Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Gross Profit and Net Profit in e-commerce?
Gross profit only subtracts the direct cost of making the product (COGS). Net profit subtracts everything: product costs, shipping, advertising, software subscriptions, merchant fees, and staff wages.
What is a strong net profit margin for an e-commerce business?
A net profit margin of 15% to 25% is considered healthy and sustainable in e-commerce. Brands operating below 10% are vulnerable to sudden ad cost spikes or supply chain disruptions.
