From shop connection to profit insight — step by step
No technical knowledge required. Most users see their first profit figures within 10 minutes, then continue building step by step toward a complete financial overview.
Step 1: Connect your WooCommerce shop
Enter your shop URL and WooCommerce API keys. WowProfit.io retrieves your orders, products and customer data via the official REST API — you don’t need to install anything on your WordPress site.
- Works with any WooCommerce installation (read-only keys are sufficient)
- Multiple shops? Add them all and compare them side by side
- Figures come live from your shop, even with hundreds of thousands of orders
- Webhook support for new orders in near real time
Step 2: Add your cost prices and margins
Add the purchase price per product — once, or in bulk from the product overview. From that moment on, WowProfit.io automatically calculates your true gross margin on every sale.
- Bulk editing and search for large catalogs
- Automatic COGS calculation per order line
- Margin alert for products selling below cost
- Cost price history is preserved for fair period comparison
Step 3: Add your fixed and variable costs
Ad budget, shipping costs, staff, hosting, payment provider fees: record them by category and period. That way, “revenue” turns into a real net result.
- Cost categories: ads, shipping, staff, hosting, marketing, payment fees, other
- You only need to record recurring costs once
- Google Ads costs can be included automatically
- Everything is automatically included in your profit and loss overview
Step 4: View your profit by period, country and product
The financial overview shows revenue incl. and excl. VAT, costs, gross profit and net profit — by month, quarter or year, with comparison to the previous period.
- Actual VAT directly from your shop, per period
- Top products by revenue and margin
- Cost breakdown by category at a glance
- Exportable as Excel or PDF for your accountant
Step 5: Let AI interpret your figures
With your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, WowProfit.io analyzes your revenue, costs and margins and formulates concrete recommendations in your language — not generic tips, but statements about your data.
- You use your own API key: full control over data and costs
- Insights are saved so you can track the evolution
- Growth signals: risers, fallers and products that are fading out
- Alerts for margin decline before it affects your revenue
Step 6: Keep an eye on your competition
With the competition module, you track the prices and assortment of your main competitors and see where you are too expensive or too cheap.
- Track up to 10 competitors
- Periodic scans (weekly or daily)
- Comparison with your own positioning
- Available as an add-on on top of your subscription
