Produce Month-End Channel Profitability Audit
Know which channels are actually profitable — net of all costs — at the end of every month.
ROAS tells you revenue per ad dollar — but it doesn't tell you whether a channel is profitable after platform fees, fulfillment costs, return rates, and payment processing are factored in. PayHelm's month-end profitability audit builds a full P&L for each sales and marketing channel, calculating gross revenue, cost of goods, channel fees (Amazon/eBay commission, Shopify subscription), ad spend, shipping costs, and return costs — producing a true net contribution margin per channel so you know which ones are actually worth operating.
