What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its affordability and accurate tracking of costs and profits by product and time period. It's praised for handling large numbers of SKUs and its responsive support team. However, some suggest improvements like direct report printing and sortable information. The setup can be time-consuming without bulk pricing spreadsheets and it doesn't automatically calculate shipping costs, requiring manual input.

This app deserves the good reviews it has received. It has been amazing for me, yes it's time-consuming to back-track the data but once you have done this it's extremely efficient and easy to maintain. The app is exactly what I needed. I had a really successful Christmas period of sales, yet the profitability was shite and I didn't understand what the problem was. I downloaded the app in January. It allows you to track profitability by time period, such as day/month etc and also by product, product type etc. So, with it, I discovered my best selling category was actually losing me a lot of money through exit-intent pop-up discounts etc. Thanks to this app I've been able to improve product margins (by increasing prices, buying stock at better prices and doing fewer discounts) and am running profitably. You can't fix what you don't measure. Thank you for such a great app!

For the price, you can't beat SimplyCost. It helps me figure out how much money I am making off certain products and helps me figure out the dollar amount of inventory I have. Plus, the customer service is quick and easy.

Great app to get a simple overview of your profits and cost of stock. Of course this will not replace an accounting system and not factor in all your operating costs, but that is also not the point of the app. Very well worth the cost and good support!

I had tried another costing app in my attempt to get my COGS reporting and was struggling with it. Someone suggested this app and felt I had little to lose to try it. Within 2 days, I had all my cost info in and prior orders costed out. I had a few questions and issues, and the support was awesome. Not only did I get quick responses, but a software fix was put in place to manage a special case in just a few days. i am pleased with the reporting and found this to fill a gap in Shopify.

Excellent app to address the COGS deficiency in Shopify. Installation couldn't be easier. Integration with Shopify inventory management is smooth. When you add a product, just go to SimpyCost and click the "Variants without cost" link. All the new products and variants are displayed for you to easily input their costs. It's nice to see my profit in Shopify but the real value is to get the number for input to my accounting system. Rather than per order or even per day which would be a lot of time I make it a weekly task which Simplycost makes very easy. The Simplycost Inventory report is my primary tool for tracking and planning my inventory purchases. This app is great value!

A nice and comprehensive app to track your cost of goods and make reports on your profits, which is of course very useful. It does calculate the cost of goods automatically based on the prices you set BUT you can always input the cost of an order manually.

Could be better - doesn't seem to switch between different shopify sites using this app. which is a problematic if you are running a couple of sites and using Simply Cost. There's no login / log out function with in the app. I hope this can be resolved.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Store switching is in the development road map. I will definitely let you know once it is available. At the moment, I will email you a couple of workaround that you can use the app if you have multiple store :)

So far the app is helping me out alot knowing where we stand with our COG and provides a very easy to use and understandable way of looking at how your store is going fianically. Highly recommended!
