What Vertex does
Vertex is profit analytics for Salla and Zid merchants: it combines your orders, your real costs and your ad spend into one true net-profit number — and tells you which ads actually made money.
The 5-minute path
- 1Sign up (14-day free trial, no card needed) and name your workspace.
- 2Connect your Salla or Zid store — orders start syncing automatically.
- 3Enter your costs in Settings → Store Costs (COGS %, shipping, fees, VAT).
- 4Install the tracking pixel and connect your ad platforms.
- 5Open the Profit page — that's your real net profit.
Take the tour
On your first visit the dashboard runs a 60-second guided tour. You can replay it anytime: Help menu (?) → Restart the product tour.
