How does DS-Mate calculate the Revenue on an order?

2 min readOrders and Order Details (web dashboard)

DS-Mate calls your profit on an order Revenue. It is what the channel pays you for the order (after marketplace fees, when the channel reports them) minus the supplier cost DS-Mate billed you. It appears once the supplier order has been placed and can be negative.

Steps

  1. Click Orders in the left sidebar and choose a store in the store picker.
  2. Find the Revenue column. Green is a gain, red is a loss. A - means there is no Revenue yet.
  3. To see the parts, click View details (the eye icon) on the order.
  4. In Financial Summary, compare Total (what the buyer paid), Order Earnings (what the channel pays you after its fees, shown once the channel has reported them) and Revenue.
  5. Under Order Items, each item's Financial Details shows its Supplier Cost once it is billed: Item cost, Shipping, Taxes & fees, Subtotal, Payment processing fees, DS-Mate processing fees and Total. Orders charged before 27 September 2026 show fewer lines, with taxes and fees inside Item cost.

Good to know

  • The formula per item: Revenue = payout minus supplier cost. Payout is the channel's Order Earnings when it has reported fees. Until then DS-Mate uses the item's sale price plus the shipping the buyer paid, without tax. Supplier cost is the billed total of the Supplier Cost lines.
  • Revenue is blank (-) until DS-Mate has placed the supplier order and written its cost. It is also blank on a Price Changed order until you pay again at the new price.
  • Marketplace fees (Amazon, TikTok, eBay) can post a few weeks after a sale, so Revenue on those orders is an estimate until they settle.
  • A cancelled order you already paid the supplier for keeps its Revenue and its supplier cost. It shows as negative only when what the channel pays you is less than that cost.
  • DS-Mate does not have a pricing optimizer and does not compare supplier prices across vendors for you.
