How it helps

Shopify benchmarks from stores like yours, not industry averages

Published ecommerce benchmarks mix every kind of shop, so they say little about yours. Shopify benchmarks in Profitario compare your margin, ROAS, refunds and order value with stores in your category and price range, anonymously.

  1. 01

    Know whether a number is good

    Each metric shows your percentile rank against your peer group, a Shopify store comparison that published averages cannot give you. A 2x ROAS can be weak in one category and strong in another, and the rank tells you which.

  2. 02

    Prioritize the gaps worth closing

    Every metric has its own benchmark, from average order value to refund rate. Where you trail the median, the report shows what closing the gap is worth per month at your current volume, so you start with the change that adds the most profit.

  3. 03

    Time launches to your market

    Order volume by hour and weekday next to similar stores shows when your market buys, and with it the best time to run ads, launch products and send emails.

Questions it answers

From a question to the next step

  1. 01 · You ask

    Is my margin good for my category?

    Why it matters: A margin can feel fine and still sit well below similar stores. Without a comparison, you may accept a pricing or cost problem as normal.

    The report shows

    Your percentile against stores in the same category and price range.

    You act

    If you sit in the bottom half, look at product costs and shipping before chasing more revenue.

  2. 02 · You ask

    Is my ROAS low, or is the category low?

    Why it matters: If the whole category runs at a low ROAS, cutting ads would cost sales without fixing anything. If only your store is low, the ads need work.

    The report shows

    Your blended ROAS next to the peer median, per platform.

    You act

    If the whole category runs at a low ROAS, compete on order value and repeat purchases instead of bids.

  3. 03 · You ask

    Which gap should I close first?

    Why it matters: Time and budget are limited. Ranking gaps by their value in money shows which improvement pays back first.

    The report shows

    Each gap to the median, valued per month at your current volume.

    You act

    Start with the gap worth the most per month.

  4. 04 · You ask

    When should I launch and spend?

    Why it matters: Spend and launches work better when your market is buying. Knowing the peak hours and days stops budget from going out when demand is low.

    The report shows

    Order share by weekday and hour next to your peer group.

    You act

    Schedule launches, emails and budget increases for the hours and days your market buys most.
