See every featureCostCue helps merchants clean up product margin data inside the admin. It scans products, variants, SKUs, inventory items, and margin fields to create a focused task inbox for missing values, zero values, below-margin risks, and duplicate SKUs. Merchants can run scans, open products to fix data, mark tasks done, and snooze tasks from one focused workflow.
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.
