Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureProfitShield checks each order's true profit at checkout and stops the ones that would lose you money, before you ship them. It computes each order's true net profit — COGS, shipping, payment fees, discounts, and packaging — in real time, then flags or blocks the orders that break your margin rules. Set a profit floor per store; start in Flag mode and switch on Block when you're ready.
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.
