Shopify profit margin examples for small stores

Use simple Shopify profit margin examples to compare product cost, shipping, fees, ads, and net profit.

Shopify profit margin examples help a small store see whether pricing still works after real order costs are included.

Example one: A product sells for 60. Product cost is 22, shipping is 7, payment and platform costs are 3, and packaging is 2. Profit is 26 and margin is 43.33% before ads.

Example two: The same product uses paid ads at 14 per order. Profit becomes 12 and margin falls to 20%. Revenue did not change, but the acquisition cost changed the business result.

Example three: A bundle sells for 115. Product cost is 48, shipping is 10, fees are 5, packaging is 3, and ads are 18. Profit is 31 and margin is 26.96%.
