Not every product has one flat cost. Bundles combine several items into one SKU, and some products cost you less per unit at higher quantities. Shopshot supports both so your margin stays accurate when a simple unit cost would be wrong.

Bundle costs
A bundle is a single SKU made of multiple items. Set the bundle's cost from the combined cost of its components, so the profit on a bundle reflects what it actually cost you to assemble, not the cost of a single item.
Quantity-based costs
When your unit cost changes with order size (for example a lower per-unit cost above a threshold), set quantity-based costs so each order uses the right unit cost for the quantity purchased. This keeps margin honest on both small and large orders.
Which to use
Situation | Use |
One SKU that ships as several items | Bundle cost |
A SKU whose per-unit cost drops at higher quantities | Quantity-based cost |
A stable single cost per unit | A simple flat COGS |
Common questions
A bundle's margin looks wrong. What should I check? Confirm the bundle cost reflects all its components, not just one, and that the component costs themselves are set.
Do quantity tiers apply retroactively? New settings apply to future orders and are snapshotted onto them. Past orders keep the cost that was true when they were placed.
Next step
For everything else, a flat cost per SKU is fastest. Bulk import the simple ones, then handle bundles and tiers by hand. → Import COGS via CSV
