Once you click to export the Cost of Goods to a CSV file, it will be downloaded to your device automatically
Note that the list of products in your export file will depend on the COGS Zone you choose. The Worldwide zone will include all products in your store.
In the downloaded Product Cost file, make sure you edit only the COGS and Handling Fee columns and keep all other column the same so that you can import the file back successfully
Do not make edits in the Sale price column, TrueProfit automatically syncs your product's sale price from Shopify.
The fixed decimal format in the CSV is separated by a dot, not a comma. If you make changes in the COGS or Handling Fee values, make sure to use a dot for decimal.
Do not add or change the order of the columns and rows so that our app can recognize the correct data when you import the file back.
