    E-commerce Profit Leak Scanner

    Example session with this skill installed

    I sell a gadget for $45 on Shopify. Product cost is $12 including inbound freight and packaging. I pay $8 outbound shipping, $10 advertising per acquired order, and 3% payment/platform fees. My refund rate is 5%, with an average $20 loss per refunded order. Price excludes tax retained for authorities. Scan for profit leaks.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the e-commerce profit leak

    Executive result

    The product is contribution-positive but sensitive to advertising and shipping costs. This is not net profit because payroll, software, overhead, financing and income tax were not provided.

    Data quality

    Confirmed inputs: $45 selling price, $12 landed product cost, $8 seller-paid shipping, 3% transaction fees, $10 CAC, 5% refund rate and $20 loss per refund. No missing input blocks this unit-level estimate.

    Per-order economics

    Selling price$45.00

    Landed product cost-$12.00
    Outbound shipping-$8.00
    Expected refund loss-$1.00

    Top profit leaks

    Advertising cost — high confidence. CAC consumes $1,000 per 100 acquired orders. Test a small creative or audience change and compare CAC without changing the full campaign.
    2.

    Seller-paid shipping — high confidence. Shipping consumes $800 per 100 orders. Compare carrier and packaging alternatives before changing the customer offer.
    3.

    Refund loss — medium confidence. Expected impact is $100 per 100 orders. Segment refund reasons before assuming the rate can be reduced.

    Break-even limits

    Break-even CAC is $22.65. Break-even ROAS is approximately 1.99x. With other inputs fixed, the maximum price reduction before contribution after ads reaches zero is $12.65, or 28.1%.

    Next checks

    • Confirm whether any Shopify subscription or app fees should be allocated per order.
    • Segment CAC by channel and new versus returning customer.
    • Compare the highest-volume SKU using the same inputs.

    Add overhead or another SKU to extend the analysis.

    About this skill

    The problem

    E-commerce sellers often lose margins to "hidden" costs like payment processing fees, shipping subsidies, and ad spend that aren't visible in simple revenue dashboards. Identifying exactly why a product is losing money requires complex unit economic modeling that is prone to manual error.

    What it does

    • Audits unit economics across Shopify, Amazon, and Etsy to identify specific profit leaks.
    • Calculates contribution margins, break-even CAC, and ROAS thresholds based on real data.
    • Models "what-if" scenarios for price changes, shipping subsidies, and ad spend adjustments.
    • Ranks leaks by financial impact and confidence level using seller-provided inputs.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General-purpose prompts often miss granular e-commerce variables like refund loss rates or currency conversion fees. This skill enforces a strict logic for landed costs and contribution margins, ensuring you never mistake gross profit for net income or ignore variable platform fees.

    Use cases

    • Conducting a pre-launch margin audit for a new SKU or product line.
    • Diagnosing why a high-revenue listing is yielding zero actual cash flow.
    • Calculating the maximum allowable ad spend before a campaign becomes loss-making.
    • Evaluating the impact of offering "Free Shipping" on bottom-line profitability.
