Catalog check: find the products that lose money

The Catalog check takes a list of your products with their price and cost, adds the fees of your platform, and marks every product as losing money, thin or healthy. For the weak ones it shows the price that would give you your target margin.

Try it with sample data first

1. 1Open Catalog check and press Try with sample data.
2. 2Ten example products appear in Step 2. Change any price or cost and the results update straight away.
3. 3Read Step 3. Red rows lose money. The last column shows a suggested price.

Use your own products

1. 1Get a file. Shopify: Products, Export. WooCommerce: Products, Export. No export? Press Download example CSV, replace the example rows with yours, save it.
2. 2Press Choose CSV file and pick it. The page tells you which columns it read: name, price and cost.
3. 3Fill in any empty costs in the table, or type an assumed cost percent under Step 4 if you do not know them.
4. 4Under Step 4 pick your platform so its fees are added, and set your target margin.
5. 5Read the results. Press Download results CSV to keep them.

Watch out. A file with no cost column cannot be checked, because we cannot guess what the product costs you. Add a Cost column, or fill the cost cells in the table.

Tip. Your file is read in your browser. It is not uploaded or stored.

If nothing happens

• Make sure the first row of your file has headers like Name (or Title) and Price.
• Save the file as CSV, not as an Excel .xlsx file.
• Press Type products myself to add rows by hand and see how it works.
