Why Track Profit (Not Just Revenue)?

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash flow is reality.

Shopify Shows Revenue, Not Profit

Your Shopify dashboard shows how much money came in - but not how much actually stayed in your pocket. A $50,000 revenue month could mean $5,000 in profit... or $5,000 in losses. Without tracking all your costs, you're flying blind. Many successful-looking stores are actually bleeding money because they don't track the full picture: COGS, shipping, payment fees, transaction fees, and advertising costs.

Hidden Costs Add Up Fast

Every Shopify order has hidden costs that eat into your margins. Payment processing fees (2.9% + 30 cents with Shopify Payments), transaction fees on third-party gateways, shipping costs that exceed what you charged, returns and refunds, and of course your ad spend on Facebook, Google, and TikTok. A product with 50% gross margin can easily become 10% net margin - or worse - once you factor in all these costs. ProfitHelm tracks every cost automatically.

The $50,000 Question

Consider two stores both doing $50,000/month in revenue. Store A has 30% COGS, $5,000 in ad spend, and standard fees - they're making $8,500 profit. Store B has 45% COGS, $12,000 in ad spend, and heavy discounting - they're losing $3,000 per month. Both stores look the same in Shopify. Only one is building a sustainable business. Which one are you? ProfitHelm gives you the answer in real-time, so you can make data-driven decisions about pricing, ad spend, and product mix.

How It Works

See your real profit in 4 simple steps - setup takes under 5 minutes

1

Connect Your Shopify Store

Install ProfitHelm from the Shopify App Store and authorize the connection with one click. We use secure OAuth authentication - no passwords required, no API keys to copy. Your last 12 months of orders, products, and refunds will sync automatically within minutes. We continuously sync new orders via webhooks, so your data is always up to date.

2

Set Up Your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

Import your product costs via CSV file for bulk setup, or manually enter them in the app. You can set costs at the product level for accuracy, variant level for size/color variations, or use a store-wide default margin percentage to get started quickly. ProfitHelm also automatically tracks shipping costs from your Shopify orders and calculates payment processing fees based on your gateway settings.

3

Connect Your Ad Platforms (Optional)

Link your Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads accounts via secure OAuth. ProfitHelm automatically imports your daily ad spend, so you can see true ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and profit after advertising costs - without manual data entry or messy spreadsheets. See which campaigns are actually profitable, not just which ones have the best click-through rates.

4

See profit trends over time with interactive charts, drill into individual orders to understand margins, identify your most and least profitable products, and export data to CSV for your accountant.
