How it sells itself

Margin protection for Shopify merchants importing physical goods. Tariffs jump. Freight is volatile. Suppliers raise prices. Your dashboard still shows revenue is fine — but which SKUs are quietly losing money? Landed Cost Radar pulls your catalog, lets you enter supplier cost, freight, duty, and origin country per variant, then ranks worst offenders by inventory dollars at risk.

CostPulse scans products, variants, and recent orders to show which sales have unknown gross margin because costs are missing. Merchants can enter temporary costs for a scan, reveal negative-margin orders, and export issues to CSV for cleanup.

Key points
  • True gross margin per variant — not markup
  • What-if calculator for tariff and freight changes
  • CSV cost importer with auto-column-detection
  • Weekly margin-risk digest, CFO-forwardable
  • Find variants with missing product costs
  • See revenue with unknown gross margin
  • Flag low-margin and negative-margin orders

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
