Research the item.
Then audit what you actually keep.
Shelfledger scans Walmart Marketplace for items worth sourcing, then runs every one through a fee-level profit audit — referral, WFS, inbound, returns and COGS — so a winner never turns out to be a $1.59 loss after the fact.

The gap
Seller Center tells you what sold. It never tells you what it cost you to sell it.
Revenue is easy to see. The drag underneath it — referral rate by category, WFS weight tiers, inbound freight, prep, storage, the return that came back unsellable — lives in five different exports. Shelfledger puts the whole ledger behind one item on one screen, before you buy and after you ship.

Profit audit
Every fee, named. No “estimated” hand-waving.
Most calculators stop at referral and fulfillment. The money usually leaks somewhere further down — a weight tier you crossed by two ounces, freight you never split per unit, a return rate that eats a fifth of your margin.
- Category referral rates applied per item, not averaged
- WFS fulfillment by dimensional weight tier, with the next tier shown
- Inbound freight and prep divided across the units in the shipment
- A returns reserve set from your own return history, not a guess
- Break-even price and target cost calculated for your margin floor

Questions
What sellers ask before connecting a store.
How accurate are the fee numbers?
The audit uses the current published referral rates by category and WFS rate card by weight tier, plus the costs you enter for goods, freight and prep. Once your store is connected, Shelfledger reconciles modeled fees against the fees on your settled orders and shows you where the two diverge.
Do I need to connect a store to try it?
No. You can run audits with manual inputs — price, category, weight, cost — before connecting anything. Connecting a store adds your real return rate, settled fees and inventory data, which makes the model match your business instead of a category average.
What access does Shelfledger request?
Read-only access to items, orders, fees, returns and inventory. Shelfledger does not change prices, edit listings or submit anything to your store. You can revoke access from your seller account at any time and the connection stops immediately.
Does it work for seller-fulfilled items too?
Yes. Switch an item from WFS to seller fulfilled and the audit swaps the WFS rate for your own pick, pack and shipping costs by zone, then recalculates net margin and break-even price.
Can I set a margin floor and get told when items fall below it?
Set a floor by percentage, dollar amount or return on cost — per store or per category. Items are re-audited daily, and anything that drops below the floor appears in your alerts with the specific line that moved.
