Kahana analytics shows activity and demand signals. views, access, Aura, purchasers, so you can tell discovery from conversion. Dollar detail lives in the Stripe Dashboard, not as a full P&L inside Kahana.

Primary action: Open /analytics, then drill into a hub’s Analytics.

What Kahana analytics is for

Product and discovery performance: are people finding the hub, and (if you monetize) converting? Use Stripe for revenue and payout detail.

Where to look

LevelWhere
AccountSidebar Analytics → /analytics
HubHub settings → Analytics
CardsLibrary / profile: views, saves, Aura as shown

Account summary

Totals such as views, hubs / members / files, purchasers (if monetized), and Aura earned. then open a hub row to go deeper.

Hub metrics

MetricTells youIf it’s weak…
ViewsDiscovery + opensTitle, cover, category; share profile / Library; earn Aura. Listing: List on Library
MembersPeople with access (collab / grants / free public)Not the same as purchasers
PurchasersPaid conversionsPrice, trial, storefront / paywall copy. Turn on paid access
FilesCatalog completenessAdd / organize what buyers expect
AuraCommunity “worth noticing”Engage Library; you can’t self-Aura. How Aura works
SavesWishlist interestSocial proof; not a purchase

Diagnosis in one line: low views → discovery problem. High views, low purchasers → conversion / offer problem. Dollars and payouts → Stripe.

Use previews before you overreact

  • Library preview vs live Library card
  • Paywall / Storefront preview vs logged-out hub
  • Profile stack (how your public hubs look together)

Fix what visitors actually see before chasing a metric.

Weekly habit (optional)

  • Check views + Aura on listed hubs.
  • If monetized: views → purchasers funnel.
  • One copy or cover tweak; re-check next week.

Quick facts

  • Routes: /analytics + hub Analytics panel.
  • Dollars: Stripe, not a Kahana P&L view.
  • Depth: useful surface for creators. not enterprise BI.
  • Aura / saves: marketplace signals, not payment.
