See every featureProfit 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.
Most Shopify store owners think they're profitable. Then they subtract their actual product costs, ad spend, payment fees, and VAT, the number changes. Q-Tracker does that math automatically, on every order, in real time. Connect your store & ad accounts once. Set your costs per product variant. Q-Tracker handles the rest. No more spreadsheets. No more end-of-month surprises. Just accurate numbers you can act on.
