Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureProfit Guard calculates the real profit of every Shopify order by factoring in your COGS, Shopify transaction fee, shipping, and discounts. Every order gets flagged based on your margin threshold — green, yellow, or red. View breakdowns per order, track your least profitable products, see your 30-day margin trend, and export everything to CSV.
Your store shows revenue — not profit. ProfitVault subtracts every real cost so you know what you actually keep. For each order it computes true net profit: revenue minus COGS, payment fees, shipping, ad spend and returns. Set product costs once (FIFO, LIFO or average) and the right cost applies automatically. See profit and margin by day, product and period.
