Why teams rethink Elevar
If this sounds familiar, it is time to upgrade
1
Black‑box setup – little visibility, minimal dashboards
2
GTM‑reliant; Shopify checkout restrictions reduce coverage
3
CAPI conflicts when running multiple enhancers in parallel
4
Missed events for Klaviyo flows – limited enrichment
5
No BI – must export to spreadsheets or other tools

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Can Polar run alongside Elevar?
Yes. Start with Pixel in listen‑only and Klaviyo Enricher active. When you’re ready, flip CAPI to Polar.
Why Polar over Elevar?
Polar combines enrichment, attribution, and BI in one platform with full transparency – no black box, no exports required.
How do you avoid duplicate conversions?
We coordinate CAPI ownership by channel and deduplicate with event IDs. During tests only one system pushes to each platform.
How long does migration take?
Typical audits run 2 weeks. Full replacement is usually staged over 2–4 weeks depending on channels and custom events.
What uplift should I expect in Klaviyo?
Live comparisons show +40–50% more identified emails and additional revenue from browse/cart/checkout flow
What's unique about Polar's BI capabilities?
Polar offers a flexible BI platform letting you create custom reports, metrics, and dashboards tailored to your business needs.
How do you handle multi-store and cross-brand journeys?
Identity is unified at the person level across domains and stores. Roll up by brand, market, or region without losing order-level detail.
How customizable is the tracking?
Fully customizable with Polar. Elevar limits you to GTM's capabilities.
