See every featureMarginGuard shows your true profit per order — not just revenue. Automatically factor in product costs, shipping, payment fees and discounts to calculate real margins. Identify low-margin and loss-making orders instantly, get alerts when profit drops below your targets, and understand which products or discounts are impacting performance.
Most merchants see revenue in Admin but not contribution profit after COGS, shipping, fees, and discounts. MarginMind applies your assumptions at store and product level. The Profit Command Center shows waterfall charts, trends, and a scorecard. Ranked opportunities include estimated impact and actions. Use What-If to model changes before you commit. Set defaults or product COGS in Settings.
