How profit is worked out
Pick a period and the page shows gross revenue, cost of goods, courier and expenses, and the profit left. A bar shows what share of revenue each part takes.
| Part | Where the number comes from |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Order totals, without cancelled or returned orders |
| Cost of goods | Cost per item you enter on each product |
| Courier cost | Shipped parcels times one flat cost per parcel |
| Expenses | Entries you add on the Expenses tab |
Set the courier cost per parcel in Settings. The default is Rs 180. Real courier rates vary by city and weight, so this is an estimate.
Expenses you can record
Add an amount, a date, a category and an optional note. The categories are fixed.
- Ads
- Packaging
- Salaries
- Rent
- Utilities
- Stock purchase
- Software
- Other
You can delete a wrong entry. Totals update for the period you have selected. Put Meta ad spend under Ads to see how much of revenue it takes.
COD settlement ledger
Pakistani sellers wait for couriers to pay COD cash. The ledger lists delivered COD orders not yet settled, grouped by courier.
- Pending payout per courier.
- Cash in transit on parcels not yet delivered.
- Ageing: 0 to 7 days, 8 to 14 days, 15 or more days.
- Select orders and mark them settled when the money arrives.
An order stays on the list until you settle it. This makes late couriers easy to spot, because old rows move into the 15 or more days band.
Limits
Profit is only as good as your inputs. If a product has no cost, its cost of goods is zero and profit looks too high. This is not full bookkeeping. There is no tax, payroll or bank sync.
Stock purchases are recorded as an expense you type in. They are not linked to inventory.
