My revenue total looks wrong
2 min read
If your revenue total looks lower or higher than expected, there are a few places to check before assuming something is broken.
Check confidence scores
Your total may include Approximate entries that are inflating the number, or it may be missing revenue because the total only shows Confirmed + Estimated by default. Toggle the confidence filter in the revenue panel to see all entries including Approximate ones.
Check for missing manual entries
Auto-tracking only covers platforms with revenue APIs. If you received a sponsorship payment, merchandise sale, or Patreon transfer this month, you may need to log it manually. Open Revenue → Add entry to log any income that isn't auto-tracked.
Auto-track API delay
Platform revenue APIs often have longer delays than analytics APIs. YouTube AdSense data, for example, may lag by 3–5 days compared to view counts. If this month's auto-tracked revenue looks lower than expected, wait a few days for the platform to finalize and report it.
Revenue data from platforms is always shown with the date of the last sync. Compare that date against your expectations before assuming data is missing.
Platform payout schedule vs. display schedule
Platforms often show you "earned" revenue before they actually pay it out. Glowr tracks earned revenue as reported by the API — which matches what the platform shows you — not the date funds land in your bank account. If you're comparing to your bank deposits, timing will differ.
To reconcile Glowr with your actual bank deposits, log payout receipts as Confirmed manual entries on the date received. This gives you a verified financial record alongside the platform-reported estimates.
