Question 1

How to manage Shipping costs

Accepted Answer

With shipping cost, you can set advanced rules or stick to the basic settings, depending on your business model. Visit Cost settings > Shipping.

Follow this tutorial or read below.

Calculation settings

First, set your default rules to calculate shipping cost for every order. You'll see these options:

Multiply with quantity for the same product: Applies when shipping fee is proportional to product quantity in an order.

For example, an order has the same 2 products and shipping fee is $3 per item. If enabled, final shipping cost is $6. If disabled, final shipping cost is $3.

For orders with multiple different products, total shipping cost will be either the highest shipping fee or the sum of each product's shipping fee in an order.

For example, an order contains item A (shipping fee $3) and item B (shipping fee $4). If you choose Sum shipping fees of each product, final shipping cost is $7. If you choose Use the highest shipping fee, final shipping cost is $4.

Default shipping

This is where you set shipping fees for all products based on geography.

Add new > Enter Zone name (optional) > Choose the countries or regions > Set shipping fee > Save.

Note: if you also set custom shipping fees for specific products, custom shipping will be prioritized over default shipping.

Question 2

How to manage Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

Accepted Answer

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or Product Cost is essentially one big part of your total costs. Simply put, COGS of one product is how much it costs you, as opposed to how much you charge customers (Sales price).

With TrueProfit, you can manage your COGS easily.

Follow this video tutorial or read below for instructions.

${youtube}Set up COGS

There are 3 ways to import COGS into TrueProfit: Estimating COGS, entering manually or uploading a .csv file.

1. Estimate COGS

For a store with many products, it can take a lot of time to enter all COGS. Luckily, you can roughly estimate COGS based on Sales price.

Go to Cost Settings > COGS > Estimated COGS Rate. You'll find a slider representing COGS as the percentage of Sales price. For example, if you define the percentage as 20%, sales price is $100, then your COGS is $20.

What if there are some products that don't follow this rule? You can then use the second method to specifically adjust them.

2. Enter COGS manually

Old school but accurate. You can add COGS for each product (or variant). For winning products, we strongly advise that you specifically enter COGS to get best results.

Go to Cost Settings > COGS > Product List. You'll see a list of your products in store. Simply enter the product costs in the COGS column. This value will be applied to all variants of the sa
