How it sells itself

Magicad connects Shopify, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Stripe so merchants can manage data in one place. It consolidates sales, subscriptions, and ad spend into a single workspace with currency and timezone settings. Use it to review performance by channel and keep data sources synced.

Mcfly reads your store's order history and turns it into the long view. See lifetime value at 30, 90 and 365 days for every first-order month, and watch how each cohort comes back to buy again. Line up any stretch of days against the same days in up to 5 past years, aligned by weekday so Black Friday weekends line up. Set a monthly sales goal and see the daily pace you need to hit it.

Key points
  • Unified data workspace: Shopify, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Stripe
  • Cross-channel performance view: Review sales, ad spend, and subscriptions
  • Guided setup for data: Step-by-step onboarding to connect each data sources
  • Add spend from every platform — even billboards — next to store sales
  • See spend beside sales for the same day, including zero-spend days
  • Type a billboard or paste an Ads Manager CSV — no ad-network login
  • Customer LTV from orders, not a CRM
