How it sells itself

Shopify reports revenue, but revenue is not what you keep. Marginflow subtracts advertising spend, cost of goods, transaction fees and refunds from each order so you can see what is actually left. Enter cost per product once and the app applies it to every order automatically. Connect ad accounts to include marketing spend in the same view.

Most store owners track revenue but not true profit. ProfitPulse solves this by combining order data with every cost that eats into your margins: cost of goods, shipping, transaction fees, ad spend, and operating expenses. You see exactly which products, channels, and customers are profitable and which are losing money. Costs sync automatically from Shopify and your ad platforms, or you can import them via CSV.

Key points
  • See contribution margin per order, per product and per campaign
  • Set cost of goods once and apply it across all orders automatically
  • Include ad spend from connected accounts in your profit calculation
  • True profit dashboard combining COGS, shipping, fees, and expenses
  • COGS tracking with CSV bulk import and Shopify metafield sync
  • Ad spend sync from Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, and AppLovin
  • Product and channel profitability ranking with margin insights

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
