Configuring Segment to track sale events when a user purchases your product or service.

If you’ve already set up the Dub (Actions) destination, you can skip the first two steps and jump straight to the Add Mapping section.

Step 1: Add Dub (Actions) destination

Head to Segment Dub (Actions) and add the destination to your Segment workspace.

Step 2: Configure Dub API Key

In the Dub (Actions) destination settings, fill out the following fields:

  • Name: Enter a name to help you identify this destination in Segment.
  • API Key: Enter your Dub API key. You can find this in the Dub Dashboard.
  • Enable Destination: Toggle this on to allow Segment to send data to Dub.

Once completed, click Save Changes.

Step 3: Add Mapping

Next, you’ll choose the Track a sale action from the list of available actions.

By default, this action is configured to send sale data to Dub when the Event Name is Order Completed.

Below the selected action, you’ll see the mapping for that action.

You can customize the trigger and mapping to fit the specific needs of your application.

Finally, click Next and then Save and enable to add the mapping to the destination.

Step 4: Send sale events to Dub

On the server side, you’ll use the @segment/analytics-node SDK to send sale events to Segment.

Make sure to include relevant properties such as userId, payment_processor, order_id, currency, and revenue in the payload.

javascript
import { Analytics } from "@segment/analytics-node";

const segment = new Analytics({
  writeKey: "<YOUR_SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY>",
});

segment.track({
  userId: id,
  event: "Order Completed",
  properties: {
    payment_processor: "stripe",
    order_id: "ORD_123",
    currency: "USD",
    revenue: 1000,
  },
  integrations: {
    All: true,
  },
});

Once the event is tracked, Segment will forward the sale data to Dub based on the mappings you’ve configured.
