| Order     | Products | Subtotal      |
| --------- | -------- | ------------- |
| #1001     | 3 items  | \$150         |
| #1002     | 1 item   | \$75          |
| #1003     | 5 items  | \$280         |
| ...       | ...      | ...           |
| **Total** |          | **\$180,000** |

## How It Works

Subtotal is pulled directly from your Shopify order data. It represents the pure product value before any modifications. Shipping, taxes, discounts, and refunds are applied on top of subtotal to arrive at total and net revenue.
