Use Shopify Products & Costing

Attach unit-based Wallet expenses to synced Shopify products to estimate what one product costs to make.

Short answer

Open Products & Costing, choose a synced Shopify product, add a cost source from a Wallet expense with quantity and unit, enter the amount used per product, and review the estimated total cost.

Products & Costing is a lightweight estimate for Shopify-connected sellers. It answers “approximately what does it cost me to make one?”

Prepare a cost source

In Wallet, add the material or expense with:

  • The total amount paid.
  • A quantity.
  • A unit such as pieces, boxes, grams, kilograms, feet, or liters.

DMNexa can then calculate a cost per unit for that expense.

Attach it to a product

  1. Open Products & Costing from the tab, More, or the connected Shopify card.
  2. Select a synced Shopify product.
  3. On the Cost card, choose Add.
  4. Select an eligible Wallet expense.
  5. Enter how much of that unit one product uses.
  6. Save.

The total sums each attached quantity multiplied by its saved unit cost.

Fashion product example

Suppose a boutique records a $300 material purchase with a quantity of 1,000 square feet. The source rate is $0.30 per square foot. If one synced product uses four square feet, that expense contributes $1.20 to the product estimate. Packaging or another eligible source can be attached separately.

Use the real purchase total and a meaningful unit. The estimate is only as complete as the sources and usage amounts the seller enters.

Understand the snapshot

The unit rate is copied when you attach it. Editing, voiding, or deleting the source expense later does not silently change the product estimate. To use a newer material price, remove the cost item and attach it again from the appropriate expense.

This tool does not manage inventory, compare margin with every Shopify variant price, or replace accounting.

Frequently asked questions

Is Products & Costing inventory management?

No. It does not track stock on hand or deduct materials when a product sells.

Does a cost update when I edit the original expense?

No. The unit rate is snapshotted when attached. Remove and reattach the cost item to use a newer source rate.
