Hi there.
I was trying to set up the margin table to see in my analytics report my margin profit but there is no such option. I asked the chat and it says “To check your profit margins on Shopify, go to ‘Analytics’ > ‘Reports’. Click ‘Categories’, then ‘Profit margin’”. I added price per item to my items but it doesn’t help. Can I see my profit margin per period I need?
Topic summary
A user is unable to locate profit margin reports in their Shopify analytics dashboard, despite adding cost-per-item data to products. They received conflicting guidance from Shopify’s chat support about accessing these reports through Analytics > Reports > Categories > Profit margin.
Key Finding:
- Another user identified that the “Profit by Product” report exists but is not available on Shopify’s Basic plan—it requires a higher-tier subscription.
- Screenshots were shared showing where this report appears for users with access.
Suggested Solutions:
- Upgrade to a higher Shopify plan to access native profit margin reporting
- Use third-party apps like Report Pundit or Bloom Analytics, which offer profit tracking features including gross/net margins, expense integration, and detailed markup calculations regardless of plan tier.
The issue remains unresolved for the original poster, pending either a plan upgrade or adoption of external reporting tools.
Sorry, you mean below on the list? Then yes and there’s no such option as ‘profit by product’ or something similar
No, I mean the one in my screenshot in this message. The name of the report is Profit by Product. Which version of Shopify are you on? This report is not available in the Basic plan.
Hello @deseyener ,
If this report isn’t available on your current Shopify plan, you might consider using a third-party reporting tool like Report Pundit. Feel free to install it if you need further assistance.
Thanks!
Hey @deseyener ,
If your current Shopify plan limits these reports access, you might want to check out Bloom for detailed gross and net profit margin tracking.
With Bloom, you get the flexibility to integrate third-party apps and add all your expenses, ensuring an accurate markup on your profits.
Give it a try and see if it fits your needs!
Thanks!
