Margin Mate pulls your orders and products from Shopify and calculates what you actually keep after COGS, shipping, transaction fees, refunds and ad spend. See net profit per order and per product, and catch money-losing products before they drain your margins.
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.
