Margin Protection for Shopify Stores

Stop losing margin on Shopify. In <10ms. Without losing sales.

Built for $250K–$5M Shopify stores that run promotions without wanting to guess which discounts are eating their margin.

What is Agentis?

Agentis is a real-time margin protection app for Shopify and Shopify Plus. It evaluates every checkout against your cost data in under 10 milliseconds and blocks the three most common margin leaks at the source: stacked coupon codes, MAP violations, and orders below your configured margin floor. Built for Shopify stores doing $250K–$5M annual GMV that want margin enforcement without a developer or storefront code changes.

The Problem

Your Shopify store leaks margin in three silent ways

Step 01

Stacked coupons eat your margin silently

Customers combine WELCOME10 + SAVE15 and your Shopify cart total drops below cost. Your margin disappears on every stacked-discount order. Shopify doesn't know. You don't know. Until the month-end report.

Step 02

MAP violations slip through checkout

A discount code pushes a SKU below your manufacturer's minimum advertised price. The order goes through. Your vendor relationship doesn't.

Step 03

Every promo runs without a floor

Sitewide Shopify sales have no margin guardrail. Every discount code runs without a floor check. High-volume discount days can become your most margin-destroying days without a single alert.

How It Works

Three guardrails. One integration.

Agentis evaluates every Shopify checkout against your cost data in real time. When a cart breaches a guardrail (coupon stacking, margin floor, or MAP), the lowest-value discount is removed automatically. The customer keeps their best offer. Your Shopify margin is protected.

Coupon Stacking

Blocks when 2+ discount codes combine to push your Shopify checkout below your margin floor. No code changes required: every stacking attempt is intercepted and the lowest-value discount removed automatically.

<10ms

Margin Floor

Refuses any Shopify cart where applied discounts drop net margin below your configured threshold. Set floors globally or per SKU. Every below-floor order is adjusted, never blocked entirely, so sales keep flowing.

<10ms

MAP Protection

Prevents any Shopify checkout where the effective price after discounts falls below your MAP agreement. Protects authorized dealer status by enforcing vendor price floors automatically at every checkout.

Shopify & Shopify Plus

Works on every Shopify plan. Deeper on Shopify Plus.

Standard Shopify stores connect via the Agentis app in under 30 minutes, with no theme edits and no developer required. Shopify Plus merchants unlock additional checkout extensibility hooks that run margin guardrails at the validation layer, before the payment step is rendered. This means discount enforcement happens earlier in the Shopify checkout flow with zero visible latency and no impact on your conversion rate.

Shopify store owners preparing for the June 2026 Shopify Scripts deprecation can migrate existing discount guardrail logic directly into Agentis, with no Ruby dependency, no storefront code changes, and broader margin enforcement than Scripts ever allowed.

Proof

Tighter margin guardrails don’t hurt sales.

Methodology: 5% holdout cohort across 1,847 orders over 30 days on the Northwind Goods Shopify store (March–April 2026). Conversion rate variance between protected and unprotected groups: ±0.4% (not statistically significant, p > 0.10). Net margin lift on protected carts: +12.0%. The experiment used the built-in holdout cohort feature, available on every Agentis plan.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

What is Shopify margin protection?

Shopify margin protection is a class of app that evaluates each checkout against your cost data in real time and blocks orders that would breach your margin rules, typically caused by stacked coupons, MAP violations, or below-floor discount combinations. Agentis is a margin protection app built specifically for Shopify and Shopify Plus.

How much does Shopify margin protection cost?

Agentis starts at $29/month for Shopify stores up to $250K annual GMV (Shop Starter), $49/month up to $1M GMV (Shop Plus), and $99/month up to $5M GMV (Shop Pro). All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Stores above $5M GMV use enterprise pricing.

Will guardrails hurt my conversion rate?

No. A 5% holdout cohort across 1,847 orders over 30 days on a live Shopify store showed identical conversion rates between protected and unprotected groups (±0.4%, not statistically significant). Guardrails only block carts that would have lost money; customers with valid orders are never affected.

How do you connect to Shopify?

Via the Agentis Shopify App (one-click install) or direct API integration. Setup takes under 30 minutes. No changes to your theme or checkout flow required, and no developer needed.

How long does installation take?

Most Shopify stores are live in under 30 minutes. All three guardrail rules (coupon stacking, MAP, and margin floor) ship pre-configured with sensible defaults you can tighten later.

Does Agentis work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. Shopify Plus merchants get access to additional checkout extensibility hooks for deeper guardrail enforcement at the validation layer. Standard Shopify plans are supported via the app.

What's the difference between Agentis and Shopify Scripts?

Shopify Scripts requires Ruby code and will be deprecated June 30, 2026. Agentis is a no-code replacement that runs faster (<10ms vs. ~30–50ms), enforces margin floors and MAP that Scripts cannot, and survives the Scripts sunset with broader functionality and zero migration risk.

Does Agentis work with my ERP or NetSuite?

Yes for cost data. Agentis imports COGS via CSV, Shopify product metafields, or direct ERP integration (NetSuite supported via Celigo on enterprise plans). Small-store plans typically use CSV or metafield-based COGS.

Can I run Agentis on multiple Shopify stores?

Yes. Each Shopify store is connected separately so guardrail rules and cost data stay store-specific. Multi-store discount via volume; contact sales for two or more stores.

Can I run a holdout experiment?

Yes. Every Agentis plan includes a holdout cohort feature so you can compare margin-protected Shopify carts against an unprotected control group side by side. Default cohort size is 5%, configurable per store.
