Each channel's orders and profit per £1 of ads last week, applied to the new amount. Real returns usually drop as spend grows, so treat the top of the range with care. A channel that lost money on ads last week shows a loss here too until its ads change.

How these numbers work

The system shows what each product and each channel earns once fees and returns are taken off, and advertising spend too if you record it. You still run your ads in each channel's own ad tools. Record what you spend and this page counts it against the right channel and product. These sample figures take off fees, product cost, postage and ad spend; in the build, refunds come off too. Stockroom items count at your bulk price and your own postage.
