Reports (profit & loss)
See revenue, costs, fees, returns and true profit by SKU, ASIN or order for any date range, and drill into any item.
What it's for
Reports is your profit and loss (P&L) report. For any date range it shows, per SKU, ASIN or order: units, orders, revenue, cost of goods, marketplace fees, shipping, return costs and the profit and margin left over. Account-level costs that can't be split per item (such as advertising and storage fees) are included in the total, so the bottom line is your true profit.

Unidentified fees & misc.

Tips and troubleshooting
- "No data in this range" β try a wider range or a different store.
- By posted date and By ship date can't see orders that haven't shipped, so Include open orders only matters with By order date.
- Searching for a SKU hides the account-level fees row, because those fees belong to the whole account.
- Your column choices are saved in your browser, so they come back next time on the same computer.
