How is Shopify Profit calculated?

Net Profit = Selling Price - (Product Cost + Shipping + Packaging + Payment Gateway Fee + Marketing Ad Cost + RTO Cost Factor + Tax).

Why should I include RTO (Return to Origin) in calculations?

In Indian e-commerce (COD orders), 15% to 30% of orders get returned. Accounting for reverse shipping penalties and un-recaptured ad spend prevents hidden losses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is Net Profit calculated for a Shopify store?

Net Profit is calculated by subtracting Product Sourcing Cost (COGS), Forward Shipping, Packaging, Payment Gateway Fees, Ad Cost (CAC), RTO Loss Reserve, and GST from your Selling Price.

What is Break-Even ROAS and why is it important?

Break-Even ROAS indicates the minimum Return on Ad Spend required on Meta or Google Ads so that your orders do not incur a financial loss. If your actual ROAS is higher than Break-Even ROAS, your store is profitable.

How does RTO (Return to Origin) impact Shopify profitability in India?

For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders in India, 15% to 25% of orders get returned. RTO increases losses because you pay forward and reverse shipping while wasting ad spend. Factoring in RTO reserve protects your cash flow.
