How to track cost of goods sold on Shopify
COGS is the product cost assigned to goods sold, rather than the total cash spent buying inventory. Gross profit subtracts COGS from net sales; net profit also accounts for advertising, shipping, fees and overhead.
- Record the cost per variant using a supported manual or supplier workflow.
- Use dated rules when costs change and country or quantity rules where appropriate. Check how your selected method applies to existing orders.
- Inspect sample orders for missing costs. Keep supplier-included fulfillment or shipping out of separate expense lines to avoid double counting.
| 10 units sold at USD 12 each | $120.00 |
|---|---|
| 5 units sold at USD 14 each | $70.00 |
| Total COGS for 15 units sold | $190.00 |
With USD 500 of net sales, gross profit is USD 310 before other costs. This is an illustrative allocation, not a claim that every cost method automatically preserves historical costs.
