How it sells itself

ClearMargin calculates net profit for every Shopify order by deducting cost of goods sold, shipping, handling, packaging, payment processor fees, and refunds. Set costs per product variant or use store-wide defaults. Sync your last 90 days of orders in one click and view profit by day, week, month, and product.

MarginNerve turns Shopify order, product expense, payment transaction, and refund data into contribution-profit signals. Add operating expenses Shopify does not track, including packaging and fulfillment, then review estimated profit by order and product. Risk Radar prioritizes refund, discount, and missing-data issues, while confidence indicators show where source data is incomplete.

Key points
  • True net profit per order after all costs, fees, and refunds
  • Per-product and per-variant cost tracking for accurate margins
  • Dashboard with today, week, and month profit metrics
  • Automatic payment processor fee calculation
  • Calculate contribution profit from sales, refunds and operating expenses
  • Prioritize refund, discount and missing-data risks in Risk Radar
  • Compare product profitability across 30-, 90- and 365-day windows
  • See confidence scores when expenses or source data are incomplete
