Transactions metric represents the total number of successful payments processed through Stripe, including charges, refunds, and payouts, measured over a specific time period.
With Databox you can track all your metrics from various data sources in one place.
Transactions represent the total number of successful payment or purchase activities that took place within a specific platform that the business uses.
It encompasses all completed transactions and captures essential details such as the transaction amount, currency, payment method utilized, and transaction status.
By tracking transactions, businesses can get granular insights into their revenue generation, customer behavior, and payment processes.
To calculate the transactions metric, you need to simply count the number of successful transactions within the defined time period you’re interested in.
The formula is straightforward:
Transactions = Total number of successful payment or purchase activities
Let’s say an ecommerce website processed thousands of orders during a particular month, but wants to get an exact figure.
They saw these numbers:

After adding up all the successful transactions for the month of June, the website can get the total count of transactions for that period.
Although, it’s unlikely that any business will have to manually calculate this metric since these figures can usually be found within the software that you use to process the transactions
