How it sells itself

MarginTruth breaks your month's margin down term by term, and every term names the Shopify field it came from and the time it was read. A term Shopify does not report is declared missing, never counted as zero, and the total holding it is marked incomplete. Every order is reconciled against the net amount Shopify publishes for it, and the gap is shown instead of absorbed.

RefundAudit gives merchants a clear audit trail for refunds. It imports the last 60 days of refund history, then attributes new refunds by actor and channel from install onward. Merchants can label staff actors, review rollups, export audit fields to CSV, and receive a weekly digest with totals, coverage, top actors and channels, and one review flag. The app is visibility only and keeps a bounded refund projection.

Key points
  • Every term names the Shopify field it came from and when it was read
  • A missing unit cost is declared missing, with the product it concerns
  • The gap with Shopify's published net is shown, instead of absorbed
  • Refund Feed shows amount, order, timestamp, actor, channel, and note
  • 60-day backfill gives immediate refund history after install
  • Staff actor labels and channel rollups make refund patterns clear
  • Explainable review flags highlight unusual refund patterns
