Profit Guard user manual

A practical guide for using Profit Guard inside Shopify: setup, daily monitoring, alerts, cost coverage, reports, billing, and team routines.

Start with the daily pulse

Open the dashboard first. It tells you whether sync, billing, cost coverage, reports, and alerts are healthy enough for daily work.

Use Alerts to assign, review, resolve, and learn from profit issues instead of letting warnings become a second inbox.

Profit Guard is only as strong as its cost coverage. Import direct costs, supplier contracts, and fallback rules before judging margin.

Install the app, pick a language, approve permissions, and confirm the first sync.

Read store status, billing state, profit pulse, sync activity, and the next recommended action.

Triage margin issues, assign ownership, review evidence, and close the action loop.

Analyze margin by time window, order, SKU, and sales channel.

Maintain direct costs, supplier contracts, fallback rules, and cost import audit history.

Generate daily and weekly summaries, prepare digests, and export report artifacts.

Configure language, notifications, transaction fee assumptions, data export, and uninstall behavior.

Review trial state, current plan, available plans, subscription events, and Shopify managed pricing links.

A practical operating rhythm for store owners, finance teams, and growth teams.
