Profit Governance
Profit Floor
By Herzel MishelFounder, AgentisLast reviewed
Definition
The minimum gross margin required before an order is confirmed at checkout. Orders falling below the profit floor are blocked, modified, or redirected.
A profit floor is the minimum acceptable gross margin threshold configured for checkout enforcement. Unlike traditional margin targets that are monitored retroactively, a profit floor is enforced in real-time at the point of transaction. Agentis evaluates each checkout against the configured profit floor — factoring in applied discounts, current COGS from NetSuite, freight zone costs, and FX rates — and blocks or redirects any order that falls below it. Profit floors can be configured per SKU category, freight zone, promo type, or any combination, giving merchants granular control over their minimum acceptable profitability per transaction.
