Free profit margin calculator app for Shopify

When customers order multiple items from your store, it's not easy to calculate by heart how much volume discount you might be able to offer.

When setting up manual orders or quotes you want to be able to easily determine the cost and profit. Luckily, now you can.

Having installed this app, your draft orders will have a menu option Show profit margins that'll open a new tab showing you a table with the exact profit margins for the line items as well as the total order profit.

This app is installed in 3 simple steps.

› Step 1
Visit the app's installation page app.public-apps.com/install.html.
(Alternatively, you can install this app from the Shopify App Store Shopify App Store.)

› Step 2
Enter the address of your Shopify store, your Shopify subdomain, in the form. The address looks like: storename.myshopify.com. After you submit the form, you are redirected to Shopify to login.

› Step 3
Grant the app permission for the requested actions. For example, the app must be able to read your draft orders to calculate profit margins..

If you employ staff, it is good to know that the staff member accounts themselves must also have the Draft orders, Products and Apps permissions to use this app.

Done. You will be taken to the home screen of the app. You are now ready to use the app.

Here are 4 pictures of the app after we installed it in our store.

On the app's Select a draft screen we chose the draft order we wanted to see the profit margins for. Next, we were presented with the profit margins table in which we customized the cost of a line item and edited the the order's shipping cost. The order's profit margins are recalculated real-time.

Example 1: Selecting the draft order for which we want ot calculate profit margins:

Example 2: Viewing profit margins for the selected draft order:

Example 3: Customizing costs and order contents:

Example 4: Setting the default shipping cost for draft orders:

Here's a video that shows the default shipping cost being edited.

Would you like to calculate profit margins for your orders in a different way? Or do you require analytics of some other metric of your online store or website?

Or do your run a store on another platform than Shopify, like WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or OpenCart, and would you like to have a version of this app built for that platform?

Please ask us about the possibilities. We will map out your app requirements and discuss the development costs with you or send you a quote.
