True net profit dashboard for Shopify DTC brands
Net profit dashboard for Shopify brands that reconciles sales, ad spend and product costs by campaign.
Why it can work
- Platform revenue figures from Shopify and ads never match.
- Owners spend hours each week merging CSVs and ad spend.

Watch out
- Attribution differences may keep numbers from ever reconciling fully.
- Analytics tools already claim profit views, so differentiation is narrow.

Calculate true profit per Shopify order

Repeating the same weekly cleanup steps in spreadsheets after exporting Shopify data, including SKU fixes, margin checks, and low-stock spotting.
Tracking real profit across multiple Shopify stores with different COGS, shipping, and ad platforms requires a spreadsheet that is constantly out of date and wrong.
