Watch your price
come apart.
Every dollar you charge splits into cost, shipping, fees, and what's left is yours. Type, and watch the anatomy of a single order rearrange in real time.
Price needed to net that margin after cost, shipping & fees.
The same order can be a 60% margin and a 150% markup. They are not the same number.
Profit as a share of the selling price. It tells you how much of every dollar you keep, the number that actually protects the business.
Profit as a share of the cost. Useful for pricing off a supplier invoice, but it flatters, a big markup can still be a thin margin.
The default is Shopify Payments' card rate (2.9% + 30¢). On low-priced items that fixed 30¢ is the segment that quietly eats your margin.
This runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Margin is your profit as a share of the selling price; markup is your profit as a share of cost, so the same order can show, say, a 60% margin and a 150% markup. The payment fee defaults to Shopify Payments’ standard online card rate (2.9% + 30c), so adjust it to your plan or gateway.
Numbers looking thinner than you expected? That is usually a pricing or merchandising question more than a development one. We help Shopify brands tighten the economics of their store, from bundling and shipping thresholds to checkout. Talk to us.
Pricing and merchandising is half of what we do.
Victoria Garland Creative is a Shopify-only studio. We fix the economics of the store itself, bundles, shipping thresholds, and a checkout that converts.
