How it sells itself

Revenue doesn't tell you what you keep. Margin OS reveals your true net profit — per order, product, and channel — after COGS, fees, shipping, refunds, and operating expenses. Add product costs inline or by CSV, log expenses, and your real margins update automatically in a clean dashboard with trends, channel and returns breakdowns, and a profit forecast.

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. View breakdowns per order, track your least profitable products, see your 30-day margin trend, and export everything to CSV.

Key points
  • True net profit per order, product & channel — after every cost
  • Add product costs inline or import them in bulk by CSV
  • Track monthly operating expenses for a true bottom line
  • Profit dashboard with trends, channel & returns breakdowns
  • True profit calculation on every order, including fees and shipping
  • Color-coded order dashboard showing profitable and loss-making orders
  • Per-product COGS entry with supplier shipping support for dropshippers
  • 30-day margin trend chart and most unprofitable products panel
