Add product costs
Margin simulation needs to know what your products cost. Store Steward picks a cost for each product from the first source that has one:
- WooCommerce native Cost of Goods Sold, when that feature is switched on in WooCommerce.
- The Store Steward cost field on the product’s General tab.
- Cost data from supported cost-of-goods plugins.
- Your default margin percentage (Settings, “Default margin when cost is unknown”; the default is 40).
To add costs in bulk, go to the Promotions tab, open Product costs and upload a CSV with the columns sku,cost or product_id,cost, or paste the CSV text. The screen shows how many in-stock products have a real cost.
Where a product uses the default margin, the simulation is only an estimate and is marked as one. Add real costs before you rely on a simulation to launch a campaign.
