What is included in Shopify order profit?

Product costs, handling, shipping, transaction fees, tax, rule-based expenses and the ad spend credited to the order. Refunds reduce the order when they happen.

Can I correct the cost of a single order?

Yes. You can override the costs of an order, for example a custom shipping charge, and the override wins over imported values. The change shows in the order breakdown and in every report.

Can I export Shopify orders with profit and costs?

Yes. Filter the order list and export it with the profit and cost columns you see in the table.

Why is my Shopify order margin low or negative?

Usually a product has no cost yet, a shipping rule does not match, or ad spend and fees outweigh a small order. The order breakdown shows which cost is responsible.

How it helps

Shopify order profit, so losing orders cannot hide in the totals

A good month can hide orders losing money on every sale. Shopify order profit in Profitario puts net profit and margin on every order, with each cost explained.

01
Find the orders that lose money
Every row shows net profit and margin, and the totals follow your filters and selection. Sort by margin to see the true profit of every order, the unprofitable ones first, and the pattern they share.
02
Every cost traced to its source
Open an order for a cost per order breakdown: COGS per order, shipping, fees, tax and ad spend, and where each came from (Shopify, a supplier, a cost rule or your own override). A wrong cost is fixed on the order or at its source.
03
Profit by channel, gateway and campaign
Filter by sales channel, payment gateway, status or fulfillment to compare profit by sales channel. The visits before each order show which campaign brought it and the share of ad spend it carries.

Questions it answers

From a question to the next step

01 · You ask
Which orders lost money last week?
Why it matters: Small orders with free shipping or heavy discounts can lose money on every sale. Finding them early stops a pricing or shipping rule from quietly eating margin.
The report shows
Every order with net profit and margin, sortable from the lowest.
You act
Sort by margin, open the worst order and fix the cost behind it: a shipping rule, a missing product cost or a discount that went too far.

02 · You ask
Why is this order's margin so low?
Why it matters: A single low margin is often a missing or wrong cost. Seeing each cost and its source tells you whether the order or the data needs fixing.
The report shows
Each cost on the order with its source, next to what the customer paid.
You act
If the shipping label cost more than the customer paid, adjust the shipping rule or the free-shipping threshold for that zone.

03 · You ask
Does every sales channel pay the same?
Why it matters: Channels and payment gateways carry different fees. Without the comparison, the channel that looks busiest may be the one that pays least.
The report shows
Filter by channel and compare the margin in the totals row.
You act
If one sales channel keeps a lower margin, check its fees and discounts before putting more volume through it.

04 · You ask
Which campaign brought this order?
Why it matters: Ad spend only makes sense next to the orders it produced. Knowing which campaign brought an order shows what that order really cost to win.
The report shows
The visits before the order and the campaign it is credited to.
You act
Credit the order to the campaign that brought it, not to the last ad the platform reports.
