Use case
upTake for Chrome extension makers
The Chrome Web Store dashboard counts installs and little else. Where those people came from is mostly a blank.
If you have a landing page, the answer is there: every visitor arrives from somewhere, and clicks your install button or does not.
Most extension makers promote in the same few places: a Show HN, a Reddit thread, a short demo on X. Knowing which one sent people who clicked install decides where your next hour goes.
What upTake measures for you
- Visits to your site from each post, through a tagged link.
- Clicks on your Add to Chrome button, reported by your page as a download.
- Payments from Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Gumroad, matched to the visit behind them when the buyer pays on your site.
- A weekly report with what to post next.
What it does not measure
- Installs and uninstalls: upTake does not read the Chrome Web Store.
- What people do inside the extension.
See the workflow before adding your site
Use a tracked link to measure the web visit before a store hand-off. A visit is not an install: matching a later signup or purchase depends on the identifiers and data your integration supplies.

What a week can look like Example
| Post | Visits | Add to Chrome clicks | Paying customers | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Show HN | 2,100 | 630 | 7 | $63 |
| Reddit post with a demo GIF | 880 | 317 | 9 | $81 |
| X thread | 240 | 52 | 0 | $0 |
Show HN sent the most visitors. The Reddit post sent fewer, and more of them paid.
