How It Works

Other COGS captures cost of goods that aren’t stored on Shopify product variants. Configure these as order cost entries with the COGS category. They’re summed across all orders and combined with product-level COGS to calculate Total COGS—giving you a complete picture of goods costs for margin analysis.
