paid ads or can I use it to track my other organic/influencer campaigns?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle currently only supports tracking for paid ads through Facebook and Google. However, we plan to introduce Stiddle Organic Tracking by August 2023, which will allow users to track organic campaigns such as influencer marketing, email marketing, and social media posts.

Stiddle is always adding new ad connector integrations every two weeks, but if there's a specific one you need that isn't available, you can request a custom ad connector, which will be available at no cost for annual plan users.

Can I add team members to my Stiddle account to share access with a separate login?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Yes, Stiddle allows you to add team members to your account to share access with a separate login. You can create workspaces within your Stiddle account and add team members to each workspace with specific permissions. This allows your team members or clients to access the necessary features and data within Stiddle without giving them full access to your account. Each team member will have their own login to Stiddle.

What security and data measures does Stiddle take to keep my data safe?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle takes data security very seriously, and we are fully GDPR and CCPA compliant to ensure the safety of your data. We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, such as encryption, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication. We also regularly monitor our systems for potential security threats and conduct periodic security audits to ensure that our security measures are up-to-date and effective. You can trust that your data is in safe hands with Stiddle.

What happens to my data, tracking, and ad campaigns if I cancel my Stiddle subscription?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

When you cancel your Stiddle subscription, you will lose access to your workspace and any data collected through Stiddle's pixel attribution, including identity resolution profile data. However, data from other integrated data connectors will remain stored with the connector. Your ad campaigns and sales data in your ad or sales connectors will not be affected. It's important to note that any ad tracking set up with Stiddle will stop tracking and attributing sales, and team members added to the workspace will also lose access.

Does Stiddle store my data? What does Stiddle do with the data  I connect to it?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

Stiddle does not store your ad connector data, which is synced live with Stiddle and remains stored with the connector. However, Stiddle does store your Identity Resolution and profiling data, which may include visitor and customer names, activity timelines, and attribution data from the Stiddle pixel, such as event conversions, IP addresses, and geolocations. Stiddle complies with GDPR and CCPA regulations, and your data is kept secure and confidential.

What is Stiddle's uptime? Is there every a case where I won't be able to access my account?
FAQ Arrow Stiddle

This means that the platform is available to users with only occasional and brief interruptions for maintenance and updates.
