The Profit & Costs tab helps you understand whether a product is generating a dependable, real-world profit once costs and operational friction are considered — and what the safest next move is. It’s designed to protect cash and reduce hidden leakage, rather than “optimise margin” in the abstract.
What this tab is for
Use this tab to:
Check whether your profit position is safe, under watch, or under pressure
Spot margin risk caused by thin costs, inconsistent variants, or operational complexity
Make confident decisions about what to change (or not change) without adding extra day-to-day work
What you’ll see on the tab
1) Profit & Costs Score (dial)
A quick score (0–100) that reflects how safe and resilient your margins are for this type of product—not just how high your margin looks on paper.
2) AI Insight (plain-English summary)
A short explanation of the product’s current profit position, written in practical terms (e.g. whether you have enough buffer, where risk may be hiding, and what that means for how you trade the product).
3) Recommended actions
A short list of practical, low-friction actions to strengthen profit safety (for example, protect margin, simplify the offer, or reduce leakage).
4) Chat with Sprintr AI
Use Chat with Sprintr AI to ask questions such as:
“What’s driving my Profit score?”
“Which option/variant is the weak spot?”
“What change would improve profit safety most?”
5) Profit analysis cards (your numbers)
At the bottom of the tab, you’ll see a simple breakdown of the key inputs and outputs, such as:
Price
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (with an Edit option where available)
Profit per sale
Margin %
These cards show the figures Sprintr is using for the analysis, so you can quickly verify whether anything needs updating.
How it works (high level)
Sprintr’s profit analysis is intentionally grounded and conservative:
It’s category-aware (different product types have different fee/shipping/returns realities).
It looks across the whole product structure, so one thin option doesn’t quietly drag down the product.
It focuses on margin safety and resilience, not theoretical optimisation.
It won’t invent context it doesn’t have (competitor pricing, sales forecasts, ad performance and stock pressure are handled elsewhere in Sprintr).
When it updates
Profit & Costs analysis refreshes automatically:
when you first connect your store,
when a new listing is added, and
whenever a product’s price or cost changes (in your marketplace or in Sprintr).
