Profit per order
Start with fully loaded contribution after product, fulfillment, fees, expected returns and acquisition cost.
Decision map
Use the number to answer a business question.
Each tool on Profit Per Order exposes its assumptions. The purpose of this hub is to connect those formulas instead of treating every metric in isolation.
Free tools
Calculate with your own inputs.
Worked guidance
Read the model before you use the threshold.
These guides use explicit formulas, assumptions and worked examples. They are planning references, not market benchmarks.
Discount vs Bundle: Which Promotion Protects More Profit?
Compare a straight percentage discount with a bundle that raises order value, using contribution per order rather than revenue lift as the decision metric.
Free Shipping Threshold Examples for Three Margin Profiles
Compare low-, medium- and high-margin products to see why one universal free-shipping threshold can quietly destroy contribution.
