PayRequest Page Visitor Analytics

The Analytics tab on your PayRequest Page shows how many people visited your page each day, so you can see whether traffic from a social post, README badge, or QR code actually reached your page.
Visitor analytics is a Premium plan feature (and included in Business too). Free plan accounts see the chart blurred with an Upgrade to Premium button — see PayRequest Plans for details.

​
What It Shows

  • Daily visitor chart — a line chart of unique visitors for the last 16 days
  • Total visitors — the sum across that window, shown above the chart
  • Per-day tooltip — hover any point on the chart to see the exact date and visitor count

​
How Visits Are Counted

  • Each visitor is counted once per day per PayRequest Page, even if they reload the page or come back multiple times that day
  • Visits are identified using a hashed combination of IP address and browser — PayRequest never stores your visitors’ raw IP addresses
  • You don’t count as a visitor when you view your own PayRequest Page while logged into your dashboard, so your own testing/previewing doesn’t inflate the numbers
  • Automated bots and crawlers are filtered out of the count
Because counting is per-day, refreshing your own page 10 times in a browser where you’re signed in won’t add 10 visitors — and a real visitor who checks your page twice in one day still only counts once.

​
Accessing Visitor Analytics

1

Open your PayRequest Page

Go to PayRequest Page from the main menu.
2

Click the Analytics tab

It sits between Overview and Styling.
3

Review your visitor trend

The chart shows the last 16 days. Hover any point for the exact count on that day.

​
Free Plan Accounts

If you’re on the Free plan, the Analytics tab is still visible — the chart is shown blurred behind an Upgrade to Premium button so you know the feature exists and what upgrading unlocks. Visitor data is still being collected in the background, so once you upgrade your existing history is already there.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

Only visits to your actual public PayRequest Page count. Visits to a Smart Link, a direct invoice link, or your dashboard don’t count toward PayRequest Page visitor numbers.
No. PayRequest only stores a one-way hash used to deduplicate the same visitor within the same day — never raw IP addresses or any personally identifying information.
Not currently — the chart is fixed to the most recent 16 days.
Yes. Visitor analytics is available on Premium and Business — Free is the only tier without access.
