If you spend heavily on ads, attribution matters, and Triple Whale is built for it. But attribution isn't accounting. Its profit view starts from Shopify orders and ad spend, then subtracts costs from the settings you give it. It never checks the result against the money that actually moved.
Metreks starts from the other end: every order, fee, refund, payout and bank or card transaction, booked into real double-entry accounts and reconciled to your statements. The profit it shows is what actually happened, which is why it matches the bank.
Estimated profit drifts when product costs change, when fees vary by card and country, when chargebacks land weeks later, and when costs outside Shopify and the ad platforms (software, contractors, bank fees, loan repayments) never make it into the model.
