In short

Most settings live in one place: click your picture at the end of the bar, then Account > Features. The extension’s Account tab holds the same profit settings, so a change in one shows in the other. A few settings sit on their own page, like Vault filters or a Reviews campaign. Say you pay $0.50 to prep each item. Type 0.50 in Prep per item once. The Vault, the extension and AlphaChaser all use it from then on.
Profit calculator, Used by the Vault and the extension: Used in Vault, Extension, AlphaChaser. COSTS: Prep per item $0.00, Inbound shipping per lb $0.00, FBM shipping cost (per unit) not set, Sales tax on cost (%) 0, Inbound placement Minimal shipment splits.

More details

These feed every profit you see: the Vault, the extension, the phone’s Profit calculator and AlphaChaser.
The Profit calculator card: COSTS, GOALS (Lowest ROI you want 30, Lowest profit you want $5.00, Months in storage 1, Use peak storage fees off), PRICING (Sale price used for profit: Buy Box, FBA sellers only), then Extension only: Close Seller Central after a check and Show You in Offers, both on.

The whole card in the demo store. Notice the Extension only part at the bottom.

  • Sales tax on cost (%): tax added to what you pay.
  • Inbound placement: Amazon’s placement option. It only counts when your store has no recent boxes.
GOALS
  • Lowest ROI you want (%) and Lowest profit you want: your goals. They decide Max cost, the most you can pay.
  • Months in storage: how many months of storage fees to count.
  • Use peak storage fees: counts every month at Amazon’s October to December rate.
