Unit Economics & Calculation Rules
Complete transparent guide explaining how every order deduction, gateway commission, packaging tier, and net profit metric is computed.
Core Master Profitability Formula
Real Net Retained Profit = Gross Sales - (COGS + Gateway Fee + Shopify 2% Fee + Packaging + Flat Delivery + OpEx)
1. Payment Gateway Commissions
+ 2% Shopify Platform Fee| Gateway | Gateway Rate | Shopify Fee | Total Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayHere | 3.3% | 2.0% | 5.3% |
| KOKO BNPL | 12.0% | 2.0% | 14.0% |
| Mintpay / Payzy | 10.0% | 2.0% | 12.0% |
| Cash on Delivery (COD) | 1.0% | 0.0% (Excluded) | 1.0% |
Billing Note: The 2.0% Shopify platform fee is billed separately on Glowhub's monthly Shopify subscription invoice. Payment gateways deposit funds into your bank account after deducting only their own gateway commission fee. The 2% fee is displayed in P&L for complete unit economics viewing.
