Profit Bid
POAS Tracking & Profit-Based Bidding for E-commerce
The story
Overview
Profit Bid is a profit-focused ad optimization platform designed for e-commerce merchants selling on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and other major platforms. It solves a critical problem in digital advertising: most bidding strategies optimize for revenue or ROAS, which can mask unprofitable orders once costs like COGS, shipping, transaction fees, and VAT are factored in. Profit Bid calculates true net profit for every order and SKU, then uses that data to optimize ad spend across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, and other platforms. The platform works by installing a lightweight first-party tracking pixel on your store that captures ad clicks, matches them to orders, and uploads profit-weighted conversions back to your ad platforms. Profit Bid's AI Agent (Proby) monitors Shopping and Performance Max campaigns, adjusting budgets and bids based on real POAS performance, while automatic A/C/X labeling sorts products into winners (POAS > 100%), borderline (50-100%), and losers (< 50%) and syncs those labels to Google Ads for automated budget allocation. The result is less wasted spend on unprofitable products, clearer profit reporting, and reduced manual campaign management.

FAQ
What is POAS and how does it differ from ROAS?
POAS (Profit on Ad Spend) divides gross profit by ad spend, while ROAS divides revenue by ad spend. POAS accounts for COGS, shipping, fees, and VAT, showing true profitability. ROAS can look good while orders lose money after costs are deducted.
Which e-commerce platforms and ad networks does Profit Bid support?
Profit Bid supports Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopware, and OpenCart. Ad integrations include Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, Pinterest, and Amazon.
How does the first-party tracking pixel work?
A lightweight script (pb-store.js) runs on your store domain, captures ad click IDs (gclid, gbraid, fbclid), respects consent settings, and matches them to orders. Profit data is then uploaded to your ad platforms for optimization.
What are A/C/X labels and how do they help?
A/C/X labels automatically sort products into winners (POAS > 100%), borderline (50-100%), and losers (< 50%). These labels sync to Google Ads so budget automatically flows to profitable products and away from unprofitable ones.
Can I use Profit Bid if I run multiple stores?
Yes. The Growth plan supports 2 stores, Pro supports 4, and Scale supports up to 6 stores across all supported platforms, with unlimited ad platform integrations per store.
