How it sells itself

MarginOS is the Profit & Inventory OS for scaling Shopify DTC brands. Connect Shopify, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and fulfillment data to see profit by SKU, channel, and customer. Find what to SCALE, FIX, STOP, and PROTECT: profitable products, losing campaigns, margin leaks, customer cohorts, and cash trapped in inventory.

MerchantFlow shows Shopify operators their real profit per product and across the whole store. Connect Google, Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat ads so total ad spend pulls from each platform and blended ROAS reflects every dollar spent, including Performance Max. Manage COGS in bulk or sync from Shopify inventory costs. Reconcile against your bank balance to catch untracked expenses.

Key points
  • Single profit command center across Shopify, 3PL/warehouse, and Ad platforms.
  • SKU-level gross margin and contribution profit per order and product.
  • CAC payback and Lifetime Gross Profit (LTGP) tracking you can trust.
  • Identify profit leaks from COGS, shipping, discounts and returns.
  • Live P&L dashboard combining Shopify revenue, COGS and all ad platforms.
  • Product-level profit tracking with COGS and ad spend attribution.
  • Connect Claude, Cursor and other AI tools via MCP for live store insights.
  • Bank balance reconciliation to catch untracked expenses.
