Whats is Shopkeeper?

Shopkeeper is a profit dashboard. It tracks sales, calculates profit and forecasts inventory.

Shopkeeper helps answer questions like how many units to reorder, which ASINs are losing money, which variations are performing better, how much sales tax will have to be paid, and how much each refunded item costs.

Shopkeeper has some fun built-in, playing a "ka-ching" sound on every sale.

Shopkeeper Features Overview

On first look at the Shopkeeper website, you will see that they have 4 “features” listed, one of which is educational content/learning resources.

This may make Shopkeeper appear very slim at first, especially since the majority of tools have educational resources but don’t feel the need to list them as a major feature. However, the individual features are deep enough that this isn’t actually true.

Here’s a breakdown of each individual feature:

Shopkeeper Profit Tracking

This is our favourite aspect of Shopkeeper and an excellent way to keep track of your profits. From the excellent dashboard design to the addictive and cathartic cash register sound effect when you get a sale, Shopkeeper certainly puts more effort into the overall experience than pretty much any other Amazon seller tool we’ve come across.

The information that is easily available at a glance is awesome too and gives you the option to dig further into each individual widget to learn exactly what’s going on regarding your Amazon account, products and business.

A nice touch that we appreciated even more was that it plots your historical sales records against your current performance, making it easier than ever to keep your sales on the increase and immediately be made aware if anything does start to slip.

Live profit margins are also provided and constantly updated based on changing data and help you to react more quickly, if not immediately, to any additional costs or other changes.

You can also easily break down these numbers by marketplace, product etc to see whichever aspect of your business you are currently interested in.

You can even leave Shopkeeper open in one tab and do something else in another, and if you get a notification or alert, Shopkeeper will make a noise and a notification will appear on the tab.

This means you can leave Shopkeeper open 24/7 and get on with other things knowing that it will make you aware if something needs your attention.

Individual widgets provide different data, for example, one could display your record single day profit whereas another could show today’s profits. This is all easy to customise and set up exactly how you want it depending on what you’re currently working on.

Shopkeeper Inventory Management

Shopkeeper’s inventory tracking feature uses clear design sensibilities and bright colours to make it as convenient as possible to track all of your stock and see which products need to be reordered and when.

There are also a variety of quality of life features like filtering by country (marketplace), checking your inventory from your smartphone while out and about, or getting up to date alerts about which products are getting low.

We found this aspect of Shopkeeper to be a joy to use and the UI design is a big part of the reason for this, with everything being brightly coloured and labelled to make it easy and convenient to discern the important details.

Shopkeeper Business Dashboard

The main dashboard behind the Shopkeeper experience, the business dashboard gives you everything you could want to know at a glance, and each section can be clicked to investigate in further detail.

You’ll want to check this daily or even keep it open indefinitely so that you can keep track of your sales each day and make sure your profit margins are where they should be.

You can even get a complete, accurate breakdown of your profit margins for each individual product:

This includes all taxes, FBA fees, PPC costs, refunds, coupon redemption fees etc to provide an accurate and up-to-date margin so that you can ensure everything is where it should be and quickly respond to any changes that mean your products aren’t making as much as they should be.

Shopkeeper will give you a ridiculously in-depth breakdown of all costs and figures, taking up to 72 metrics into account, ending up at a final Total Profit number. The whole thing looks something like this depending on how many of the metrics apply to your specific product.

You can even break down the reporting by marketplace and see them in your own currency as opposed to having to compare multiple different currencies and exchange rates to compare your success in one marketplace to another

Shopkeeper Learning Resources

It’s a little audacious to list your educational resources as a feature when there isn’t an Amazon seller tool out there that doesn’t come with at least some form of a tutorial, but Shopkeeper’s are effective and exhaustive enough that we’ll let it slide this time.

They give honest breakdowns of their competitors, what they think they do better and what they think they should improve on, making it a decent resource for finding Amazon tools, although their list is fairly limited and missing some of the #1 tools.

They also provide lists of good Amazon influencers and podcasters to follow, which will be very useful if you’re just starting out in Amazon FBA and looking for new ways to learn.

Shopkeeper Reviews: Pros & Cons

Pros of Shopkeeper

  • Inventory forecaster shows you how long your inventory will last, its value and your stock numbers
  • Profit tracking takes into account fees, advertising spending, manufacturing and shipping costs so there’s no more guessing your profit margin
  • Detailed information on changes in profit is easy to find
  • Fun ka-ching sound, like an old-time cash register opening, plays when you make another sale

Cons of Shopkeeper

Shopkeeper doesn’t allow you to bulk upload files yourself. You have to contact its email support to do that. You also have to manually enter product costs such as shipping and manufacturing. Changing the product costs also affects all your stats. This is crucial as it can affect the costs for older and newer sales, which can impact the accuracy of your data.

Conclusion

I really enjoy the Shopkeeper, because the setup process is flawless, you don’t need to worry about getting confused with the drag and drop editor, and just about every plugin you will need to run your shop is included during the installation process.

You’ll notice that the homepage is rather sleek, cutting down on the useless components that typically cover eCommerce pages. The slider isn’t all that distracting, but it allows you to upload nice photos without degrading them in any way.
