Set up XPmetric on your site in four steps. You'll need a free XPmetric account.
## 1. Create a site
1. Sign in at [xpmetric.com/login](/login).
2. Open the dashboard and click **Add site**.
3. Enter your domain (e.g. `buildcove.io`).
4. Copy your **site token** from **Settings → Sites → Get Script**.
## 2. Install the tracking script
Paste this snippet inside the `` of every page so it loads before your content:
Pick the guide for your stack:
- [Next.js](/docs/install/nextjs)
- [WordPress](/docs/install/wordpress)
- [Shopify](/docs/install/shopify)
- [Plain HTML](/docs/install/html)
- [Google Tag Manager](/docs/install/gtm)
- [Astro](/docs/install/astro)
- [Webflow](/docs/install/webflow)
- [Framer](/docs/install/framer)
After saving, visit your site and check the dashboard — the live feed should show a pageview within a minute.
## 3. Link revenue to traffic (optional)
Connect Stripe or Polar in **Settings → Integrations**, then pass XPmetric visitor IDs into checkout metadata:
- [Stripe Checkout attribution](/docs/revenue/stripe-checkout)
- [Polar attribution](/docs/revenue/polar)
- [Generic Payments API](/docs/revenue/payments-api)
`p.js` exposes `window.xpmetric.v` (visitor hash) and `window.xpmetric.s` (session id) for attribution.
## 4. Track conversions (optional)
Fire custom events when users sign up, subscribe, or complete key actions:
```js
window.xpmetric('signup')
```
Promote events to [conversion goals](/docs/custom-goals) or build [multi-step funnels](/docs/conversion-funnels) in the dashboard.
