2. Syncing Unit Costs to Shopify
What does this mean?
Prediko can automatically keep the cost per item on your Shopify products up to date, based on what you actually pay your suppliers. This means your Shopify profit and margin reports reflect reality without any manual data entry.
Why does it matter?
Shopify lets you store a "Cost per item" on each product. Shopify uses it to calculate your profit and margin on the Analytics dashboards. But that cost usually gets entered once and then goes stale; for example, the prices from suppliers change, and nobody goes back to update hundreds of products by hand.
Prediko already knows your real costs from your purchase orders and inventory. This feature pushes that knowledge back into Shopify automatically, so:
Your Shopify margin and profit reports stay accurate.
You never have to manually update "Cost per item" again.
The cost in Shopify always matches what Prediko knows you paid.
How does it work?
Once enabled, Prediko checks your costs once a day and updates Shopify for you. You choose how the cost should be calculated — there are three options:
Option | What it uses | Best for |
Last purchase price | The cost from your most recent purchase order for that product | Businesses that want Shopify to reflect the latest price they paid |
Weighted average | The average cost across all your purchase orders, weighted by quantity | Businesses that want a smoothed, representative cost that isn't thrown off by one unusual order |
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) | The cost based on the order stock was actually purchased and sold | Businesses that want costs aligned with proper inventory accounting |
You pick one option for your account. Prediko handles the rest.
What gets updated?
Only finished products you sell are updated. Raw materials and components are never sent to Shopify (they aren't sold on your storefront, so they don't carry a sale cost).
A product is only updated when its cost has actually changed. If the cost is the same as last time, Prediko skips it. So, we don't make unnecessary changes to your store.
If a product appears in more than one Shopify store, the cost is updated in all of them, automatically converted into each store's currency.
Turning it on
This feature is off by default in a new Prediko account. Nothing changes in your Shopify store until you choose to enable it. To turn it on, you select your preferred costing method in your Prediko settings. To turn it off again, simply set it back to "off," and Prediko stops updating Shopify.
Good to know!
✅ Safe by design
Nothing is sent to Shopify until you explicitly turn the feature on.
Costs of 0 or blank are never pushed. In other words, a missing price will never overwrite a real one in Shopify.
If something goes wrong updating one store, your other stores are unaffected.
Updates run quietly in the background, once per day.
Some frequently asked questions:
Will this change my product prices?
No. This only updates the internal "Cost per item" field that Shopify uses for profit/margin reporting. Your selling prices are never touched.
How often does it update?
Once a day, automatically.
What if I sell the same product in multiple stores or currencies?
Each store is updated with the correct cost in its own currency.
Can I turn it off?
Yes, at any time. Just switch the costing method back to "None."
Does it update raw materials?
No. Only finished, sellable products receive a cost update.
