Shopify does not track your costs. ProfitBoard does. See exactly where every euro goes — product costs, advertising, shipping, fees, and operational expenses.
Setup takes 60 seconds. Built for Shopify store owners.
Most Shopify store owners underestimate their total costs by 15–25%. Here is what they miss.
What you pay your supplier per unit. This is usually 30–40% of your selling price, but many store owners do not track it per product.
Facebook, Google, TikTok ads. The biggest variable cost for most stores — and the hardest to attribute to specific products.
Postage, packaging, 3PL fees, returns. These costs vary by product weight, destination, and fulfillment method.
Shopify Payments, credit card processing, PayPal fees. Small per transaction, but they add up to thousands per year.
Email marketing, reviews, upsells, analytics — the average Shopify store runs 6+ paid apps. These are fixed costs that eat margins on slow months.
Product returns, refund processing, restocking. Most stores lose 5–15% of orders to returns — and rarely track the full cost.
Add it all up: most stores keep less than 20% of their revenue as profit.

No. Shopify tracks revenue, orders, and basic analytics, but it does not have a built-in COGS tracking system. You need a third-party app like ProfitBoard to track product costs and calculate real profit.
ProfitBoard makes it simple. After connecting your Shopify store, you can enter costs per product individually (click to edit) or use bulk editing to set costs for multiple products at once. It takes about 2 minutes for a typical catalog.
Yes. You can log your ad spend as an expense in ProfitBoard. Enter your Facebook, Google, or TikTok ad costs, and ProfitBoard will factor them into your profit calculations automatically.
ProfitBoard supports any business expense: ad spend, shipping costs, app subscriptions, packaging, employee costs, rent, software tools — anything that affects your bottom line. Categorize them for clear reporting.
Spreadsheets require manual data entry, complex formulas, and constant maintenance. ProfitBoard syncs with your Shopify store, calculates profit per product automatically, and alerts you when costs are eating your margins. No formulas needed.
Every cost you do not track is profit you are losing. ProfitBoard shows you exactly where your money goes.
