There is an increasingly complex ecosystem of necessary tools and platforms required to maintain market competitiveness. Worse, these critical data sources continue to grow more disparate from one another.
At Uncoil, through deep analysis of a Shopify Stores data by the Uncoil data science division and understanding of best practices. We have identified the top 10 core metrics you need to track on a daily basis to ensure the profitability and success of your store. The top metrics are:

Gross Profit — calculated by subtracting attributed ad spend and product costs from gross revenue.

Product Cost — product cost is the total cost of all product(s) sold. It is calculated by adding up COGS, shipping and fulfillment for all units sold.
