MarginLab starts with a focused store overview, then explains the business impact behind weak margins, missing costs, discounts, refunds and product-level profit risks.
A clear view of store profitability.
Review the metrics and signals that matter most without rebuilding reports or searching through disconnected Shopify data.
Core profitability KPIs
Monitor revenue, COGS, gross profit, margin percentage and total profit leakage.
Profit Leak Score
Summarize product and cost risks into one practical store-level indicator.
Period comparisons
Compare current and previous performance to understand whether margins are strengthening or weakening.
Understand the business impact behind the numbers.
MarginLab does more than display KPIs. It organizes discounts, refunds, weak margins, missing costs and product deterioration into clearer business signals.
- Identify which issues have the strongest financial impact.
- Separate isolated fluctuations from recurring profitability problems.
- Understand whether the priority is pricing, cost data, discounts or product mix.
- Move from store-wide signals to the products that require review.
Understand which products support profit and which require review.
MarginLab brings product revenue, costs, profit, margin and risk signals into one focused view. Merchants can move from store-level performance to the exact products affecting profitability.
Prioritize products using profit, not revenue alone.
A bestseller can still weaken profitability when product cost, discounts, refunds or selling expenses reduce the margin retained from each sale.
Product margin analysis
Compare revenue, COGS, profit and margin percentage across individual products.
Missing cost detection
Identify products whose margin cannot be evaluated reliably because cost data is incomplete.
Pricing and recovery signals
Review break-even prices, target prices and potential margin improvement opportunities.
Understand what is happening without interpreting every metric alone.
MarginLab AI Advisor analyzes the store profitability context and explains store health, the main risks, what should be checked first and where meaningful profit opportunities may exist.
Turn profitability data into clearer business priorities.
The AI Advisor works with the profitability signals already analyzed by MarginLab. It does not replace merchant judgment or change the store automatically. It helps explain what the data means and where attention may be most useful.
Store health explanation
Receive a concise interpretation of overall margin performance and business condition.
Realistic risk prioritization
Separate significant problems from normal fluctuations that do not require urgent action.
Actionable next steps
Understand what to review first across product costs, margins, discounts and recovery opportunities.
Overall margin remains positive, but some products retain significantly less profit than the rest of the catalog.
These issues can distort margin reporting or allow high-revenue products to contribute less profit than expected.
Reliable cost information improves every downstream profitability calculation and recommendation.
Small price or cost improvements on recurring sellers may create more impact than changing low-volume products.
Ask deeper questions about your store.
After the initial analysis, merchants can continue the conversation with focused questions about products, margins, pricing, risk and recovery opportunities.
Test possible improvements before changing prices or costs.
The Recovery Simulator helps merchants evaluate how realistic pricing, product-cost and margin improvements could affect retained profit. It turns product opportunities into measurable scenarios without making automatic changes.
Turn product-level signals into practical what-if analysis.
MarginLab uses existing product volume, cost and margin information to estimate how selected changes may affect future profit. The goal is not to promise a result, but to make the financial impact of a possible action easier to understand.
Price improvement scenarios
Test how small changes in selling price may affect margin and estimated profit.
Product-cost reduction
Evaluate the potential impact of lower supplier, production or purchasing costs.
Recoverable profit estimate
Compare current performance with a simulated improved scenario using actual product volume.
Select the opportunity
Start from a product with weak margin, consistent volume or meaningful recovery potential.
Adjust the assumptions
Test price, cost or margin changes without modifying the live Shopify product.
Review the projected impact
Compare the current position with the simulated scenario before deciding whether action is justified.
Keep profitability visible without turning every day into an emergency.
MarginLab helps merchants review changes over time, recognize meaningful deterioration and identify practical priorities. Stable performance should remain visible without generating unnecessary critical alerts.
Understand what changed and whether it requires action.
Period comparisons and trend analysis provide context around revenue, profit and margin movement. MarginLab is designed to distinguish genuine business issues from normal fluctuations that can simply continue to be monitored.
Period-over-period comparison
Compare current performance with the previous selected period across revenue and margin.
Margin trend visibility
See whether profitability is strengthening, stable or gradually deteriorating.
Realistic business priorities
Surface actions when the potential impact is meaningful instead of treating every variation as urgent.
The store does not require urgent intervention. Missing costs and one weak bestseller are the clearest current priorities.
Alerts and reports should inform, not create noise.
MarginLab’s future monitoring workflows are intended to notify merchants only when changes are genuinely significant. Email summaries, threshold-based alerts and reporting tools will be added progressively as the monitoring system evolves.
Start with profit visibility. Add deeper guidance when you need it.
Both plans are built around the same goal: helping Shopify merchants understand profitability and make clearer decisions. Starter provides the core analysis, while Growth adds advanced guidance, simulation and planning tools.

Understand how MarginLab works before connecting your store.
These answers clarify how the app uses Shopify data, how recommendations work, what merchants remain responsible for and how Starter and Growth differ.
MarginLab analyzes the Shopify order, product and cost information available to the app. It uses this data to calculate revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, product profit, margin percentage, discounts, refunds and product-level risk signals.
The accuracy of the analysis depends on the quality and completeness of the underlying Shopify data, especially product costs.
No. MarginLab analyzes profitability and provides recommendations, pricing signals and simulation results, but it does not automatically modify live product prices, costs or discounts.
Merchants remain in control of every change made inside Shopify.
MarginLab identifies the product as having missing cost data. Without a valid Cost of Goods Sold value, product profit and margin cannot be evaluated reliably.
Missing costs are therefore treated as a data-quality priority rather than as proof that a product is profitable or unprofitable.
The Profit Leak Score is a store-level indicator that summarizes several profitability risks, including losing products, missing costs, low-margin products and overall margin performance.
It is designed to provide a fast overview, while the detailed product and Profit Intelligence sections explain the issues behind the score.
The AI Advisor receives a structured summary of the profitability signals analyzed by MarginLab. It uses that context to explain store health, highlight the main risks, suggest what to check first and identify possible profit opportunities.
It provides analysis and recommendations, not automatic business decisions.
No. The Recovery Simulator estimates the potential effect of selected price, cost and margin changes using the available product data and historical sales volume.
Actual results may differ because future demand, customer response, discounts, refunds, product mix and business costs can change.
Starter includes the core profitability areas: Dashboard, Product Analysis, Profit Intelligence and period comparisons.
It is designed for merchants who want reliable store and product-level visibility without the advanced AI, simulation and planning tools included in Growth.
Growth includes everything in Starter and adds AI Advisor, Recommendations, Recovery Simulator, Forecasting and Profit Assumptions.
It is intended for merchants who want more help interpreting profitability data, evaluating improvement scenarios and planning future performance.
MarginLab offers a 14-day free trial through Shopify Billing. The trial allows merchants to review the available features and confirm whether the app fits their profitability workflow before continuing with a paid subscription.
