Most journeys span devices. If your attribution treats each browser as a different person, the phone ad that started the journey never gets credit for the desktop purchase.
BrainyMetrics resolves identity from the strongest signal down. Deterministic identifiers (email, phone matched on the last 10 digits, your external id, Stripe and Shopify customer ids) merge records. Same-browser signals and payment links connect visits and orders. Optionally, an anonymous browser whose fingerprint and network match a known person seen recently is linked with lower confidence, never causing merges and always overridden by an email or phone.
