Free CSV profit review

Find low-margin products before they quietly drain profit

Upload a sanitized marketplace sales CSV through the review request form. MarginPilot will run an initial automated check for low-margin SKUs, high ad cost, shipping drag, return reserves, and price-review candidates.

Recommended next step

What to do after the free review

If the CSV review surfaces recurring margin pressure, move into a dedicated profit dashboard or compare whether more owned-channel volume would improve your unit economics.

Profit monitor

Track real product profit after the calculator

When the estimate looks promising, move into SKU-level profit tracking so ad spend, shipping drift, and refunds do not quietly erase margin.

Owned channel

Compare marketplace margin with your own store

If marketplace fees are heavy, test whether a direct Shopify checkout gives you more room after payment fees, shipping, and repeat purchase potential.

CSV columns to prepare

Use these columns when possible. If your export has different names, include the closest available fields and mention the marketplace in your request.

What happens after upload

  • The form submission is sent securely to MarginPilot's Worker webhook.
  • The CSV is downloaded, parsed, and grouped by SKU or product name.
  • An initial review summary is emailed to you and to the site operator for follow-up.

Good fit

  • Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, eBay, or marketplace sellers reviewing product-level profit.
  • Sellers who already know product cost or can estimate landed cost.
  • Stores trying to decide which products deserve more ad spend or price testing.

Recommended next step

If you want a dedicated profit dashboard after the free review, TrueProfit is a useful option for tracking product profit, ad spend, shipping cost, and store-level net margin. MarginPilot may earn a commission if you sign up through this link.

Important privacy note

Remove customer names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, card data, and order notes before sharing any CSV. The review only needs product-level financial fields, not buyer personal information.

How this connects to MarginPilot Pro

The free review is a lightweight way to test the workflow before a recurring profit monitor. If the CSV review is useful, MarginPilot Pro can later turn the same checks into a repeatable monthly process.

Terms used in the review

  • Breakeven Price

    Breakeven price is the minimum sale price needed to cover product cost, fees, shipping, ads, returns, and reserves.

  • Marketplace Referral Fee

    A marketplace referral fee is the commission a marketplace charges on a sale, often varying by category and region.

  • ROAS

    ROAS means return on ad spend, but ecommerce sellers should compare it with contribution margin before scaling ads.
