Other Cost: Additional Variable Order Costs

Additional variable order costs beyond handling, gateway, and shipping—includes per-order fees, per-item fees, and percentage-based costs.

Formula

Other Cost = SUM ( Per-Order Fees + Per-Item Fees + Percentage Fees )

Formula Components

Per-Order Fees	Fixed fees charged per order (e.g., insurance, packaging)

Example

Your store incurred $3,420 in other costs this month across 1,140 orders:

Cost Type	Total
Insurance per order	$1,140
Pick & pack per item	$1,680
Platform fees (1.5%)	$600
Other Cost	$3,420

How It Works

Other Cost aggregates variable order costs that aren’t captured by handling, gateway, or shipping. Configure these in Upstack Cost Settings as per-order fees, per-item fees, or percentage-based costs. These costs are included in Variable Costs and affect CM2 calculations.
