Shipping costs represent the cost you pay to deliver orders to customers. Adding shipping costs enables accurate gross profit and contribution margin calculations.

​
How Shipping Costs Work

Shipping costs can be entered as:
  • Flat rate per order: Same cost for every order
  • Percentage of shipping revenue: e.g., 80% of what customer paid
  • Per-order values: Custom cost per order via upload
