TrueProfit, BeProfit, Lifetimely — great dashboards. But no answer to the question that matters: what do I fix, and can you stop it before it ships?
You open your dashboard, see that 8 orders had negative margins, and there's nothing to do. They shipped. The money is gone. You update your spreadsheet and move on.
Order comes in. ProfitGuard calculates profit in under 2 seconds. Margin below your threshold? Fulfillment is automatically held. You get an alert. Release or cancel.
Other tools show you that you're losing money. They don't show which product is causing it, which cost is dominant, or what to actually fix. You're guessing at your own data.
ProfitGuard tells you: "Jordan 1 Retro is losing money mainly due to product cost (97%)." Which product, which cost, what to fix. Ranked by impact, in one line.
A customer stacks a 30% sale with a leaked promo code. Your dashboard shows the revenue. Real margin? −11%. You find out three weeks and 40 orders later.
Discounts shown as a cost line on every order. Refunds auto-adjust profit in real time. Recurring expenses pro-rated daily into your P&L. Full picture, before fulfillment.
Fully automatic. No manual work, no CSV uploads, no checking dashboards on Monday morning.
Customer checks out. ProfitGuard picks it up via Shopify's order webhook — instantly.
Revenue minus COGS, transaction fees, shipping, discounts, and proportional ad spend. Under 2 seconds.
Margin above your threshold? Ship it. Below? Fulfillment is automatically held and you get an email alert immediately.
Review held orders in the dashboard. Release or cancel in one click — full cost breakdown included.
Every time you open ProfitGuard, it tells you exactly what to fix — sorted by profit impact. No interpretation required.
Ads, COGS, shipping, and fees are weighted by how much they contributed to each loss. You see which cost actually caused the problem.
ProfitGuard identifies which product drove the most losses and which cost is dominant. "Jordan 1 Retro — mainly COGS (97%)" in one line.
Every list is sorted by loss impact. You see the biggest problem first, not in chronological order.
Every action item shows the recoverable amount — a real dollar figure tied to a specific fix, not an abstract percentage.
Built for Shopify merchants doing $20K–$500K/month who've outgrown spreadsheets but don't need a $200/month enterprise dashboard.
No competitor offers this. Orders below your margin threshold are held before they ship. One-click release or cancel from your dashboard with full cost breakdown.
Identifies which product is losing money and which cost — ads, COGS, shipping, or fees — is dominant. Proportional attribution ranked by impact, not just totals.
Build profit-based automations in Shopify Flow. Trigger on margin below threshold. Take any action Flow supports: hold, tag, notify your team, and more.
Every order shows revenue, COGS, transaction fees, shipping, discounts, and ad spend — calculated via webhook the moment it comes in. Refunds auto-adjust immediately.
Connect via OAuth. Daily ad spend allocated proportionally across orders by revenue share. See the true profit of every sale including ad cost attribution.
Auto-syncs from Shopify's cost fields. Manual override per variant (preserved on resync). Bulk CSV import. Missing COGS audit with estimated profit impact.
Every discount shown as a cost line on every order. Stacked promotions and leaked codes caught in real time. Refunds and cancellations auto-adjust order profit.
Instant email when an order falls below your threshold. Plus a weekly P&L summary every Monday morning with top losses and recoverable amounts.
Add subscriptions, warehouse rent, agency fees. Pro-rated daily into your P&L so net profit is always the real number — not just order-level margin.
The profit tracking market is full of dashboards. ProfitGuard is the only tool that takes action before fulfillment — and explains why you're losing.
