How to Connect PostHog to Polar.
A Polar account with Shopify connected, access to your PostHog account, and Polar's AI Data Engineer, which builds the connector from a plain-language request.

No native PostHog connector yet? Describe what you need in plain language and the AI Data Engineer reads the PostHog API, writes the connector and pipes it into your warehouse, in minutes.
02 · Bring PostHog into Polar
1
Ask for the connector ~ minutes
Plain language, no code.
Tell Polar's AI Data Engineer what you want from PostHog 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 PostHog API exposes a field, you can have it, down to a single hidden one the standard connector never pulled.

Events joined to orders automatic
Behaviour, meet revenue.
Polar joins PostHog events and cohorts to the orders that followed, so a funnel step is measured in revenue and margin rather than in drop-off percentage alone.
3
Prioritise by money the payoff
The leak that costs most.
Pages and steps are ranked by the revenue their gap costs, not by their conversion rate, so CRO work is sequenced by impact instead of by whichever number looks worst.
Side by side
PostHog shows behaviour. Polar shows what it's worth.
PostHog is excellent at what users do, but it does not know your revenue, CAC or margin, so behaviour and money live in separate tools. Bring PostHog into Polar and the gap closes.

PostHog with Polarblended
Rich behaviour, no revenue attached.
Behaviour reasoned on next to governed revenue.
Funnels and cohorts sit apart from money.
Funnels and cohorts mapped to LTV and repeat.
No tie from a drop-off to lost revenue.
Drop-offs tied to revenue by source.
Two tools, two truths.
Polar answers across both, sourced.
The Gap
The PostHog connector is only half of it.
Once your PostHog events and cohorts are connected to Polar, you can use them wherever you already work. Ask Polar in plain language, pull them live through the Polar MCP, or schedule a snapshot into the report your team reads every morning.
