Campaign Monitor in Polar: email revenue that's actually real.
Campaigns, journeys, subscriber growth, opens, clicks and attributed revenue, pulled from Campaign Monitor into Polar and stitched to real Shopify orders. See email next to paid and organic on one blended P&L, with Polar's own first-party pixel re-attributing the revenue instead of trusting last-click, which over-credits itself.

Side by side
Campaign Monitor counts its own conversions. Polar counts them once.
Campaign Monitor attributes an order to itself whenever it can, so its revenue overlaps with what ads and organic also claim. Polar re-attributes campaigns and flows against your real orders, so the channel's actual share of revenue shows.

The Gap
Campaign Monitor data in. Attributed truth out.
Campaign Monitor pours campaigns, journeys, subscriber growth and list revenue into Polar. Polar re-attributes that revenue with its own first-party pixel, de-duplicates it against paid and organic, and blends it into your P&L, so email stops double-counting orders other channels also claim.
