+title: Analytics
+description: Explore events, session replays, and SQL queries in your project's analytics dataset
+icon: ChartLine
+---
+
+The Analytics app gives you direct access to your project's analytics dataset in Stack Auth. You can inspect raw event tables, run ClickHouse SQL queries, and watch session replays to debug real user behavior.
+
+## Overview
+
+Analytics is organized into three areas in the dashboard:
+
+- **Tables**: Browse event rows with sorting, search, and incremental loading
+- **Queries**: Run and save reusable ClickHouse SQL queries
+- **Replays**: Watch session replays and filter by user, team, duration, activity window, and click count
+
+## How Analytics Works
+
+Stack records analytics events and replay chunks, then exposes them through the Analytics app for read-only querying and investigation.
+
+<Mermaid chart={`

+    A[User activity in your app] --> B[Stack event ingestion]
+    B --> C[ClickHouse data]
+    C --> D[Tables view]
+    C --> E[SQL query runner]
+    C --> F[Session replay UI]
+`} />
+
+### What Gets Tracked
+
+Stack collects both client-side and server-side analytics events:
+
+- **Client-side events**: browser interaction events like `$page-view` and `$click`
+- **Server-side events**: currently `$token-refresh` and `$sign-up-rule-trigger`
+
+## Enabling the Analytics App
+
+To use analytics in your project:
+
+1. Open your Stack Auth dashboard
+2. Go to **Apps**
+3. Open **Analytics**
+4. Click **Enable**
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Enable Analytics in your Stack Auth dashboard (**Apps → Analytics**)
+2. Initialize Stack Auth on your frontend with `StackClientApp`/`StackProvider`
+3. Sign in with a real user session
+4. Open the app and navigate/click around
+5. Check **Analytics → Tables** to confirm events are arriving
+
+After setup, Stack automatically captures client-side `$page-view` and `$click` events.
+
+If you want replay recordings, also enable `analytics.replays.enabled` in your client app config.
+
+## Tables
+
+The **Tables** screen is the fastest way to inspect recent analytics records.
+
+- Currently shows the `events` table
+- Built-in ordering and client-side search
+- Relative/absolute timestamp display toggle
+- Row detail dialog for inspecting full JSON payloads
+
+Use this view when you need to quickly answer "what just happened?" without writing SQL.
+
+## Queries
+
+The **Queries** screen is a ClickHouse SQL workspace for deeper analysis.
+
+- Run read-only SQL queries with a timeout budget
+- Query the users and analytics tables
+- Save reusable queries into folders
+- Re-run saved queries with one click
+- Edit and overwrite saved query definitions
+
+## Session Replays
+
+The **Replays** screen helps you move from "an event happened" to "what the user actually saw."
+
+- Filter sessions by user, team, duration, recency, and click count
+- Play back multi-tab sessions
+- Control playback speed
+- Optionally skip inactive ranges
+- Jump across click/page-view timeline markers
+
+Use replays when metrics alone are not enough to explain user behavior.
+
+### Enabling Replay Recording in the SDK
+
+Session replay recording is disabled by default. To enable it, pass `analytics.replays.enabled: true` when creating your client app.
+
+```ts
+import { StackClientApp } from "@stackframe/stack";
+
+export const stackClientApp = new StackClientApp({
+  projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PROJECT_ID!,
+  publishableClientKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PUBLISHABLE_CLIENT_KEY!,
+  tokenStore: "nextjs-cookie",
+  analytics: {
+    replays: {
+      enabled: true,
+      // Optional. Defaults to true.
+      maskAllInputs: true,
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+`maskAllInputs` defaults to `true`, so form fields are masked unless you explicitly disable it.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Tables for quick incident triage**: the Tables UI is the fastest way to inspect recent `events` rows without writing SQL.
+2. **Use Queries for repeatable analysis**: save important SQL in folders, and scope queries with filters/`LIMIT` so they stay within result and timeout limits.
+3. **Use Replays for behavioral debugging**: start from an event pattern, then inspect matching session replays to understand what users actually did.
+4. **Keep replay privacy defaults on**: leave `maskAllInputs` enabled unless you have a specific reason and a data-handling policy for unmasked inputs.

 - **Track Products**: List products owned by users or teams
 - **View Transactions**: Monitor all payment activity in the dashboard
 
+## Quick Setup
+
+1. Enable the Payments app in your dashboard
+2. Connect Stripe in **Payments → Settings**
+3. Create a product line in **Payments → Product Lines**
+4. Create products and attach items in **Payments → Products & Items**
+5. Generate a checkout URL in your app with `createCheckoutUrl(...)`
+6. Turn on test mode in **Payments → Settings** and run test purchases
+7. Verify results in **Payments → Transactions** and **Payments → Customers**
+
+## How Payments Works
+
+At a high level, Payments combines your product catalog (what can be bought) with customer item balances (what each user/team currently has).
+
+<Mermaid chart={`
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant App as Your App
+    participant Stack as Stack Auth
+    participant Stripe as Stripe Checkout
+    participant DB as Item Balance
+
+    App->>Stack: createCheckoutUrl(customer, product)
+    Stack-->>App: checkout URL
+    App->>Stripe: redirect user to checkout
+    Stripe-->>Stack: payment/subscription success
+    Stack->>DB: grant product items
+    Stack-->>App: updated customer products/items
+`} />
+
+### Core Concepts
+
+- **Product**: A sellable offer (one-time or subscription)
+- **Product line**: A mutually exclusive set of products. A customer can only have one active product from the same product line at a time.
+- **Item**: A quantifiable entitlement (credits, seats, API calls, etc.)
+- **Customer**: The owner of purchases and item balances (`user`, `team`, or `custom`)
+- **Transaction**: A successful or failed billing event recorded in the dashboard
+
+### Typical Purchase Flow
+
+1. Define product lines, products, and attached items in **Payments → Product Lines** and **Payments → Products & Items**
+2. Create a checkout URL from your app for a specific customer
+3. User completes payment in Stripe Checkout
+4. Stack updates product ownership and item balances automatically
+5. Your app reads updated balances through `useItem()`, `getItem()`, or `listProducts()`
