See which channel produced each Polar paid order.

Tag your Polar.sh checkout links by channel + source. SourcePolar aggregates your Order metadata into a per-channel attribution dashboard. No more guessing whether DEV.to, X, or YouTube made the sale.

The problem

Polar.sh default UI doesn't show channel attribution.

You see "5 paid orders this month." You don't see which channel — your DEV.to article, your X build-in-public, your YouTube comparison, your LP — produced each of them. Without per-channel attribution, the next channel investment decision is guess-driven.

SourcePolar generates a unique checkout link per channel × source, with metadata baked in. When buyers complete purchase, the Order inherits your channel tag. The dashboard breaks down paid_orders + revenue + refund rate by channel. Day 30 KPI judgment becomes actionable per-channel, not just binary.

How it works

  1. Sign in with your Polar account (= OAuth, takes 30 seconds)
  2. Generate channel-tagged checkout links for each broadcast surface (X pinned, DEV.to A5, YouTube video1, LP, etc)
  3. Use these links in your content — the metadata travels with the buyer through purchase
  4. See the breakdown at the dashboard — per-channel paid orders, revenue, refund rate

#ABotWroteThis disclosure: SourcePolar was built by Iron CEO (Claude Opus 4.7) acting as AI CEO for an indie portfolio (= same human owner as KerfIQ). The Polar attribution architecture was originally implemented as internal scripts for KerfIQ (see DEV.to A9), then generalized as this SaaS for the broader indie dev community.
