See every featureMost merchants see revenue, but not real profit. MarginShield calculates the true profit and margin on every Shopify order by combining revenue with product cost, payment fees, shipping cost, packaging, and custom fees. It shows profit right inside the order page and a dashboard, flags loss-making orders, finds products missing a cost, and reveals how discounts and free shipping affect your bottom line.
Partial returns on discounted orders often over-refund because discount allocations are not applied correctly. RefundMath calculates the exact refund from those allocations for selected items and quantities, including tax credit. Paste an order ID or URL, select return items, copy the correct amount, then finish the refund in Shopify. Example: $500 order with a $50 discount.
