Shoply: Apps ROI TrackerComing soon
Do your sales apps pay for themselves?
Bundle, upsell and free-gift apps cost money every month. See which ones earn it back and which to cancel, with sales and profit margin stats for each app.
Why merchants like it
Know which apps to keep, and which to cancel
The problem
Sales apps cost money every month. Few stores know if they earn it back.
Their own dashboards show "influenced sales", not the real extra profit.
You pay every month
Subscriptions and fees add up across apps.
"Influenced sales" isn't profit
An order may have been just as big without the app.
Giveaways have a cost
Discounts and free gifts come out of your margin.
How it works
Three steps, from your own orders
Find your sales apps
It spots every app that makes discounts or marks your orders.
Compare with regular orders
Are orders with the app bigger than regular ones?
Keep, review or cancel
Extra profit minus price, fees and free gifts tells you which apps earn their keep.
What you'll see
Every sales app, side by side
Example store with made-up apps. Numbers for illustration, worked out with a 40% margin.
App check-up
Keep it, review it, or cancel it
Each app's result over the last 7, 30 and 60 days, and what to do next.

Statistics
See the trend, and where apps overlap
Sales, profit or orders week by week, with every app in its own colour. And the orders where two apps, or two discounts, meet, so you don't pay twice for one sale.
BundleBee grew every week. Hide or show any app, and switch between sales, profit and orders.
Two apps on one order both take the credit. If two apps often meet, check whether they do the same job.
Example store with made-up apps. Numbers for illustration. Every table sorts by clicking a column name, and you can arrange the sections in the order you like.
How ROI is worked out
Simple maths you can check
For each sales app
- Extra sales = (its average order − regular average order) × its orders
- Extra profit = extra sales × your margin
- App cost = its price for the period + any % fee on its sales + free gifts' cost (optional)
- Net gain = extra profit − app cost, and ROI = net gain ÷ app cost
Average order €51.00 vs €42.00 regular: +€9.00 × 96 orders = €864 extra sales
× 40% margin = €345.60 extra profit
− €49.00 monthly price = €296.60
Made-up app and numbers for illustration. Your margin comes from your product costs, your own figure, or 40% by default.

FAQ
Questions about Apps ROI Tracker
Which sales apps does it recognise?
Any app that creates discounts in your store is found by itself. Popular bundle and free-gift apps are also recognised from the markers they leave on orders.
Will it change anything in my store?
No. It only asks Shopify for permission to read orders, discounts, products and your theme settings. It never edits products, prices or orders.
How does it decide if an app pays for itself?
It compares the average order with each app against your regular orders, turns the difference into extra profit using your margin, and subtracts what the app costs you: its price, any fee it takes on sales, and the cost of free gifts if you choose to count them.
Do I need to enter my product costs?
No. If your products have a cost per item, it works out your margin from them. Otherwise you can enter your own margin, or it uses 40% until you do.
How reliable are the numbers?
They come from your own orders from the last 60 days. Every result says how sure it is (Sure, Fairly sure, Could be chance or Too few orders), and when an app needs more time, it tells you about how many more orders and weeks.
