Automated Printify Margin Reporting
Every Monday, WebRun opens Printify, reads the production cost, shipping cost, and retail price for every published product, works out the margin per item and per variant, writes the full table into Notion, and posts every product below your margin floor to Microsoft Teams for a pricing decision.
How do I track profit margins on my print-on-demand products?
WebRun reviews your Printify margins every Monday. It reads production cost, shipping, and retail price for every published product and variant, calculates the margin on each, logs the table in Notion with week-over-week cost changes, and posts products below your floor to Microsoft Teams.
- Loss-making variants are found before a season of orders goes out
- Provider cost rises are seen the week they happen
- Margin history lives in Notion instead of a rebuilt spreadsheet
Built for print-on-demand sellers · ecommerce operators · merch brands · Shopify and Etsy store owners

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it change my product prices?
No. WebRun reads costs and prices and reports the margin. Every repricing decision is made by a person inside Printify or your store.
Does it handle variants priced differently?
Yes. Margin is calculated at variant level as well as product level, so a single loss-making size or colour is not hidden by the product average.
How do I know when a provider raised their cost?
Each row carries the week-over-week change in production cost, and any product whose cost rose is called out in the Teams post before the margin actually slips.
