Margin protection for Shopify stores

Your store is shipping orders that lose money. Catch them before they ship. Without touching checkout.

Every stacked coupon that turns an order unprofitable is margin you already earned, given away. Agentis checks each order within 60 seconds of it being placed, against your real cost data, across three guardrails (coupon stacking, margin floor, and MAP), and flags or holds the losers before fulfillment. Built for $250K–$5M Shopify stores that run promotions and want to know which discounts are eating the margin.

What is Agentis?

Agentis is a post-order margin protection layer for Shopify and Shopify Plus. It computes true net margin on every order within 60 seconds of it being placed and catches the three most common margin leaks before the order ships: stacked coupon codes, MAP violations, and orders below your margin floor. Each one is flagged or held before fulfillment under rules you approve. Built for Shopify stores doing $250K–$5M annual GMV that want margin control without a developer or storefront code changes.

Your Shopify store leaks margin in three silent ways.

None of them trip an alert. Together they explain why the month-end number never matches what the dashboard showed during the sale.

Stacked coupons eat your margin silently

Customers combine WELCOME10 and SAVE15 at checkout, and the order total slips below cost. Shopify doesn't flag it, so the order ships and you only find the loss in the month-end report.

MAP violations ship unnoticed

A discount code pushes a SKU below your manufacturer's minimum advertised price. The order goes through and ships, and the vendor relationship you rely on takes the hit.

Every promo runs without a floor

Sitewide sales have no margin guardrail. High-volume discount days are exactly when stacking is worst, and they can become your most margin-destroying days with no alert at all.

Three guardrails. One integration.

Agentis checks every Shopify order against your cost data within 60 seconds of it being placed. When an order breaks a guardrail, it flags it with the leak and a recommended fix, or holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve. Every decision lands in the Evidence Ledger.

Coupon stacking

When two or more codes combine to push an order below your floor, Agentis flags it with the codes involved and the margin lost, or holds it before fulfillment so you decide whether it ships.

Per-order check <60s

Margin floor

Any order whose discounts, freight, and fees drop net margin below your threshold gets flagged or held instead of silently shipping. Set one floor store-wide or per SKU.

Per-order check <60s

MAP protection

When the effective price after discounts falls below your MAP agreement, Agentis flags the order and logs the evidence, so you can fix the code and protect your authorized-dealer status.

Works on every Shopify plan, including Shopify Plus.

Agentis connects through the Shopify API with no theme edits, no checkout changes, and no developer, because it works on the order after it is placed rather than inside checkout. Shopify Plus brands running Oracle NetSuite get live COGS (commonly via Celigo), so every order’s net margin reflects real landed cost, freight, fees, and FX.

If your discount logic lives in Shopify’s native discounts or in Shopify Functions, keep it. Those run inside checkout on promotion rules and never see your costs. Agentis runs afterward on the finished order and catches the ones that slip through at a loss, before they ship.

From order placed to verdict in under 60 seconds.

  1. 01

    Order placed

    The shopper checks out as usual. Shopify sends the new order, with its discounts, line items, and shipping, to Agentis.

  2. 02

    Net margin in under 60 seconds

    Agentis computes true net margin on that order using your COGS (live from Oracle NetSuite, or Shopify cost per item), freight, payment fees, and FX.

  3. 03

    Flag or hold before fulfillment

    If the order breaks a guardrail, Agentis flags it with the leak and a recommended fix, or holds it before it ships under rules you approve. Every decision is written to the Evidence Ledger.

Agentis never touches your storefront or checkout. Shoppers see the same checkout they see today; the margin check happens on the order after it is placed, before your warehouse picks it.

Common questions about margin enforcement

What is Shopify margin protection?

Shopify margin protection checks each order against your real cost data and catches the ones that lose money, typically because of stacked coupons, MAP violations, or discounts that push net margin below your floor. Agentis does this after the order is placed and before it ships: it computes true net margin on every Shopify or Shopify Plus order within 60 seconds, then flags the order or holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve.

How much does Shopify margin protection cost?

Agentis is offered in three tiers sized by store: Shop Starter (up to $250K annual GMV), Shop Plus (up to $1M GMV), and Shop Pro (up to $5M GMV). Pricing is quoted per store, so contact sales for your tier. There are no long-term contracts, and stores above $5M GMV move to an enterprise plan.

Will guardrails hurt my conversion rate?

Agentis does not touch your storefront, cart, or checkout. Shoppers see exactly the same checkout they see today, because the margin check runs on the order after it has been placed. When an order breaks a guardrail, Agentis flags it or holds it before fulfillment, and your team decides whether to ship, adjust, or cancel it.

How do you connect to Shopify?

Agentis connects to your Shopify or Shopify Plus store through the Shopify API. It reads orders, discounts, and products, and pulls cost data from Oracle NetSuite, Shopify cost per item, or a CSV. No changes to your theme or checkout flow are required, and no developer is needed. Agentis is not listed on the Shopify App Store yet.

How long does setup take?

Most Shopify stores can be connected in about 30 minutes. All three guardrails (coupon stacking, MAP, and margin floor) start in flag-only mode with sensible defaults, so you can review what Agentis catches before you turn on automatic holds.

Does Agentis work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. Agentis works the same way on Shopify and Shopify Plus: it checks each order after it is placed and acts before fulfillment. Shopify Plus brands running Oracle NetSuite can use live COGS from NetSuite, so every order's net margin reflects real landed cost, freight, fees, and FX.

How is Agentis different from Shopify discounts, Scripts, or Functions?

Shopify's native discounts and Shopify Functions (and, before they were retired, Shopify Scripts) run inside checkout and apply promotion logic to the cart. They do not see your landed cost, freight, payment fees, or FX. Agentis works afterward, on the finished order: it computes true net margin within 60 seconds and flags the order or holds it before it ships. The two are complementary. Keep your checkout discount logic, and use Agentis to catch the orders it lets through at a loss.

Does Agentis work with my ERP or NetSuite?

Yes. Agentis pulls live COGS from Oracle NetSuite (commonly via Celigo) and combines it with freight, fees, and FX for each order. Smaller stores without an ERP can use Shopify cost per item or a CSV upload instead.

Can I run Agentis on multiple Shopify stores?

Yes. Each Shopify store is connected separately so guardrail rules and cost data stay store-specific. Multi-store discount via volume; contact sales for two or more stores.

What happens when Agentis holds an order?

The order stays unfulfilled with the reason attached (for example, two stacked codes that put net margin below your floor) and a recommended fix. Your team releases, adjusts, or cancels it. Every flag and hold is written to the Evidence Ledger, so you can see which discounts and SKUs keep causing losses.
