<h3>How “Cost of Goods” Improves Your Reporting</h3>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Gives you vital information about your business – adds information about store profit and most profitable products so you know about more than just revenue</li>
<li>Add a Cost of Good to each product (including variations!) to always know total costs of products sold in each order</li>
<li>Apply costs to previous orders (placed before installation) after you set product cost</li>
<li>View profit and cost by date range, by product, or by product category NEW</li>
<li>Export profit / cost report data to CSV NEW</li>
<li>Include costs in orders exported with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/ordercustomer-csv-export/">Order/Customer CSV Export Suite</a></li>
<li>Include costs in orders exported with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/customerorder-xml-export-suite/">Customer/Order XML Export Suite</a> NEW</li>

<li>See a total inventory valuation based on retail prices or cost of goods.</li>
<li>Quickly view costs next to prices in your product manager table display</li>
</ul>
<h3>Add Costs to Products</h3>
Quickly add a Cost of Good to each product, including product variations, which are then used to calculate your total order costs so that you can always know what you really earned on every order – not just how much you sold. Total costs for each order line item are saved at checkout, so even if your costs increase in the future, your total costs are always historically accurate.
<figure id="attachment_152654" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152654" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-cost-of-goods-set-product-cost.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152654" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-cost-of-goods-set-product-cost.png" alt="WooCommerce Cost of Goods Simple Product Cost Configuration" width="550" height="307" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152654" class="wp-caption-text">Simple Product Cost Configuration</figcaption></figure>
Adding costs to variable products is easy as well. You can add a default cost for all variations or set costs for a variation manually.
<h3>Focus Your Marketing on Top Products</h3>
The Cost of Goods extension allows you to determine your true top products by viewing which products are most profitable and least profitable for your store, not just those that generate the most revenue.
