What is Agentis?
Agentis is real-time profit protection built for SHOPLINE merchants. At every checkout it works out the true margin of the order, after the discount, the real shipping cost, the gateway fee, FX, and any duty. If an order would lose money, Agentis flags or corrects it before it ships. Setup takes about 30 minutes, with no code and no changes to your storefront.

The headline rate is never the real rate.
In one Hong Kong example, a card payment advertised at 3.8% actually cost 5.19% once the flat fee, the platform fee, and refund provisions were counted. That gap is pure margin, gone before a single discount. Stack a promo on top and the average promotional order gives up around 15% of its margin. None of it shows up until you reconcile at month-end, when the inventory is already gone.
The questions every SHOPLINE merchant ends up asking at month-end.
None of these look dangerous on their own. Together they explain why the dashboard said one thing and your bank account said another.
Why is my real shipping cost higher than what I charged?
Carriers reweigh parcels and bill by dimensional weight, so the real cost often lands above your quote. Agentis catches that gap on each order and counts it against margin now, not on next month's carrier invoice.
Which orders actually made money after the returns came back?
A sale is not a sale until the return window closes. Agentis spots serial returners and refund abuse, and shows you the products whose quiet return rate is eating the margin you thought you earned.
Who's paying the duty on this cross-border order, me or the customer?
De minimis thresholds keep moving. When an order crosses one, the duty has to land somewhere. Agentis flags it before you ship so the cost is a decision, not a surprise you swallow later.
My costs went up. My prices didn't. How bad is it?
When a supplier or freight cost rises, the old price keeps selling at the old margin in your head and a worse one in real life. Agentis reconciles real landed cost per order and tells you which prices need to move.
Are my discount codes and live-selling promos actually profitable?
Stack a code on an auto-discount on free shipping and an order can go underwater with nobody watching. Agentis checks every combination against your floor and trims the one that breaks it, in real time, even mid-stream.
I sell in a few currencies. Which markets actually pay?
Rates move after you set the price, so a healthy order in one currency can turn negative in another. Agentis prices and checks each order in real terms, so you can tell which markets earn and which just look busy.
My subscriptions keep growing but the money doesn't. Why?
More subscribers on a fixed price while costs creep up is margin decay you feel slowly. Agentis surfaces the plans that stopped being profitable so you can fix them before the next renewal.
Underneath all of them is one question: my P&L looks fine, so where is the money actually going? Agentis answers it per order, in real time, instead of three weeks late.
Set it up once. Then it runs in the background.
Three steps to live. After that, Agentis checks every order quietly and only speaks up when one would lose money.

Selling across Asia means three hidden costs at once.
Every gateway takes a cut before your margin math even starts. FPS, WeChat Pay, Alipay HK, PayNow, GrabPay, and FPX each charge their own rate. Cross a border and duty shows up. Hold stock in more than one market and FX moves the number again after you set the price.
Agentis folds all three into every order, so the floor you set is the floor you actually keep, after the gateway, the duty, and the rate that moved. Real margin, not the gross number that looked fine on the dashboard.
Live selling is your best channel, and where margin gets away fastest.
When the room is hot, the codes come out one after another. Viewers drop them in the comments, SHOPLINE builds the orders, and you only get to see what each one earned after the stream is over. If stacking is on, some of those orders lost money, and you can't tell which.
Agentis keeps it simple. Set the floor for each featured product before you go on, and while you sell it watches every comment order and quietly corrects the combinations that would drop below the line. You stay on camera. It stays in the numbers.
Margin up. Conversions flat.
Methodology: 5% holdout experiment across 1,847 orders on the Northwind Goods demo store over 30 days (March–April 2026). Conversion difference between protected and control groups was ±0.4% (not statistically significant, p > 0.10). Net margin in the protected group improved +12.0%. Every Agentis plan includes a built-in holdout experiment, so you can prove this on your own store. Agentis is an official SHOPLINE partner.

Common questions about margin enforcement
What is Agentis?
Agentis is real-time profit protection for SHOPLINE merchants. It checks the true margin of every order before it ships, after the discount, the real shipping cost, the gateway fee, the FX, and any duty. When an order would lose money, Agentis flags it or fixes it, while the order still goes through.
How does it connect to SHOPLINE? Do I need a developer?
No developer needed. You connect your SHOPLINE store through the Agentis dashboard, with no code changes and no edits to your storefront. Most merchants are live in under 30 minutes.
How do you work out the 'real' margin on an order?
Agentis starts from your product cost and adds the things that usually get ignored until month-end: real shipping (including dimensional-weight reweighs), the payment gateway fee for the method the customer actually chose, FX, and duty on cross-border orders. The number you see is what you keep, not the gross.
Will fixing discount combinations hurt my conversion rate?
Not in practice. Agentis does not reject orders. It corrects the discount combination so the order stays above your floor, and the customer still gets the best valid discount. In a 30-day test across 1,847 orders, the conversion difference between the protected group and the control was plus or minus 0.4%, which is not statistically significant.
Does it work during live selling?
Yes. You set a margin floor for each featured product before you go live. Agentis then watches every comment-to-cart order in real time and corrects any combination that crosses the floor on the spot. No mid-stream mental math, and a full log waiting when the session ends.
How do I know if a discount code is actually profitable?
Agentis scores every order the code touches against its true cost, so you can see which promotions drive real profit and which ones drive revenue that loses money. The ones quietly running negative stop being a mystery.
Can it catch shipping or DIM-weight overcharges?
Yes. When the real shipping cost lands above what you charged, often because the carrier reweighed the parcel by dimensional weight, Agentis catches the gap on that order and counts it against margin instead of letting it hide in the monthly invoice.
How does it handle returns and serial returners?
Agentis watches return behavior across orders, so repeat returners and refund abuse get flagged before you issue the refund. It also shows which products carry a return rate high enough to wipe out their margin, so you can price or drop them with eyes open.
Who pays the duty on cross-border orders, and can Agentis warn me?
When an order crosses a de minimis threshold, someone owes duty. Agentis flags those orders before they ship and shows the landed cost, so you decide who absorbs it instead of finding out after the parcel is gone.
I sell in multiple currencies. How does FX factor in?
Agentis checks each order in real terms using current rates, not the rate from when you set the price. If an FX move has pushed an order margin-negative, you see it on that order, and you can price markets so they stay profitable as rates shift.
My costs went up but my prices didn't. Can Agentis tell me what to reprice?
Yes. Agentis reconciles real landed cost per order, so when a supplier or freight cost rises it shows you exactly which SKUs are now selling below the margin you intended, and which prices need to move.
Why don't my SHOPLINE numbers match my accounting?
Your storefront shows revenue. Your accounting shows what actually landed weeks later, after fees, refunds, FX, and duty. Agentis reconciles each order down to one true profit number, so the two stop disagreeing and you can trust what you're looking at.
Which countries and currencies does it support?
Agentis connects via the SHOPLINE API and works across the regions where SHOPLINE operates, including Hong Kong (HKD), Singapore (SGD), Malaysia (MYR), Taiwan (TWD), and Australia (AUD). Gateway fees for FPS, WeChat Pay, PayNow, GrabPay, FPX, and others are built into the margin calculation.
How much does it cost? Is there a free trial?
Starter is US$29/mo, Growth is US$49/mo, Pro is US$99/mo. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card. Merchants above US$5M GMV can contact us for enterprise pricing.
