A marketplace can look busy and still lose money once fees, ads, refunds and the real cost of each unit are counted. Channel profit shows a column per marketplace, in its own currency, from sales down to profit, and every listing's price beside its cost, fees and margin.

## Per marketplace

From sales down to profit after fees, ads, cost of goods and your own costs.

- A column per marketplace, in its own currency
- All channels together in your main currency
- Your own costs per channel, such as software or agency fees
- Ad spend from Amazon Ads and TACOS beside each marketplace

## Per product, after ads

By product: each product's profit after fees, cost and its own ads, the ones losing money first.

- Break-even ACOS and break-even cost per click for every advertised product
- See Profit after ads

## Per listing

Each linked SKU's Amazon price next to what a unit costs you.

- See Amazon's fees, your profit and margin before you change a price
- Then see whether Amazon applied it

## How it works

1. **Connect and post.** Marketplaces connected and settlements posted.
2. **Add cost of goods.** Stock and cost of goods sold, for profit after the product's cost.
3. **Read the columns.** Channel profit, for any period.

## Questions

### Does it need stock to work?

No, but without cost of goods it shows profit before the product's cost. Stock adds the real cost of each unit sold.
