Grin integration

Grin in Polar: affiliate and creator revenue, in blended CAC.

Side by side

Grin tracks affiliates. Polar makes it a channel.

Grin knows who referred what, but its numbers live apart from your blended reporting, so affiliate is usually a cost you paste into a spreadsheet once a month. Polar folds it in as a real, attributed channel.

Featured Use Case

Grin, as a real channel.

For most brands, affiliate lives in a tool of its own and shows up in reporting as a cost someone pastes in at month-end, which means it is never really judged like a channel.

Commissions and referral revenue folded into blended CAC and MER, automatically. Revenue and cost ranked by real contribution, de-duplicated.
