Getting started

See your first profit number

Last updated 2 April 2026

Getting to a real profit figure requires four data streams: orders, channel fees, payment fees, and cost of goods. Meridia handles the first three automatically; you supply COGS.

The flow

Once a channel is connected and COGS is populated, open Dashboard → Profit. You'll see true profit per order, per SKU, per channel, and in aggregate — all for the selected date range.

What "true profit" means

We subtract everything Meridia can see: the marketplace's take rate, listing fees, payment processor fees, shipping (where known), advertising cost, refunds, and COGS. The remainder is what actually hits your bank account.

Checking a single order

Click any row to see the breakdown. Every deduction is traceable to a source — for a Shopify order, you'll see the exact line items from the Shopify Payments payout, the ad click that led to it (if any), and the linked purchase order for COGS.

If a number looks off

Usually it's one of three things: — COGS is missing for that SKU (shows with a warning icon). — A channel fee hasn't synced yet (orders show as "pending reconciliation"). — You have a manual refund or discount Meridia can't see (add it to the order via the override button).
