How it sells itself

Revenue alone can hide weak margins. ProfitLens Analytics shows Shopify merchants true operational profit after refunds, COGS, payment fees, shipping, and ad spend. Track profit by order, product, and day, detect margin leaks, and see what needs attention first. Built for store owners who want profit control, not another surface-level dashboard.

RefundLedger turns your Shopify order and refund data into clear, SKU-level refund analytics, so you can see exactly which products are quietly eroding your margins instead of only counting refunds. It is read-only and never changes your orders or return portal. Connect in seconds, then rank every SKU by estimated refund impact, track refund rate and lost revenue over time, and export finance-ready reports.

Key points
  • See the real profit of every order including refunds, fees and costs
  • Understand product profitability and contribution margins
  • Identify hidden profit leaks caused by refunds, shipping and fees
  • Analyze daily profit trends and store performance
  • Rank every SKU by estimated refund impact and lost revenue, not just count
  • Track refund rate and lost revenue over time with day-by-day trends
  • Export finance-ready CSV reports for SKU leakage and the refund ledger
  • Optional weekly refund-loss email so leaks never go unnoticed
