Tracking app

Topic summary

Goal: identify the best Shopify app to track actual profit, not just sales.

Recommendations:

  • BeProfit: simple, easy to use; aggregates product costs, ad spend, shipping, and fees to show real profit per order/product.
  • TrueProfit: suitable for stores running lots of ads; provides more detailed breakdowns.

Functionality: These tools go beyond gross sales by combining key cost inputs (product cost, ad spend, shipping, platform fees) to calculate true profitability.

Alternative: Shopify’s built-in analytics offers a basic overview but won’t display true profit unless all costs are entered manually.

Status: No single “best” app declared; the suggested choice depends on store complexity and ad intensity. No final decision or follow-up from the requester, so the thread remains open.

What’s the best app for tracking your profit?

Hello there @Licommerce!

To track your actual profit on Shopify, not just sales, there are a couple of good options.

For something simple and easy to use, BeProfit is a popular choice. It pulls in product costs, ad spend, shipping, and fees so you can see your real profit per order or product.

If you’re running a lot of ads and want more detailed breakdowns, TrueProfit is another solid option.

For a basic overview, Shopify’s built-in analytics is fine, but it won’t show true profit unless you add all your costs manually.
