Shopify

Pull orders and revenue drivers from your Shopify store to forecast cash and profit automatically.

2 min read

Connecting Shopify pulls your store's order data into Foreqast on a read-only basis, so revenue stops being a number you type in and becomes one the shop reports.

What syncs

•Orders — count and value, by day.

•Average order value — derived from the two above, so it moves as your mix moves.

•Refunds and discounts — netted off, because gross revenue overstates the cash you keep.

•Product cost — where it is set on the product, giving a real cost of goods rather than a flat percentage.

The connection is read-only. Foreqast never writes to your store, never touches orders, and never sees customer payment details.

What it changes in the forecast

On its own, the sync keeps your Revenue actuals current. Paired with the Driver-Based Revenue extension it does more: orders and average order value become drivers, each projected forward on its own, and revenue is computed from them rather than carried forward as one flat total. That is what lets a forecast respond to a change in order volume instead of averaging it away.

Before you trust the numbers

•Check the first sync against your Shopify reports. Payout timing and refund handling differ between the two; a small gap is normal, a large one usually means a currency or date-range mismatch.

•Set product cost in Shopify if you want real margin. Without it, cost of goods falls back to your booked accounting actuals, which lag.

•Multi-store setups sync separately. Each store is its own connection.

Forecasting a shop's revenue from its own order data is what shop revenue forecasting covers end to end.
