How it sells itself

CostCue 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.

Selling the same product under multiple listings, photos, or collections? StockTwin links every variant that shares a SKU or barcode and keeps their inventory perfectly in sync across all your locations, in real time. When one sells, the rest update instantly, so you never oversell or show wrong stock counts again.

Key points
  • Find variants with missing or zero margin values
  • Spot products that may sell below recorded margin
  • Review low margin products before buying decisions
  • Find duplicate SKUs that make cleanup harder
  • Sync stock across duplicate SKUs and barcodes in real time
  • Sell bundles and kits without overselling their components
  • Reserve safety stock for wholesale and off-channel sales
  • Bulk sync hundreds of SKUs, import/export setup as CSV
