How profit per order is calculated
Start from what the customer paid and take off everything the order cost you. What is left is yours.

The formula
Profit per order = what the customer paid − cost per item − shipping cost − payment fee − tax collected − ad cost per order
Profit margin is that profit divided by what the customer paid. The price counts with its tax, and the tax then comes out as a cost, because it was never yours to keep.
Cost per item is the cost you set on a product in Shopify. For an order of several items, add their costs together. Ad cost per order is your ad spend divided by the number of orders those ads brought in.
The payment fee is a percentage of what the customer paid plus a fixed amount. Type the two numbers from your own payment provider's statement: this page doesn't know them, and the example's are made up.

What the number leaves out
Fixed costs. Rent, salaries, and software cost the same however many orders you take, so no single order carries them here.
Returns. A refunded order gives the price back, and the shipping and the ad are still paid for.
Discounts that aren't in the price. Type what the customer paid after any discount code, or the profit here is too high.
