See every featureTrack receipt costs in a dated ledger with cumulative receipt-weighted math you can inspect. Record receipts manually or by CSV; Plus adds completed Shopify PO PDF imports with an amount preview. Pro includes estimated monthly COGS, current inventory valuation and 30/60-day margin reports. Check coverage and uncosted units before using reports. CostLedger never overwrites Shopify's Cost per item.
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.
