Piwik to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How do I connect Piwik PRO to Looker Studio with Catchr?

Connect Piwik PRO to Catchr using your account domain, Client ID, and Client Secret. Open the Catchr Piwik connector in Looker Studio, authorize Google, and select the site or app available through the connection. Start with sessions, visitors, and page performance before adding campaign or ecommerce analysis.

Is this Piwik connector the same as the Matomo connector?

No. This Catchr source connects to Piwik PRO using its account domain and client credentials. Matomo is a separate product, although the names share a history. If your data is in Matomo, use the Matomo connector and its connection settings instead.

Which Piwik PRO metrics can I use in my dashboard?

Catchr exposes sessions, visitors, bounces, custom events, goal revenue, ecommerce orders and revenue, cart activity, and campaign dimensions. Consent-related fields are also available where collected. Choose metrics that match your tracking setup and the level of detail of your chart; fields being listed does not mean every site has populated them.

Why can’t I combine every Piwik PRO dimension and metric?

Piwik PRO distinguishes data scopes such as sessions and events. Some field combinations conflict because they describe different levels of activity. Start with a valid combination for the report you need, then add dimensions gradually. Separate incompatible analyses into different charts instead of forcing them into one table or treating an error as missing traffic.

How do I report on Piwik PRO data by month?

Use a date dimension grouped by year and month, and check that the chart’s date range covers the months you want to compare. Avoid grouping by month name alone across several years. For visitors, request the count at the intended period rather than adding daily distinct counts, which can count returning people several times.

Why is Piwik PRO page bounce rate different from site bounce rate?

The site-level bounce rate uses bounces divided by sessions, while the page-level bounce-rate field uses bounces divided by entries for that page. A page can be visited within an ongoing session without being the entry page. Select the rate appropriate to your chart and avoid averaging page percentages to obtain a site-wide rate.

Can I compare Piwik PRO conversions with paid campaign costs?

Yes. Add Google Ads to compare costs with tracked goals or ecommerce outcomes. Keep campaign tagging consistent and align date ranges, currencies, and the chosen revenue field before blending. Differences in attribution and tracking mean that Piwik PRO outcomes need not equal advertising-platform conversion totals.
