Your dashboard still shows revenue is fine — but which SKUs are quietly losing money? Landed Cost Radar pulls your catalog, lets you enter supplier cost, freight, duty, and origin country per variant, then ranks worst offenders by inventory dollars at risk.
Profit Guard calculates the real profit of every Shopify order by factoring in your COGS, Shopify transaction fee, shipping, and discounts. Every order gets flagged based on your margin threshold — green, yellow, or red. View breakdowns per order, track your least profitable products, see your 30-day margin trend, and export everything to CSV.
