Reading your P&L Answer 12 of 36 Updated

What does the Overview show?

The Overview shows how your store is doing today and this month. It always uses your store's own time zone. To look at any other days, open the P&L.

At the top sits Profit today, so far: what your store has earned today, after every cost. Beside it, the chart Daily profit shows the last 14 days. Under it are four small figures for today: Net revenue, Orders, Marketing and MER.

Below that come the cards for the month. This month pays for itself shows the day this month's sales covered your fixed costs. Where the money goes shows what each kind of cost took from this month's sales. Needs your attention lists anything that keeps a number from being complete. That can be a product with no cost, or an ad platform whose access ends within a week.

With several stores selected, every figure adds the stores up. A card called Stores in this view then lists each store's own profit today, its month so far and its EBITDA margin. Click a row to open that store alone. Each item under Needs your attention then names the store it is about.

The sync badge and the Sync now button sit at the top. After you press Sync now, a card shows what came in since your last sync. While a change you made is being worked in, a note says Updating the numbers.
