Quick Start Guide

Getting up and running

After signing up, Shopimize walks you through a short onboarding wizard. It covers the four things you need to do before the numbers make sense: connect your store, set your product costs, link at least one ad platform, and configure your shipping costs.

None of these steps are optional — without them, profit calculations are incomplete.

Step 1: Connect your Shopify store

Go to Integrations in the sidebar and click Connect Shopify. You'll be redirected to Shopify to approve read-only access. After you approve, Shopimize imports your last 90 days of orders automatically. Depending on order volume, this takes between 1 and 5 minutes.

Step 2: Set your product costs (COGS)

Go to Costs → Product Costs. You'll see all your products listed. Enter the cost you paid per unit for each product. If you have many products, use the CSV import — download the template, fill in the "New COGS" column, and upload it back.

This step matters more than any other. Without COGS, every margin figure in the dashboard is wrong.

Step 3: Connect your ad platforms

Go to Integrations and connect whichever platforms you use — Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, and so on. Ad spend pulls in automatically once connected.

Step 4: Set up shipping costs

Go to Costs → Shipping. You can either connect a shipping carrier (ShipStation, Easyship, etc.) or enter a flat cost per order in Costs → Shipping. Both work fine — use whatever matches how you ship.

Once those four things are done, your dashboard will show real profit numbers.
