Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
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.
Chaque commande vous coûte plus que vous ne le pensez : droits de douane, TVA à l'import, frais Shopify et Stripe, retours, publicité. Ces coûts n'apparaissent nulle part dans Shopify. True Cost Calculator lit vos commandes et calcule ce que chaque vente vous a vraiment rapporté. Dès qu'un produit passe sous votre objectif de marge, vous êtes alerté dans l'app et par email.
