Mailgun in Polar: the revenue it really drove, counted once.
Mailgun attributes an order to itself whenever it can, so its revenue overlaps with what ads, organic and SMS also claim. Add it up and you have more revenue than you made. Polar re-attributes campaigns and flows against your real orders, so the channel's actual share shows, next to every other one.

1
Ask for the connector ~ minutes
Plain language, no code.
Tell Polar's AI Data Engineer what you want from Mailgun in plain language. It reads the source documentation, lays out everything the API offers by category, then writes the connector and pipes the data into your warehouse as governed data. No code, and it ships in minutes.
Worth knowing: this also works on connectors you already have. If the Mailgun API exposes a field, you can have it, down to a single hidden one the standard connector never pulled.
2
Re-attributed, not re-claimed automatic
Counted once.
Polar matches Mailgun sends and clicks to your Shopify orders and re-attributes the revenue on its own model, so the channel is not credited with orders that paid social and organic also claim.
3
Read against margin the payoff
Engagement, priced.
Campaigns and flows sit next to AOV, discount cost and contribution margin, so a campaign that drove revenue on a heavy discount is visible as what it was.
Side by side
Mailgun claims the order. Polar decides whether it earned it.
Mailgun attributes an order to itself whenever it touched the customer, so its revenue overlaps with what paid and organic also claim. Add every platform up and you have more revenue than you made. Polar re-attributes against real orders, once.
