Prerequisites

  • At least one e-commerce or marketplace platform
  • Minimum data: 3 months of order history with itemized costs
  • Optimal: 12+ months to detect cost shifts over time
  • ℹ️ COGS data strongly recommended; without it, gross margin only; shipping costs pulled from carrier integrations when available

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't track COGS?

Upload a CSV mapping SKU to cost, or we can use category average margins. Missing COGS means we can only show gross margin, but still better than nothing.

Do you account for free shipping offers?

Yes - we calculate shipping subsidy (actual carrier cost minus what customer paid, often $0). Shows the true cost of 'free shipping' promos.

How do you handle payment processing fees?

We calculate fees based on your plan tier and payment gateway. Different rates for Stripe, PayPal, platform-native payments, etc.

Can I see margins across multiple sales channels?

Yes - if you sell on multiple platforms, we consolidate margin analysis and show which channels have better economics.
