Revenue won't warn you.
This will.

Your store can be profitable and still run dry overnight — a chargeback freeze, a refund spike, a restock at the wrong time. Profit Gauge catches it days early, on a dial that sits on your desk.

The instrument

Built to catch the punch, not chart the trend.

Runway

The needle is your runway.

Days of cash left, as a position you read in half a second — a state to feel, not a number to decode.

Readout

The screen is your numbers.

WEEK+$713
Privacy

No bank login. Ever.

You type your cash. We read Shopify.

Sync

Live from Shopify in 5 minutes.

Read-only by design — orders, payouts, fees, disputes; the connection can't write to your store.

Always-on

It alarms you — you don't check it.

Sits on your desk watching; taps you only when your cash is about to move — the opposite of a dashboard you open once a month.

The feature no dashboard has

It warns you before your payouts get frozen.

Here's the nightmare: a run of chargebacks trips your payment processor, and it locks your payouts — money you already earned, frozen with no notice. It's the fastest way a profitable store dies. Profit Gauge sees it building and gives you days to act.

Trouble building up

When chargebacks start creeping toward the danger zone, we flag it — before they trip a freeze.

Money about to be locked

We show how much of your cash is still in Shopify's hands waiting to land — the part at risk if a hold hits.

What's coming

Your big bills and restocks on one simple calendar, so no drop lands by surprise.

Why it's different

Survival, not another dashboard.

Every other profit tool

  • Tells you what already happened to your profit
  • A dashboard you open when calm, skip when slammed
  • Buries the one question under vanity metrics
  • Wants a bank login to see your cash

Profit Gauge

  • Warns what's about to happen to your survival
  • Always on your desk — it alarms you
  • One honest "are we okay," plus the lever to fix it
  • No bank link, ever — you type cash, we read Shopify
Setup

Reading true in about five minutes.

We already know your money coming in. You just hand us the two things Shopify can't see.

Connect Shopify

One click, read-only. Sales, fees, refunds, disputes. No bank login.

Bring your costs

Paste into our template or answer a few questions. Skip what you don't have — a sensible default fills in, refine later.

Set your cash

Type your balance and the buffer you won't dip below. From there the gauge keeps itself current.

Why we're building this

"Nobody opens a dashboard on a good day. The numbers that decide whether you survive deserve a place on your desk — something you feel, that taps you on the shoulder before it's too late, not one more tab you forget to check."

— built by a team out of fintech consumer-money risk & fraud

Questions

The honest answers.

Do you connect to my bank?

No — and never will. You type your cash balance yourself; we read sales and payouts from Shopify. No Plaid, no bank login, no account numbers.

What data do you read from Shopify?

Read-only: orders, payouts, fees, and disputes — that's what computes your runway and spots payout-freeze risk early. We never write to your store.

Do I really have to hand my numbers to another startup I don't know?

Less than it feels. We hold the minimum — a read-only Shopify connection plus the costs and cash you type. No bank login, no account numbers, nothing that can move money; the access we request can't write to your store, only read it. Cancel and we stop pulling; ask us to delete and it's gone. Encrypted in transit and at rest.

What does the cloud do — and why $72/year?

The gauge on your desk is the dial; the cloud is the brain. It securely connects to Shopify, pulls your orders, payouts, fees and disputes on a schedule, and does the real work — computing runway, watching your dispute rate for freeze risk, tracking cash in transit, and mapping the cliffs ahead — then pushes the result to your gauge and fires the alerts. The first year is included. After that, a planned $72/year keeps the live sync and freeze warning running. Cancel anytime — the freeze warning and live sync switch off and the gauge goes dormant until you reconnect. Your data and settings are kept, so plugging back in picks up right where you left off.

Which platforms work at launch?

Shopify first. Other channels come later. The freeze warning uses Shopify Payments data; core runway works regardless.

Are you taking payment now?

No. Reserving is free — just your email. We'll only take payment once pre-orders open, under clear terms, and you'll see the price and ship window before anything is charged. No card needed to hold your spot.

When does it ship?

We're reserving now and building for earliest backers. You'll get a clear ship window by email before any balance is charged. [Update with your target window.]
