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.
