WooCommerce plugin. In development.
A WooCommerce profit report built on your own cost of goods sold
Profit Reports for WooCommerce shows net profit and gross margin by product, with cost of goods sold and payment gateway fees both subtracted, inside the WordPress admin.
What It Does
WooCommerce tells you what you sold. It does not tell you what you kept. Revenue by product is a number every store already has, and on its own it routinely points owners at the wrong products.
Profit Reports for WooCommerce records a cost of goods sold figure against each product, reads the payment gateway fee attached to each order, and reports the result as WooCommerce net profit and gross margin by product and by date range. The reporting runs in the WordPress admin. There is no external service, no data export and no monthly subscription to a reporting platform.
The point is not more charts. It is that the ranking changes. Once supplier cost and gateway fees are in the calculation, the product at the top of your revenue report is often not the product at the top of your profit report, and the discount you run every month may be costing you money on the item you sell most.
The Problem It Solves
Working out true profit per product in WooCommerce is a manual job. Export the orders, paste in supplier costs, find the gateway fees on a separate statement, reconcile refunds, build the pivot. Most owners do it once, find it painful, and then run the store on revenue and instinct instead.
That gap is where margin quietly disappears:
- A best selling product with a thin margin outranks a slow seller that earns more per unit
- Supplier cost rises are absorbed silently because nothing in WooCommerce tracks them
- Payment gateway fees are treated as a lump business cost rather than attributed per product
- Discounts and bundles are set on revenue impact rather than margin impact
- The accountant produces a profit figure months later, aggregated across everything
Key Features
Scoped around one job rather than bundled into an analytics suite.
Profit and margin by product
Net profit and gross margin reported per product and per date range, not just aggregate store revenue.
Cost of goods sold per product
A COGS figure recorded against each product, so the profit calculation uses your real costs rather than an assumed markup.
Gateway fees deducted
The payment gateway fee each order actually paid is subtracted, rather than ignored or averaged across the store.
Who It Is For
- Store owners who have outgrown revenue reporting and need to know what they keep
- Stores with real supplier costs, where margin varies meaningfully between products
- Agencies and developers maintaining WooCommerce stores for clients who ask profit questions
- Anyone currently answering the profit question in a spreadsheet every month

Frequently Asked Questions
Does WooCommerce not already report profit?
WooCommerce Analytics reports revenue, orders and some cost figures, but it has no native concept of your cost of goods sold and does not attribute payment gateway fees per order. Without both, what you get is a revenue report, not a profit report.
Where does the cost of goods sold figure come from?
You supply it. A COGS figure is recorded against each product, which is what makes the resulting margin real rather than an assumed percentage. Exactly how costs are entered and updated in bulk will be documented at release.
How are payment gateway fees handled?
The fee attached to each order is deducted from that order’s contribution, so the profit figure reflects what actually landed rather than the order total. Which gateways are supported at launch will be listed on this page at release.
Will it work on a store with years of existing orders?
Historical reporting depends on cost data existing for the products involved, and on the gateway fee information available on older orders. Behaviour on historical data will be documented at release rather than promised now.
Is it a WooCommerce profit margin plugin or a full analytics suite?
Deliberately the former. It answers profit and margin by product. It is not trying to replace WooCommerce Analytics or a business intelligence tool.
When will it be released, and what will it cost?
No release date or price has been announced. If you want to be told when it ships, or you have a specific reporting requirement while the scope is still open, get in touch.
WooCommerce Profit Report by Seninweb
A WooCommerce profit report answers a question the platform leaves open: of everything this store sold, what did it actually keep? WooCommerce records the order total, the tax and the shipping. It does not know what you paid your supplier, and it does not attribute the payment processor’s cut to the individual order that generated it. Those two figures are the difference between revenue and profit, and they are the reason a WooCommerce cost of goods sold report has to be built rather than switched on.
Profit Reports for WooCommerce is being built to close that gap. It stores a COGS value per product, deducts the gateway fee each order paid, and reports WooCommerce net profit and gross margin by product and over a date range. The output is a profit by product view in the WordPress admin, so the question can be answered on a Tuesday afternoon rather than at the end of a quarter.
The stores that feel this most are the ones with variable margins across their catalogue: mixed supplier terms, products where shipping eats the difference, or a bestseller carried at near cost to drive volume. In all three cases the revenue report and the margin report disagree, and only one of them should be setting your pricing and promotion decisions.
The plugin is in development. There is no download, version number or price yet, and this page will carry all three when it ships, along with installation steps and a changelog. It is listed alongside our other WordPress plugins. If profit reporting on your own cost of goods sold is something your store needs, telling us now is worth more than telling us later, because the scope is still open.
