BackSDK quickstart

Revenue Guardian

Connect the SDK in minutes and start seeing telemetry flow.

This is a quickstart guide, not a landing page. Follow the steps below in order, copy the code you need, and check the dashboard once the first event lands.

Install

Add the package to your app.

Initialize

Set your API key and host.

Track

Send the first meaningful event.

Verify

Confirm the dashboard is receiving data.

What you need

  • • Your Revenue Guardian API key
  • • One event from your app to validate the setup
1

Install the SDK

Add the package to the app you want to instrument.

Code

npm install @revenueguardian/sdk

If you are integrating from a monorepo, install it in the app workspace that will emit telemetry.

2

Initialize the client

Create the SDK once with your API key and backend host. Keep this near app startup.

Code

import { RevenueGuardian } from "@revenueguardian/sdk";

RevenueGuardian.init({
  apiKey: "pk_live_abc123...",
  apiHost: "https://revenueguardian.vercel.app",
  enableAutoTracking: true,
  enableExitIntent: true,
  enableDeAnonymization: true
});
3

Identify Users & Sync Plans

Crucial for churn prediction! Tell the SDK who the user is, what plan they are on, and their MRR.

Code

RevenueGuardian.identify({
  id: "user_123",
  email: "founder@startup.com",
  name: "John Doe",
  plan: "Pro",
  mrr: 49.99
});

Call this immediately after a user logs in.

4

Track Custom Events & Features

Log when users perform important actions or use specific features.

Code

// Track a generic event
RevenueGuardian.track("user_signup", { source: "organic" });

// Track specific feature usage (great for identifying engagement cliffs)
RevenueGuardian.feature("export_csv", { rowCount: 500 });

When to use: Use .track() for standard business events (e.g. 'invite_sent') and .feature() when they interact with a core product feature. The AI looks for sudden drops in .feature() calls to predict if they are about to churn.

5

Update Revenue & Billing

If a user upgrades or downgrades, update their MRR directly without re-identifying them.

Code

RevenueGuardian.revenue({
  plan: "Growth",
  mrr: 99.99,
  interval: "monthly"
});

When to use: Call this whenever a customer changes their subscription plan mid-session. It instantly updates their MRR inside the Revenue Guardian dashboard without requiring a full page reload or a new .identify() call.

6

Smart Webhook Sync (syncAccount)

Have a messy payload from Stripe or Paddle? Pass it to syncAccount and the SDK will auto-detect the plan and MRR.

Code

// No need to manually map properties—just pass the raw JSON!
RevenueGuardian.syncAccount(stripeWebhookPayload);

How it works: We do not integrate with Stripe's servers. Instead, when YOUR server receives a messy webhook from Stripe or Paddle, simply pass that raw JSON to this function. The SDK acts as a smart parser—it loops through the JSON looking for keys like 'plan', 'tier', or 'MRR' and automatically updates the user's billing data for you.

7

Debugging

Having trouble? Turn on debug mode to see exactly what the SDK is doing in the console.

Code

RevenueGuardian.debug(true);

Deploying to production

When the local flow works, move the same integration to your deployed environment and set the required env vars.

Add NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, and SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY in Vercel.

Push your code, deploy, then open the dashboard to confirm telemetry is arriving.

Production init example

RevenueGuardian.init({
  apiKey: "pk_live_abc123...",
  apiHost: "https://revenueguardian.vercel.app",
  environment: "production",
});
