See every featureShopify keeps each product's COGS as one number in your store's currency. When you buy in yuan, euros or dong, that number goes stale as exchange rates move, and your profit reports drift with it. CostBuffer stores each supplier's invoice amount in their currency, converts it with official exchange rates and updates Shopify's COGS field.
You import goods at FOB cost, but freight, insurance and customs duty make the true cost higher, and it hides inside the whole shipment. TrueBatch allocates every landed cost across each purchase batch to the exact cent, writes the true cost to your Shopify products after your review, and suggests prices at your target margin. Batch in, true cost out.
