How it sells itself

Mercury is a read-only promotion monitoring app that helps merchants understand how discounts affect orders. It highlights stacked discounts, discount exposure, risky promotion settings, and estimated potential leakage. Review promotion health, inspect affected orders in the Leakage Ledger, monitor promotion changes, and see alerts in one place.

PromoMate reads your Shopify orders to help you judge a sale before, during and after it runs. Before: it estimates how much extra sales your discount needs to break even, from your own trading history. During: it watches the sale's pace against that target. After: it reports what the sale did, updating as refunds and later orders settle, and carries what it learned into your next sale.

Key points
  • See discount exposure, stacked discounts, and estimated potential leakage
  • Review risky promotion settings such as no usage cap or no end date
  • Inspect affected orders and discount combinations in the Leakage Ledger
  • Get in-app alerts when monitored promotion settings become risky
  • See what your discount needs to earn before the sale starts
  • Watch the sale's pace against that target while it runs
  • Get an honest result afterwards, updated as refunds settle
  • Carry what each sale taught you into the next one
