What did your Shopify store actually make last month?

Shopify alone can't answer that. Papercrane's AI agent joins your store with Stripe, Klaviyo, and your books, then builds a hosted dashboard your whole team can open.

You have hit this wall before

The report that isn't there

Custom reports live on higher Shopify plans, and even there you build inside Shopify's fields. This morning's question doesn't fit them.

The spreadsheet ritual

Export orders, paste in processor fees and product costs, repair the formulas. Two hours later you have a number, and you'll do it again next month.

The analytics shelf

Profit tracking is one app, LTV another, custom reports a third. That line on your app bill runs $150 to $500 a month before you've asked a single new question.

Where “Total sales” goes

Shopify's headline number is sales, not what you made. The rest of the answer lives in four other systems, and Papercrane connects to all of them.

Net profit, July

Example month

For most stores this is the first dashboard Papercrane's agent builds, from your numbers, in one conversation.

Ask the questions you stopped asking

What did I actually make last month, after refunds, fees, and returns?

joins Stripe and QuickBooks

Which products get reordered most, and how long between orders?

Who are my top 50 customers by lifetime value, and what did they buy first?

Which discount codes bring in new customers, and which just cut margin on sales I would have made anyway?

Will anything stock out in the next 30 days at current velocity?

Did the last email campaign move revenue, or just clicks?

joins Klaviyo

Every answer comes back as a chart on a live dashboard, not a paragraph you have to trust.

Store performance dashboard built from Shopify data: revenue by day, top products, and orders needing attention

Built by Papercrane's agent from one conversation. Refreshes on its own.

1. Connect your store

2. Ask a question

3. The agent plans, queries, and builds a hosted dashboard

4. It stays live, and errors route back to the agent

Read access to the store data you already have. Nothing to install in your theme.

Three ways to get an answer out of your store

The job	Shopify admin	Exports and spreadsheets	Shopify + Papercrane
Answer a question the standard reports don't cover	Custom reports on higher plans, within Shopify's fields	CSV export, then an evening of pivot tables	Ask it, get a chart in minutes
See profit, not just sales	Sales and discounts only; fees and costs live elsewhere	Paste in Stripe fees and COGS by hand, every month	Joins Stripe, PayPal, and QuickBooks automatically
Share with your team or accountant	Add them as staff, walk them to the report	Email the file, now there are five versions	Send a link to a live dashboard
Keep it current	Current, inside the admin	Stale the moment you export	Refreshes on schedule, stays hosted
When a number looks wrong	Rebuild the report yourself	Find the broken formula	Errors route back to the agent, which fixes the dashboard

The monthly close

A home goods merchant closes her month with one question: store revenue minus refunds, processor fees, and cost of goods from QuickBooks. The answer is a dashboard her accountant now checks instead of emailing her.

The restock call

Sales velocity per SKU against inventory on hand, with a flag when cover drops under 30 days. The reorder happens two weeks earlier than it used to.

The discount audit

Codes ranked by how many genuinely new customers they brought in versus margin given away on repeat buyers. Two codes got retired the same afternoon.

When you don't need us

If the sales overview in Shopify admin answers your questions, keep your money; it's good, it keeps improving, and Sidekick is free. If your whole job is paid ads attribution, a pixel product like Triple Whale is built for that and we are not. Papercrane is worth paying for when the answer spans more than one system, or when the result needs to live somewhere your team, your clients, or your accountant can watch it.
