OneCart calculates gross margin per SKU across all your sales platforms by deducting your cost of goods from revenue, giving you unified profitability insights in one dashboard instead of manual calculations across multiple platforms.
OneCart calculates gross margin per SKU across all your sales platforms by deducting your cost of goods from total revenue. Input your product costs once in OneCart and get unified profitability reports showing margin by individual SKU, platform, time period, or any combination - eliminating spreadsheet juggling and guesswork.
Selling the same products across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and Amazon? Trying to figure out which SKUs are actually profitable becomes a nightmare when sales data is scattered across multiple platforms and seller dashboards.
The traditional approach means endless spreadsheet chaos: downloading sales reports from each platform, manually calculating revenue minus costs for each SKU, trying to account for different currencies and time zones, and hoping your formulas are correct. Miss one platform or make one calculation error, and your entire profitability analysis is wrong.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to calculate gross margin per SKU across multiple platforms using OneCart’s unified reporting, turning hours of manual calculations into instant, accurate profitability insights.
Identify your real winners – See which products are profitable across all platforms, not just high-volume sellers that might have low margins.
Optimize your product mix – Focus marketing and inventory investment on SKUs that actually generate profit across channels.
Make data-driven pricing decisions – Understand true profitability before adjusting prices on different platforms.
Spot platform performance differences – See if the same SKU performs better on Shopee vs Lazada vs TikTok Shop.
Eliminate profitable product blind spots – Stop accidentally promoting low-margin items just because they have high sales volume.
The traditional approach means downloading CSV reports from each platform separately, consolidating sales data in Excel, manually inputting costs for each SKU, creating formulas to calculate margins, and hoping you didn’t miss any orders or make calculation errors. This process needs repeating every time you want updated profitability data.
The smart way is using OneCart’s unified reporting system, which pulls sales data from all platforms automatically and calculates gross margins instantly.
Here’s the exact process:
Link your Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Amazon, Shopify, and other platform accounts to OneCart for automatic sales data import.
Enter the cost of goods sold (COGS) for each SKU in OneCart. This becomes your baseline for margin calculations across all platforms.
OneCart pulls sales data from all connected platforms in real-time, tracking revenue per SKU across every channel.
The system automatically calculates gross margin by deducting your input costs from total revenue for each SKU, updated continuously as orders come in.
View gross margin data as unified statistics across all platforms, or generate reports specific to individual platforms, SKUs, time periods, or product categories.
Export detailed margin reports for further analysis or share profitability insights with your team or accountant.
Imagine you sell phone accessories across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and Amazon. Your wireless earbuds (SKU: WE-001) sell for different prices on each platform and you want to know the true profitability.
Manual approach: Download 4 separate sales reports + manually match SKUs + calculate revenue by platform + subtract costs + create formulas + double-check for errors = 3+ hours of work for one analysis.
OneCart approach: Input WE-001 cost once ($15) + OneCart automatically tracks sales across all platforms + instant margin calculation showing WE-001 generated $2,847 revenue with $1,423 gross margin (50% margin) = Complete analysis in 30 seconds.
OneCart calculates gross margin using your cost of goods versus gross revenue. Platform fees (commissions, payment processing, shipping costs) are not automatically deducted. For net margin calculations that include platform fees, you’ll need to account for these separately or add them to your cost inputs manually.
This approach gives you clean gross margin data while allowing flexibility in how you handle the varying fee structures across different platforms.
OneCart’s profitability insights extend across all supported platforms:
Source platforms: Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Magento, Zalora, Decathlon, RedMart, Fairprice
You can analyze gross margin performance across any combination of these platforms, identifying which channels deliver the best profitability for specific SKUs or product categories.
OneCart provides multiple ways to analyze your gross margin data:
By SKU: See profitability for individual products across all platforms By platform: Compare margin performance between Shopee vs Lazada vs TikTok Shop By time period: Track margin trends over days, weeks, months, or custom date ranges Combination reports: Filter by any combination of the above for precise insights
Calculating gross margin per SKU across multiple platforms isn’t just about knowing your profits — it’s about making informed decisions that directly impact your bottom line. Instead of guessing which products are winners, you can focus your efforts on genuinely profitable SKUs.
OneCart makes profitability analysis effortless. Input costs once, and get instant margin insights across all your sales channels, automatically updated as orders flow in.
