-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Lifetimely — The #1 Profit Agent for eCommerce" description: "Complete documentation for Lifetimely by Amp: an AI Profit Agent and profit analytics platform for Shopify and Amazon merchants." last_updated: "2026-07-08" source: "https://useamp.com" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lifetimely — The #1 Profit Agent for eCommerce Lifetimely, built by Amp, is the #1 Profit Agent for eCommerce. Powered by $100B+ in GMV data across 45,000+ stores, it monitors a Shopify or Amazon store 24/7, finds the profit the merchant is missing, and acts on it when they approve. ## What the Profit Agent Does The Profit Agent operates in a continuous loop — monitor, analyse, plan, execute: 1. **It monitors everything.** The agent watches the store and all connected data sources 24/7 and flags what needs the merchant's attention. 2. **It thinks and plans.** It spots opportunities and risks, drafts the change, and notifies the merchant for approval — with the full reasoning attached. 3. **It acts on approval.** Once approved, it executes within the guardrails the merchant has set, with full transparency. 4. **It iterates.** It measures the lift against a control, learns, and repeats. Examples of what it does: set up a new bundle that lifts AOV on first orders; create a winback campaign targeting lapsed VIPs; surface how a cohort is behaving before it hits the P&L; build a predictive Klaviyo segment and draft the flow. ### Why It's Different From General AI The Profit Agent is built on $100B+ in GMV across 45,000+ stores. It already knows what good looks like for a specific business type — the benchmarks, opportunity patterns, and warning signs for a consumable brand at $12M versus an apparel brand rotating 400 SKUs per season. It applies that collective intelligence to the individual store's actual data: purchase sequences, cohort LTV, COGS. ### Customer Results - **Bunjie**: "It surfaced a massive variance between Google and Klaviyo. Based on this, shifted focus to email. Pushed a campaign the same day and saw a 15% sales uplift in three hours." — Leonel, Head of eCommerce - **The Laundress**: "I'm a team of one. I don't have time to sit with something and let it marinate. The Profit Agent gives me what I need to act on it now." — Chris Eckert, Senior Manager Ecommerce - **Clevr Blends**: "I am obsessed with the Profit Agent. It's so cool, just like having my own data analyst." — Amy Sagar, Head of Marketing - **Zipster**: "I asked which second-time buyers were likely shopping for a gift... It pulled the cohort, built the Klaviyo segment, and drafted the flow in one go." — Paul Kalo, Founder & CEO ### Key Statistics - **$100B+** in GMV data powering the Profit Agent - **45,000+** stores worldwide - **Since 2013** building eCommerce apps for Shopify -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Lifetimely Analytics — Profit, LTV & Attribution for Shopify" description: "Lifetimely gives Shopify merchants real-time P&L dashboards, customer LTV tracking, multi-touch attribution, and cohort analysis — no spreadsheets." last_updated: "2026-07-08" source: "https://useamp.com/products/analytics" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lifetimely Analytics — Make Data-Driven Decisions for Your Online Store Lifetimely by Amp provides deep insights into P&L, CAC, LTV, and customer behavior so merchants can identify the biggest revenue opportunities and inform growth strategies for their Shopify or Amazon store. The analytics engine is what the Profit Agent runs on. Used by leading brands including True Classic, The Laundress, Bulletproof, Chomps, Honeylove, Hourglass, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, Summer Fridays, Equator Coffees, TRX, Bondi Boost, Sheet Society, and Laird Superfood. Available on the Shopify App Store (60,000+ installs): https://apps.shopify.com/lifetimely-lifetime-value-and-profit-analytics ## Feature Areas ### Profit & Loss (https://useamp.com/products/analytics/profit-loss) An automated, real-time income statement with an unparalleled level of detail into where money comes from and where it goes — costs, marketing spend, refunds, fees, and operating expenses — for true profit reporting. A daily P&L report connected to stores, ad platforms, and cost centers is delivered straight to the merchant's inbox, replacing end-of-month spreadsheets. ### CAC & LTV (https://useamp.com/products/analytics/lifetime-value) See the lifetime value of Shopify and Amazon customers next to the cost of acquiring them, with predictive analytics to guide smarter spend. LTV cohort reports can be segmented by product, channel, or customer segment; predictive LTV forecasts future customer value with LTV:CAC ratios; and LTV-driver analysis shows which products, channels, and behaviors contribute most to long-term value. ### Customer Journey Tracking (https://useamp.com/products/analytics/customer-journey) Analyze purchase patterns, frequency, and recency with RFM segmentation. Track repurchase rate, time between orders, and product purchase flow from first to fourth order and beyond. Identify at-risk customers and retention opportunities before it's too late. ### Attribution (https://useamp.com/products/analytics/attribution) Centralize ad spend, revenue, CPC, and ROAS across Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and TikTok in one dashboard, with first-touch and last-touch attribution. Identify opportunities and make profitable adjustments to media strategy and budget. ### Custom Dashboards & Metrics (https://useamp.com/products/analytics/dashboard) Build role-based dashboards and schedule them to arrive by email daily, weekly, or monthly. Templates include: - **eCommerce**: sales % to target, MER, units sold, AOV, sales by country, contribution margin, new vs repeat customers - **Acquisition**: new customers, CAC, spend by channel, NCMER, ad spend and revenue by channel - **Retention**: repeat customer sales, repeat %, CRM segments, LTV, repurchase rate, subscriptions - **Finance**: margins, profitability, cost breakdowns ## What Customers Say - "Lifetimely elevated our strong analytics foundation with granular, product-level intelligence to map customer journeys... faster decision-making and even smarter capital allocation as we grow." — The Outset - "Lifetimely allows you to build custom dashboards based on what your needs are... I, as a retention marketer, have my own retention dashboard. The growth marketer, CFO, and CEO have their dashboards." — The Boring Ecom Podcast - "Lifetimely remains one of our favorite tools to use... serves as a focused, intelligently priced partner." — The Laundress - "This app has been instrumental in helping my team better understand LTV and create product strategies based on the data." — Laura Geller - "I can't recommend Lifetimely enough, it would benefit every eCommerce store to have it installed." — Laird Superfood -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Pricing" description: "Lifetimely pricing scales with monthly orders.
