Getting started with Profit Bid

Steps

1. Start the free trial. Go to /start-free. Enter email and password (or use Google). No credit card. Trial maps to Starter: 14 days, 1 connected store, 300 orders total. Store platform is chosen in onboarding. Smart product labels and Campaign AI optimization are not included on trial.
2. Open Connect store. After login you land on Dashboard (/app). In the app nav open Connect store (/app/stores) and complete the flow for your platform (plugin/license for WooCommerce, OAuth for Shopify, module + pairing for PrestaShop / Shopware / OpenCart, or API credentials for MerchantPro).
3. Set costs and Profit settings. On Products (/app/products) enter COGS per SKU. On Settings → Profit settings set Fallback profit %, VAT options, and My shipping cost. These drive order profit used for uploads.
4. Connect Google Ads. Open Google Ads (/app/google-ads). Complete Connect → Account → Conversion. Prefer an Import from clicks action, or create “WT - Gross Profit”. Default value mode is Product profit (POAS).
5. Verify uploads. Place or wait for attributed orders, then check Google Ads → Conversions sent (/app/google-ads/conversions) and the Conversions column on Orders. Statuses include sent, skipped, failed, retracted, adjusted.

Where things live in the app

Use these nav labels exactly — older docs that said “My Account” are outdated.

• Dashboard — /app
• Connect store — /app/stores
• Orders — /app/orders (Revenue, COGS, Product profit, shipping nets, Conversions)
• Products — /app/products (inline COGS)
• Product Labeling — /app/labels (Pro+; not on trial)
• Merchant Center XML — /app/merchant-center-xml
• Google Ads / Meta / TikTok — Connect Platform group
• Settings — Profit settings, security, billing profile
• My Subscription — /app/account (plan & billing, not store connect)

What the trial includes (and excludes)

Trial is Starter for 14 days with 1 store and 300 processed orders for the whole trial (not per month). Hitting the cap shows: “Your 14-day trial has reached the 300-order limit. Upgrade to a paid plan to resume order imports.”

Not on trial: Smart product labels (Google Ads) and Campaign AI optimization. Upgrade when you need Product Labeling + Merchant Center XML custom_label_0.

Validate day one

Pick 3 recent orders on Orders. Confirm Product profit matches revenue − COGS (with your VAT settings). Then confirm Google Ads Conversions sent shows the same currency amount for an Import from clicks upload — not order revenue, unless you switched value mode to Order revenue (ROAS).
