Set your Margins and Costs
The Profit and Costs page is where you manage the margin and cost settings Sprintr uses across your store. You can choose which margin type Sprintr should use for analysis, create reusable margin presets, add reusable cost presets, and apply those settings across products.
What this page is for
Use this page to:
choose the margin type Sprintr should use for each store
create and manage target margin presets
add reusable product and selling costs
apply costs and margin presets across your listings
improve the accuracy of Profit and Pricing insights by giving Sprintr a fuller picture of your unit economics
This is an account-level settings page, not a per-product editing page. If you want to review the effect on an individual item, you’ll see that on the product’s Profit & Costs tab.
What you’ll see on the page
The page has three main sections:
Margin Presets
Optimisation Margin Type
Cost Presets
Margin Presets
Margin presets let you save target margin rules that can be reused across products. By default, AI optimised, which automatically sets a target margin for your product, is set. You can add as many manual margins as you wish and then allocate them across all listings or selected listings.
AI-powered margin presets
An AI-powered margin preset lets Sprintr set target margins dynamically rather than using one fixed percentage for every product.
You may see this shown with labels such as AI Optimized or Recommended.
Fixed margin presets
A fixed margin preset is a manual target percentage that you define yourself.
For example:
Store Default – 30%
Holiday Promo – 25%
Luxury Brand – 45%
What you can do
In this section, you can:
view your saved margin presets
create a new preset
apply a preset across products
apply a preset to selected listings, where available
Optimisation Margin Type
This section controls which margin type Sprintr uses for analysis and targets for each store. The selected margin type becomes the default used across profit cards, margin cards, AI analysis, and related pricing logic.
Sprintr supports two margin types:
Contribution Margin
This is based on revenue minus:
product costs
selling costs
Gross Margin
This is based on revenue minus:
product costs only
Important things to know
New stores default to Contribution Margin
Margin type is set at store level
In this version, there is no product-level override
If you have not added any selling costs, Contribution Margin and Gross Margin may show the same result until those costs are added
After changing a store’s margin type, click Apply to save. Changes are not saved automatically.
Cost Presets
Cost presets let you define reusable costs that Sprintr can use in profit and margin calculations. These can then be applied across relevant products instead of being added manually one by one.
Sprintr groups costs into:
Product Costs
Selling Costs
Within those groups, costs are organised into categories and individual cost items. Common examples include:
Packaging
Labour
Platform Fees
Marketing
Shipping
Add a new cost preset
To create a new cost item, enter:
Cost Name
Category
Cost Type
Amount
Amount type: currency or percentage
Then select Add to List.
A description field may also be available, depending on how the page is configured.
Currency and percentage costs
Each cost can be saved as either:
a fixed currency amount
a percentage value
This lets you model both flat costs and variable costs more accurately.
Editing and applying costs
Once a cost is saved, you can manage it from its category block. Depending on the setup, you may be able to update the amount, unit type, and other details inline. You can also apply saved costs across relevant products in the current store.
Link to store unit cost
If your connected store already contains a cost-of-item or unit cost value, Sprintr may show a notice letting you link that value for use in profit calculations.
When Link to store cost of item is turned on:
Sprintr uses the synced store cost-of-item as the product’s Unit Cost where available
When it is turned off:
Sprintr does not automatically use the synced store cost-of-item value in Unit Cost calculations
If your marketplace does not provide cost-of-item data, this notice may not appear.
Apply to All and Apply to Selected
Some sections on this page let you apply a margin preset or cost rule more broadly.
Apply to All
This applies the selected preset or cost rule to all relevant products in the current store.
Apply to Selected
This lets you apply a preset or cost rule to selected listings rather than the whole store, where available.
These actions affect the current store context, not every store in your account.
Using this page with multiple stores
The page is store-aware, so if you have more than one connected store, you can set the optimisation margin type separately for each store. Margin presets and cost presets can still be reused more broadly across your account.
Why this page matters
Your settings on this page shape the way Sprintr analyses profit and pricing.
For example, Sprintr uses these settings to understand:
which margin type to assess
what target margin to compare against
which product and selling costs should be included
how much room a product has for pricing changes before margin comes under pressure
That means changes you make here can affect what you see on both the Profit & Costs tab and the Pricing & Competitors tab.
In short
The Profit and Costs page is where you tell Sprintr how to think about profitability in your business.
Use it to:
choose your store’s margin type
save target margin presets
add reusable cost presets
apply those settings at scale
The more accurately this page reflects your real costs and margin goals, the more useful your profit and pricing insights will be.
