Profit amounts

Profit represents the amount earned when an item or unit of an item are sold or when an order is completed:

  • Item profit represents the amount of profit that is earned when all units of an item are sold.

  • Order profit is the amount of profit that is earned from a single transaction.

  • Unit profit represents the amount of profit that is earned when a single unit of an item is sold.
