Getting started with Profit Bid

Steps

1. Start the free trial. Go to /start-free. Enter email, store URL, and at least one platform. No credit card. Trial maps to Starter: 14 days, 1 connected store, 300 orders total. 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).
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Use these nav labels exactly — older docs that said “My Account” are outdated.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).
