Start Using Hubbuycn SpreadsheetBefore You Start
Open Google Sheets in a new browser tab. Create a blank spreadsheet and name it "oocbuy Tracker [YourName] [Month]". This naming convention makes your file searchable in Google Drive when you have twenty other documents. Next, decide whether you will track in USD, EUR, or GBP. Consistent currency prevents profit math errors later. Finally, bookmark this page so you can return if you get stuck on any step.
Ten Steps to a Working Tracker
- 1
Create your header row
Click cell A1 and type "Order Date". In B1 type "Item Name", C1 "Category", D1 "Buy Price", E1 "Sell Price", F1 "Shipping", G1 "Profit", H1 "Status". These eight columns cover every essential data point for a beginner.
- 2
Format headers for visibility
Select A1:H1, click the paint-bucket icon, choose a dark background with white text. Bold the row. This visual hierarchy separates labels from data at a glance.
- 3
Freeze the header row
Click View > Freeze > 1 row. Now when you scroll through fifty orders, your headers stay locked at the top like a dashboard rail.
- 4
Add the profit formula
Click G2 and type =E2-D2-F2. This subtracts your cost and shipping from your sell price. Press Enter, then grab the tiny square at the bottom-right of G2 and drag it down to row 50. Every row now auto-calculates profit.
- 5
Format currency columns
Select D2:F50, click Format > Number > Currency. Choose your currency symbol. Prices now display as clean dollar amounts instead of plain numbers.
- 6
Build a status dropdown
Select H2:H50, click Data > Data validation. Choose "List of items" and enter: Ordered, Shipped, Arrived, Listed, Sold. Now each cell shows a dropdown arrow with preset choices, eliminating typos.
- 7
Add conditional formatting for status
Select H2:H50, click Format > Conditional formatting. Set "Ordered" to yellow, "Shipped" to blue, "Arrived" to green, "Sold" to dark green. Your sheet becomes a color dashboard.
- 8
Create a summary tab
Click the plus icon next to "Sheet1". Name it "Summary". In A1 type "Total Orders", in B1 type =COUNTA(Sheet1!A2:A100). In A2 type "Total Profit", in B2 type =SUM(Sheet1!G2:G100). Your dashboard auto-updates.
- 9
Link supplier URLs
In a new column I1 named "Supplier Link", paste the oocbuy.com product URL for each item. These links become clickable blue text, letting you restock in one click without hunting through browser history.
- 10
Protect your formulas
Select the profit column G2:G50, right-click, choose "View more cell actions" > "Protect range". Only you can edit these cells, preventing accidental formula deletion during fast data entry.
Now that your tracker is built, put it to work on real oocbuy orders.
