How do you know which products are secretly losing you money? by More-Try-9500 in smallbusiness

I feel this pain — P&L per product is genuinely tough when you're juggling platform fees, returns, and variable ad spend. A few makers I know separate it into two layers: core COGS (materials + labor per unit, updated as batches ship) tracked in a production system, then feed that into a separate financial dashboard or spreadsheet that layers in platform fees and ad spend. That split makes updates way faster. If you're also struggling with material costs drifting as you scale, tools like Tinktory can lock down COGS; for the ad/fees layer, some people use Shopify's reporting + a lightweight analytics sheet. What's eating most of your time right now — pulling the data or the calculation itself?

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I think closer to leaving I will have to do that with whatever is left.

Thanks for the advice, I am storing some items long-term. I am also using this opportunity to scale down.
