Three steps to the number that matters.

1Connect your store

Orders, discounts, refunds and the fees Shopify reports come in on their own.

2Add what Shopify doesn’t know

Product costs from Shopify, a spreadsheet or by hand; the shipping you pay, your expenses, and ad spend once your accounts are connected.

3Read what’s left

True profit for the store, every order and every ad, the same number wherever you look.

Every line, and where it comes from.

What you paid for the product

Cost of goods per variant, per country where it differs, and dated so an old month keeps the cost it really had. Bring it in from Shopify, upload a spreadsheet or type it in.

ShippingJUNE
Charged to customers+$6,240
Paid to carriers−$15,296
Shipping−$9,056

What delivery cost

The shipping costs you log, set against what customers paid you for shipping.

Payment feesJUNE

What the payment cost

Where Shopify reports the fee it took, Aplon uses it. Your own rates, one per payment provider, fill the gaps.

Leave one cost out, and see what it hides.

Profit without shipping or fees looks better than it is. Switch a cost off and watch the gap open.

  • Revenue$125,075

Tap a cost to leave it out. Aplon counts every one, and while a cost is still unknown it says so, rather than show a profit that leaves it out.

Every other line, from your own records.

  • What was discounted

    Discount codes and reductions, taken off what each order listed at.

  • What came back

    Refunds and returns, kept apart, because money refunded and items physically returned are different things.

    Refunds versus returns

    Money refunded and items physically returned are different, and Aplon separates them.

  • What was disputed

    Chargebacks, read from your Shopify Payments ledger. Where the ledger cannot be read, Aplon says so rather than counting none.

  • What the ads cost

    Spend from Meta, Google and Snapchat once they are connected.

  • What it cost to run

    Your operating expenses, tracked against revenue.

    Expenses

    Adding your running costs, how monthly costs are split across shorter periods, and editing an amount later.

The same number, everywhere it matters.

  • GROWTH AND UP

    Profit & Loss

    The whole store, down to net profit, for any period you pick.

    Profit and Loss

    What each line means, and what to do if your net profit is showing a dash.

  • GROWTH AND UP

    Orders

    Every order with what it actually made: revenue, cost, fees and what you kept.

  • GROWTH AND UP

    Profit per order, per ad

    What each platform and campaign left you on every order it brought, not just its ROAS.
