Profit Optimizer
Last updated Jul 22, 2026
Profit Optimizer ranks recommendations by the margin you actually keep, not just headline price.
How it works
- COGS sync — UpsellEngine pulls cost-per-item (COGS) from Shopify, so every product carries a real margin.
- Profit-first ranking — across every placement, offers are ordered by the profit they contribute rather than price.
- You keep control — pinned and excluded products (Manual pairings & exclusions) are still respected.

Relevance still comes first
Profit Optimizer changes the ranking, not what's eligible. A high-margin product no one wants won't be forced in — the optimizer only breaks ties among relevant offers in favour of profit.
See the Profit Optimizer feature overview. It's available on the Growth plan and above (Plans & billing).
Note: Make sure your cost-per-item values are set in Shopify, or margins can't be computed.
