Profitrics: Settings reference

Settings reference

Every setting, what it changes, and what it ships as. The two at the top are the ones that decide whether anything else is right.

Settings live on the last tab, under WooCommerce then Profitrics then Settings. They are stored as a single option, profitsync_settings, which is what the settings export contains.

General

Setting	What it does	Ships as
Currency	The currency Profitrics reports in, across the admin and every export.	Store currency
Rounding decimals	Decimal places in reported figures. Affects display, not the stored calculation.	2
Refund calculation	How a refund affects revenue and cost. `none` ignores refunds, `order_total` reverses the whole order, `line_items` reverses only the items refunded.	Set on install
Included order statuses	Which statuses count as a sale. The single most consequential setting here: a status left out is invisible everywhere in the plugin.	Processing and completed
Analytics profit columns	Adds cost and profit to WooCommerce Analytics. See Analytics.	Enabled
Default cost mode	Whether a cost with no mode is a fixed amount or a percentage of price.	Fixed
Variation fallback	Lets a variation with no cost of its own inherit the parent product's cost.	Enabled
Default gateway fee	Percentage and fixed fee for any gateway without its own rule. See Gateway fees.	2.90% plus 0.30
Default shipping cost	Cost for any shipping method without its own rule. See Shipping.	0.00
Order extra cost	A percentage and fixed amount applied to every order, for per-order costs that fit nowhere else, such as packaging or picking.	0

Internal alerts

Alerts appear on the bell in the Profitrics header rather than by email. They are evaluated against the range set here, not against whatever range the dashboard happens to be showing.

Setting	What it does	Ships as
Enable internal notifications	The switch for everything below.	Enabled
Margin threshold	Raises an alert when margin falls below this percentage.	25
Shipping threshold	Raises an alert when shipping cost exceeds this percentage of revenue.	8
Negative profit alert	Raises an alert on any order that lost money.	Enabled
Low stock alert	Raises an alert at the stock threshold below.	Enabled
Low stock threshold	Units remaining before the alert fires.	5
Evaluation range	The period alerts are judged over: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year.	30 days
Cooldown	Minutes before the same alert can fire again, so one bad week does not produce a hundred notifications.	180

Send Test Notification puts a notification through the whole path, which is the quick way to tell a configuration problem from a quiet month.

Outbound webhooks

Setting	What it does	Ships as
Enable outbound webhooks	The switch.	Disabled
Webhook URL	Where events are posted. HTTPS strongly preferred.	Empty
Webhook secret	Signs each payload with HMAC SHA-256, sent as `X-ProfitSync-Signature`. Verify it at your end; an unsigned webhook endpoint accepts anything.	Empty
Webhook timeout	Seconds to wait for your endpoint before giving up.	5

See Developers for the events, the headers and the hooks.
