Setting up your costs
Product costs, logistics rules, payment fees and overhead. The one-time work that makes the number real.
How do I add product costs?
Open Products, click a variant, and set its unit cost and the date it takes effect. Where Shopify already holds an inventory cost, nouz prefills it and marks it as coming from Shopify; anything you type is yours and a sync will never overwrite it.
Set the weight in the same panel. The shipping rate card needs it, and a variant without one is priced by a zone fallback and flagged.
What does the effective-from date do?
It says when the new value starts applying. Saving a cost closes the previous one the day before and opens a new one, so orders are always priced by the rule that was true when they were placed.
That means raising a supplier price today does not change what last quarter cost you. If you deliberately backdate a change, only the days from that date forward are recalculated.
How do shipping zones work?
You define the zones, each one a name and the countries it covers, and they are resolved first match. One catch-all zone always exists and cannot be deleted, so no order is ever left unpriced.
Each zone carries its own weight brackets. Pick and pack, packaging and return processing sit alongside the rate card and apply on top.
Where do I put an influencer retainer?
On the Overhead page, with the category set to Marketing. Anything categorised that way counts as marketing spend on the P&L rather than as overhead, so it lands in CM3 with your ad platforms.
It is recognised the same way as any other overhead entry: recurring costs prorated daily, one-off costs on the day they are booked.
