Revenue is what your customers pay. Profit is what you keep after subtracting all costs including Shopify fees, product costs, shipping, ad spend, and refunds.
What is a good profit margin for Shopify?+
Most successful Shopify stores target 20-35% net margins. Below 15% leaves little room for growth. Below 10% is often unsustainable with ad spend.
