Where the money goes, without the mystery.
Store programs work better when the economics are easy to explain. This page shows the flow from customer checkout to costs to net proceeds.
Example: customer buys a $25 T-shirt
A simple order breakdown.
An illustrative example of how one store transaction breaks down.
What The Buyer Pays
Order total
Product $25.00 + shipping $6.40 + sales tax $1.57 = $32.97. This is the full amount collected at checkout. Every line is visible to the buyer before they confirm the order.
What The Order Costs
Total costs
Cost of goods $17.01 + shipping $6.40 + sales tax $1.57 = $24.98. Production and delivery are covered here, along with the tax that gets remitted. Nothing in this column is margin.
What Comes Back
Net proceeds
Product margin $9.25 - Stripe fee $1.26 = $7.99. That is what remains from this single order once costs and processing are covered. Multiply it across a program and the store economics become easy to explain.
Your store’s financial co-pilot
Cleaner proceeds. Less reconciliation fog.
SSM helps manage store revenue, applies proceeds where needed for hosting/setup costs, accounts for gift card considerations, and helps make payout requests more straightforward.
