Can you trust the numbers in ThriveCart?
ThriveCart is a checkout and selling platform for selling digital and physical products, courses, memberships and subscriptions. Its own help pages give 4 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: Checkout view counts can run higher than the number of people, because, as ThriveCart's help pages say, each refresh counts as another view.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how ThriveCart counts it. Below is what ThriveCart keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.
What does ThriveCart keep track of?
ThriveCart keeps counts of total and new subscribers over time.
In ThriveCart's own words:

How does ThriveCart work with Feder?
Connect ThriveCart to Feder and it joins your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in ThriveCart.
When you connect ThriveCart, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Questions owners ask about ThriveCart
- Why did my ThriveCart net revenue drop?Refunds land in the period you process them, so refunds of earlier sales can pull a quiet period's net revenue down.
- Why did my ThriveCart rebill revenue drop?Paused subscriptions are not billed until they resume, so rebills can dip while several customers are paused.
- Why is a ThriveCart sale missing from my numbers?Test orders are kept apart from live orders, so a test purchase does not show among live sales.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
