This is a **NEW** Explore introduced in May 2025.
:::

# Introduction

Since a customer can purchase from a brand more than once, it follows that brands will want to analyze different purchase paths than rolling them all up to the first order’s attribution. Instead of centering analysis at the user-level, this new Explore is centered around orders, or when a customer makes a purchase.

On Chord, we identify the session when a customer makes their first purchase and then we repeat the attribution exercise with every following session as part of Order Attribution. Thus, we apply a brand’s chosen specific attribution methodology based on orders. **Essentially, order attribution allows brands to analyze sessions and revenue for all purchase data.** It’s useful for understanding both marketing attribution and connecting sessions to specific orders.

You can use Chord’s Order Attribution Explore when:

- You want to measure the performance of marketing efforts tied to multiple purchases.
- You're evaluating campaign ROI, revenue by channel, or purchase funnel effectiveness.
- You're reporting on conversion events, like how many orders were driven by a campaign.
