We’ve heard you: the old COGS page could feel confusing and hard to manage. So we’re rolling out a simpler COGS experience that’s easier to set up and more predictable.
On February 4, 2026, your COGS data will be migrated automatically. Some features will change or be removed, so please read this guide to see what’s new and what to do before migration to keep your numbers accurate.

Why TrueProfit upgraded the COGS page
The old COGS page showed too many features in one place (Quantity Break, Historical COGS, cost source, and more). This felt overwhelming—especially if you only needed basic costs.
Even for advanced users, the old Quantity Break (bundle cost) setup was hard to understand and easy to set up incorrectly.
So we upgraded the COGS page to make it:
simpler and clearer
easier to set up
with fewer “hidden rules”
with some features redesigned, and some removed
1. Quantity Break is transformed into bundle cost
1.1 Before (Quantity Break)
Quantity Break helped you apply supplier discounts when customers buy multiple units. However:
The Quantity Break settings were hidden behind small icon buttons, so many users didn’t notice them.
The previous setup was confusing because supplier pricing formats often didn’t match the format TrueProfit required. This could lead to incorrect costs and inaccurate profit reports.
And the format was based on cost per unit.
For one item, the cost is $9.
The total cost for 2 items is $15
For three items, it's $20.
Here’s how it worked:
Buy 1 unit at $9 → the cost per unit is $9.00.
For 2 units at a total of $15 → you divide 15 by 2, so $7.50 per unit.
If they buy 3 units for $20 → that’s $6.66 per unit.
This approach makes sure the bundle cost is 100% accurate.
But the trade-off is you’re stuck doing math every time — because supplier pricing is usually given as total bundle price, not cost per unit. So the format often didn’t match what TrueProfit required.
1.2 Now (Bundle Cost in the main view)
Quantity Break is now called Bundle Cost, and it shows directly on the main COGS page.
You can enter bundle costs exactly like your supplier gives you—no extra calculation.
Example supplier costs
1 unit = $11.94
2 units = $19.78
3 units = $27.37
4 units = $36.40
How to enter in TrueProfit
Set Cost per unit = $11.94
Add Bundle Cost tiers starting from 2 units (not 1)
Quantity | Total cost |
2 units | 19.78 USD |
3 units | 27.37 USD |
4 units | 36.4 USD |
Important:
You can set Bundle Cost at Product level or Variant level (not both at the same time).
Product-level edit: Changes apply to all variants.
Variant-level edit: Changes apply only to that variant.

1.3 What this means to you
Your existing Quantity Break tiers will be migrated into Bundle Cost tiers:
Product-level Quantity Break → Product-level Bundle Cost
Variant-level Quantity Break → Variant-level Bundle Cost
1.4. What you need to do
After migration, review Bundle Cost tiers for a few products/variants to make sure they match what you intended.
2. Historical COGS is removed
2.1 Before (Historical COGS)
Historical COGS lets you set different product costs for different time ranges, so you could track cost changes over time. This was often used with Quantity Break when suppliers changed bundle pricing.
But the trade-off was complexity: history at both product and variant level made setup more manual and harder to manage — while only about 3% of users used it.
2.2 Now (Historical COGS removed)
In the new COGS experience, Historical COGS is no longer available.
This change makes cost setup:
clearer
faster
easier to maintain
and removes “hidden states” that made COGS harder to understand and support.Now we use one COGS value — your latest cost — so setup is faster and you don’t have to manage multiple cost periods.
2.3 What this means to you
You can no longer set historical cost rules in COGS settings.
You can only see the most recent cost change for Cost per unit.
Reports will use your current COGS setup (Cost per Unit + Bundle Cost).
After the migration date (February 4, 2026), if you update costs and click Save on the COGS page, TrueProfit will auto-recalculate—and those changes can affect past orders.
2.4 What you can do to preserve past values
Before the migration date (February 4, 2026):
Migration may automatically update COGS data, which can change COGS for past orders in the Orders Report. To keep past order COGS unchanged, complete the Export → Import as close to the migration date as possible (ideally on February 3, 2026) so it includes all recent orders up to that date.
Orders Report → Export → Import (upload the file back).
This locks your past order COGS, even if COGS data changes during migration.
2. Export your current COGS data to your computer so you can compare it later with the new COGS version.
After migration:
Review a few past orders/products to confirm the results match your expectations.
3. Handling Fee is removed
3.1 Handling Fee removed
Handling Fee is removed to keep COGS cleaner and easier to understand.
3.2 What this means to you
You will no longer manage Handling Fee inside COGS settings.
Orders created after the migration date (February 4, 2026) will not include Handling Fee.
You can still view Handling Fees for previous orders in Orders Report or your Dashboard.
3.3 What you should do (recommended)
To keep your reports accurate, you can:
If your Handling Fee is per product:
Add it into "Cost per unit" in the COGS page, so your total costs in the Order Report stay accurate.
Example: Cost per unit = $10, Handling Fee = $0.50 → set Cost per unit to $10.50
If your Handling Fee is per order:
Add it as a Custom Cost (as a separate cost category).
In Custom Cost, select: Variable cost → USD/order → start date → no end date

Also:
Compare a few orders before and after migration to make sure Total Cost and Net Profit on the Dashboard still match your expectations.
If you need help choosing the best solution, contact support and share how you used Handling Fee before.
4. No more manual re-calculate
After you change costs in the COGS page, just click Save (top-right). TrueProfit will automatically recalculate past orders. You no longer need to click Re-calculate.
5. “Set to level” toggle is removed
“In the old version, the Set to level toggle was designed to switch between applying one COGS value for the whole product, or setting different COGS per variant.
For example, switching to product level when every variant has the same cost.
But in reality, many users read it like an on/off switch to enable COGS fields, so it created confusion.
In the new version, we remove that toggle. Now it’s simple: you edit one level at a time.
6. No more Cost source column
In the old version, we showed a Cost source column because COGS could come from Shopify, integrations, or manual input and you had to switch the source before you could edit. That added extra steps.
For example, if your COGS was coming from Shopify and you wanted to edit it, you first had to change the source to manual, then you could edit.
Now we’ve removed the Cost source column. If you want to update COGS, you simply click Edit and Save. No need to change the source manually.
TrueProfit will automatically switch the source for you, and we’ll show icons so you can still clearly see where the cost is coming from. Easier and more automatic
7. No more import, export, and Bulk Action
In the old version, we offered COGS import/export and bulk actions, like editing COGS or changing the source for many products at once, for advanced workflows.
But only a small number of merchants used them, and they made the COGS page heavier and more crowded for everyone else.
So for now, we’re removing these tools to keep the page clean and easier to use. We’ll monitor feedback closely, and if you really need import/export or bulk actions, please let us know. If we see strong demand, we’ll bring them back in a clearer, more user-friendly way.
