Revenue is nice, but profit is what pays your bills. The expense tracker helps you see the real picture.
Why track expenses?
If you sold ₦500,000 this month but spent ₦400,000 on stock, ads, and shipping, your actual profit is ₦100,000. Without tracking expenses, you'd think you're doing better than you are.
Adding expenses
Go to Finance → Expenses and click Add Expense. Enter the amount, date, and category:
- Inventory — cost of goods purchased
- Marketing — ad spend, influencer fees, promotions
- Shipping — delivery costs you paid
- Other — packaging, tools, subscriptions, anything else
Profit and loss view
Finance shows your revenue minus expenses, giving you a clear profit/loss number for any time period. Use this to spot trends — are your margins improving or shrinking?
Tip: Log expenses as they happen, not at the end of the month. It takes 10 seconds in the moment and saves you an hour of guessing later.
