Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tie the same product that was previously called Revenue Roll?

Yes. Revenue Roll was rebranded as Tie, and the company describes the change as a product evolution rather than a separate replacement product. Existing accounts, data, pricing, integrations, and support were carried forward, while the platform expanded beyond its earlier abandoned-cart and attribution focus into broader identity resolution, enrichment, shopper intelligence, and deliverability workflows.

How does Tie identify anonymous ecommerce visitors without relying only on cookies?

Tie says it combines server-side tracking with its identity graph and AI-assisted matching across identifiers such as IP address, email, cookies, and device IDs. Its current documentation also says the core identity system is primarily deterministic, with confidence scoring layered on top. Tie positions this approach for recognizing US consumer traffic across devices and sessions when ordinary browser or platform tracking does not identify the shopper.

Can Tie add identified shoppers directly into Klaviyo flows?

Yes. Tie documents a native Klaviyo integration that can create new profiles for identified visitors and add website activity and enrichment data to existing profiles. That data can then be used in Klaviyo segments and flows such as abandoned browse, post-visit nurture, and re-engagement.

How is Tie different from simply sending every identified visitor into an email list?

Tie lets customers filter which shoppers are identified or activated using demographic, behavioral, recency, and confidence criteria rather than treating every possible match the same way. Its current product also adds predictive intent scores so teams can focus campaigns on shoppers Tie predicts are more likely to open, click, or purchase. This is intended to reduce low-quality list growth and unnecessary marketing volume.

How does Tie Predict work with an existing retention marketing stack?

Tie Predict scores identified shoppers each day on purchase, open, and click intent and syncs those scores into supported marketing systems such as Klaviyo. The scores become profile properties that marketers can use in their existing segments and flows rather than requiring a separate sending platform. Tie says the scoring combines first-party engagement and onsite behavior with signals from its identity graph.

What happens if a Tie customer uses its annual credits faster than expected?

Tie lets customers upgrade or renew early, stop using the product while continuing any remaining contractual payments, or continue using credits at published overage rates. The current rates are $0.05 per extra credit on Starter, $0.04 on Growth, and $0.03 on Enterprise, with alerts before overages begin. Unused monthly credits roll forward within the existing contract term.

Can a Tie customer cancel during the published opt-out period?

Tie describes the opt-out period as a paid trial window within an annual contract, not as a free trial. Customers paying monthly can exit the remaining annual term before the applicable opt-out date or before using 25 percent of their annual credits, whichever comes first. Customers who choose annual payment do not receive that opt-out option.

What privacy controls does Tie use before identifying a website visitor?

Tie says its visitor-identification process requires both on-site consent through the customer's consent-management setup and upstream partner consent before identification occurs. Its current FAQ says tracking is blocked if either consent is missing and that each client's data environment is siloed. Tie also says its current identity product is focused on US consumer traffic and is designed around US privacy requirements rather than EU visitor identification.

What happens to customer data that Tie creates or enriches for a client?

Tie states that the client owns the customer data generated for its account and that Tie acts as a processor for that client data. Its FAQ says client data is not pooled across customers and is not sold or shared across client accounts. Tie's Terms separately reserve Tie ownership of Tie-created analytics, audience settings, data-warehouse calculations, tracking code, and related technology, and also permit Client Content to be used for internal model training subject to applicable privacy laws and safeguards.
