Profit Guard vs. traditional profit trackers
Apps like BeProfit, Lifetimely, and TrueProfit are built for after-the-sale reporting — dashboards you check at the end of the week or month. Profit Guard is built for the moment an order is placed, so you can act while it still matters.
| Capability | Traditional profit trackers | Profit Guard |
|---|---|---|
| When you see margin | End of day, week, or month | The instant an order is placed |
| Loss-making orders | Surface in a monthly report | Flagged in real time |
| Primary use case | Analytics & dashboards | Loss prevention |
| Setup | Ad spend + channel integrations | Product cost, shipping, and fees — once |
Hidden costs — shipping, discounts, and payment processing fees — are a common source of order-level losses. See Shopify's own payment processing fee schedule for a sense of how much fees alone can erode a thin-margin order.
Pricing
One coffee, once a month.
That's what it costs to protect your business.
Frequently asked questions
Q.How do I know if a Shopify order is profitable?
An order is profitable when its total revenue exceeds product cost, shipping cost, and payment processing fees combined. Profit Guard calculates this automatically for every order the moment it's placed, using the cost data you set up once.
Q.Why is my Shopify store not profitable even with steady sales?
Revenue and conversion rate don't show true profit. Discounts, shipping costs, and payment fees can silently turn a sale into a loss. Many stores have a meaningful share of orders that lose money without the owner noticing, because standard Shopify analytics don't surface per-order margin.
Q.Does Profit Guard replace profit analytics apps like BeProfit or TrueProfit?
No — those tools are built for after-the-fact reporting and dashboards. Profit Guard is focused on one thing: detecting a loss-making order in real time, before it ships, so you can act on it immediately rather than discover it in a monthly report.
Stop finding out at month end.
