Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify shows sales. Profflow shows what you keep. Every order is broken down: cost of goods, shipping, payment fees, refunds, discounts, ad spend and tax. You get net profit per day, per order and per product, ROAS measured on margin, and a cash forecast built from your own figures. Each week it names the decisions worth making, priced in money.
Profit Guard calculates true net profit on every Shopify order the moment it arrives. Configure your payment processing rate, shipping rate, and COGS ratio once. Profit Guard handles the rest. Orders below your profit threshold are automatically flagged and tagged in your Shopify admin so you can act immediately. The standard tier uses COGS ratio estimation.
- Net profit per day, per order and per product — after every cost
- EU VAT stripped at the buyer's rate, with the OSS threshold tracked
- Cost of goods per variant, entered inline or pasted in bulk
- Break-even ROAS from all variable costs, not cost of goods alone
- Real-time profit calculation on every Shopify order
- Automatic flagging and tagging of unprofitable orders
- True COGS from Shopify inventory for per-variant accuracy
