How to track revenue?

[alexblack]

I'm looking to track revenue to Amplitude, so that it shows up in reports of type Revenue LTV. I read here: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003116888-Track-revenue

Do we simply need to specify these properties in logEvent? like this:

amplitude.logEvent({ 
  user_id,
  revenue: 100,
});

When I do this I do see the $revenue property on the event in amplitude, but i see $0 revenue in the Revenue LTV report

Hi @alexblack, The event_types is required in the logEvent. And the event_type for revenue is ``. Can you try

amplitude.logEvent({ 
 event_type:  "revenue_amount"
  user_id,
  revenue: 100,
});

Thanks for the response. It turns out it was working fine, I just had the wrong expectations about how/when it'd show up in Amplitude.

(I was setting event_type, I had left it out of the code snippet)
