How to Set Up COGS
COGS stands for cost of goods sold. By default, Juicy uses the cost you've already set on the product in Shopify. The COGS tab lets you go further, entering exact, volume-based pricing when your supplier or sourcing agent charges differently depending on order quantity.
Why use the COGS tab instead of the Shopify product cost?
If your product always costs the same to produce, the default Shopify "cost of goods" is enough, and you don't need to touch this feature. The COGS tab exists for cases where your supplier gives you a quote with different prices depending on how many units you order at once, so Juicy can calculate your exact profit instead of a flat estimate.
How to enter it in the app
Open the COGS tab on the product and enter the cost for each quantity tier from your supplier's quote.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need this if I already set a product cost in Shopify?
No. If your product always has the same cost, the default Shopify cost of goods is enough. This feature is only useful for more detailed, volume-based pricing.
What happens if I only fill in 1 or 2 quantity tiers?
For orders with 3 or more units, Juicy covers the total quantity using your entered brackets: the largest bracket as many times as it fits, then the remainder with smaller brackets. For example, if 1 unit costs $5 and 2 units cost $8, a 3-unit order is calculated as one 2-unit bracket ($8) plus one 1-unit bracket ($5), for $13 total. A 4-unit order is calculated as two 2-unit brackets (2 × $8), for $16 total.
What if my supplier's price already includes shipping?
That's fine, just enter the total cost (product plus shipping) exactly as shown on the quote. That's exactly what Juicy needs to calculate accurate profit.
