Avoid running out or overbuying, catch price rises before stock lands, and see margins on real cost.
Shopify creates purchase orders but keeps Cost per item fixed when stock arrives. True COGS works with them. Before you buy, it fills quantities for the days you choose from recent sales, less stock on hand and on the way, at your last price from each supplier, in a file Shopify imports. Before stock lands, it checks each line against that price. On arrival, it writes your average or FIFO cost to Cost per item, plus any freight and duty you add. Each sale's profit uses that day's cost.
- Fill order quantities from recent sales, less stock on hand and on the way
- Ask Sidekick what to reorder; it drafts the purchase order at your last prices
- Check open purchase orders against what you last paid, with rises flagged
- Let received purchase orders set Cost per item to your average or FIFO cost
- Start from your Stocky purchase orders, imported as dated cost history

I installed this expecting another cost field. What I got is a ledger — every price I pay written once and kept permanently. So March's margin still reads as March's margin when I look in September.
The freight and duty allocation alone was worth the price. HS code in, real rate out, landed in that receipt's unit cost. Replaced a spreadsheet I'd kept badly for two years.
What won me over: I refunded an order without restocking, and it showed me a worse margin, with a line explaining the stock was paid for, refunded and gone. Most tools would quietly delete the sale and flatter me.
It's honest about limits too — it won't invent an exchange rate for a foreign invoice, and says so.
Not for you if you sell consignment or one-of-a-kind stock; it assumes you own what you sell.
I've stopped keeping a parallel spreadsheet
TrueCogs has been a great addition to our store. The dashboard is easy to understand and gives clear insights into profitability and marketing performance. It helped us make better decisions with our ad spend and focus on what’s actually driving growth.
Thank you for this, and for being our first review.
True COGS keeps the cost record Shopify doesn't: what you actually paid for each item, written once and never rewritten, in a ledger you can hand an accountant and have them check for themselves.
Great app for Shopify COGS tracking. It keeps a complete cost history, calculates average costs automatically, and makes inventory valuation and reporting much easier. Simple, reliable, and highly recommended!
