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
| Level | Where |
|---|---|
| Account | Sidebar Analytics → /analytics |
| Hub | Hub settings → Analytics |
| Cards | Explore / 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
| Metric | Tells you | If it’s weak… |
|---|---|---|
| Views | Discovery + opens | Title, cover, category; share profile / Explore; earn Aura. Listing: List on Explore |
| Members | People with access (collab / grants / free public) | Not the same as purchasers |
| Purchasers | Paid conversions | Price, trial, storefront / paywall copy. Turn on paid access |
| Files | Catalog completeness | Add / organize what buyers expect |
| Aura | Community “worth noticing” | Engage Explore; you can’t self-Aura. How Aura works |
| Saves | Wishlist interest | Social 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
- Explore preview vs live Explore 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

Buying & access
Unlock a paid Kahana hub: find it, complete Stripe checkout, reopen it later, and understand one-time vs monthly—plus adult gates and why Aura isn’t payment.
Collaborators & roles
Invite people into a Kahana hub, choose OWNER · ADMIN · WRITE · COMMENT · READ, and accept an invite—without confusing collaborators with paywall buyers.
