Great app, one of our favs and something we have been using for years now! Much better way to manage costings for our business vs the standard shopify field. Thank you very much for your support all these years!
Simply Cost is amazing. It has built-in "catches" and helpful tips that have enabled us to utilize so many of its wonderful features that I do not have time to take tutorials for. I am a small business and a one-person show so the tips help me see SC's capabilities. I inherited a bad system from previous manager and Shopify and Simply Cost have helped us find simple solutions to complex problems and with this dynamic duo, I have been able to get all inventory discrepancies lower and lower every year for the last 5 years. Simply Cost is our go-to for monthly inventory reports and for tracking profits as well as looking at sales data for improving ordering process, etc. And lastly, but of great importance, the customer service I have received from Simply Cost (talking to you too, Sam!!!) has been beyond stellar! In one inquiry, they resolved an issue of a "ghost in the machine" that I had been dealing with for 4 years that Shopify help had been unable to resolve and Sam at Simply Cost was able to fix from their end. Professional, responsive, and gave me a detailed explanation of how the system works on their end so I could easily understand and know that it was not something I was doing. Amazing!! Highly recommend Simply Cost without hesitation! Thank you very much for your in depth review and your support all these years!
We have been using SimplyCost ‑ Profit Tracking for a number of years. We find it especially useful when we're doing our end of year inventory. Thank you very much for your review! I am glad that you find it useful.
We have been using Simply Cost for 6 years now and still use it monthly for extensive reports that aren’t as accessible or comprehensive via Shopify. 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much for your kind words! We wouldn’t be here without the support of customers like you. If you ever have any advise or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Gut, übersichtlich, einfache anwendung. Passt alles und hat alles was man braucht. Für 5 Euro die beste App meiner Meinung nach
We use this app to track profitability on the days we send email promotions with a discounted product. Since in this app we can see not only sales, but actual profit on that day, it helps us compare our various promotions to see which ones are the most profitable (rather than just bring the most overall revenue). The app works great, and when I recently had an issue with some reporting getting messed up (not SimplyCost's fault, but it was affecting the reports there) they fixed it for me immediately. Highly recommended.
Excellent app! It's my "go to" dashboard and I use it multiple times daily. Let's me know how my business is REALLY doing. Once upon a time I gauged my business through Total Sales on Shopify Dashboard, then I got smarter and looked at Net Sales, and now I've even smarter and use SimplyCost to look at what really matters - Profit. It's a "must have" app!
Great app! Before using SimplyCost, I was lost trying to manually track COGS using multiple sheets and was in the dark with final net profits. This changed all of that. Big up
Hi, We love your app but don't need it. Where can we cancel our subscription? I can't find it anywhere and also any email that I could write to you. Thanks Hi there, to cancel all you need to do is delete the app from the Apps section in your Shopify Admin. If you have problem doing so, you can email to support@zapfor.com.
This app makes it really easy to see what your actual profit margins are. It’s simple to install and the reports are far better than what Shopify gives you. The “current inventory” value is also very useful for tracking overall inventory cost. Updating my review months later: EXTREMELY happy with this app, and the customer support has been top notch. App is priced really fairly too!
Great app. I began using this app 2 years ago to track COGS. I continue to use this app because from an accounting perspective simplycost delivers more accurate/ user-friendly reports than shopify's reports. It also offers powerful yet simple business decision tools such as vendor profitability reports, product type profitability reports, and inventory snapshots. I also use the export sales orders feature monthly which provides detail on all sales. Overall, it's a must have app at this price that I'd highly recommend. ~ cutieschildrensboutique.com
Pretty simple but powerful. Does exactly what advertised - helps to track your costs and profits. There is even a bit simplified way to track overhead. Anyway, good up for a great price.
Very useful app even after Shopify's addition of adding a cost field built in the platform recently. SimplyCost simply works. The two times I had a question about the app I received a prompt response. Great app and great support! Thank you!
Great app, simple to use and enables you to see important financial information easily. Reasonable price.
We love this app. We've been using it for a long time now and it's terrific. We can see our total stock on hand by cost and our margin. Plus we can get reports that show our profitability by supplier. There's more, I could go on and on. If you want reports based around your cost price then get this app. It is wonderful value for money.
It's fairly straight forward to use, and it does what it promises. For 5 dollars it offers a lot of value for money, I think that most apps overcharge you on Shopify, this one doesn't really.
A nice and comprehensive app to track your cost of goods and make reports on your profits, which is of course very useful. It does calculate the cost of goods automatically based on the prices you set BUT you can always input the cost of an order manually.
This app is so easy to use, and has helped us tremendously to track COGS. There are some features/reports I have yet to utilize, but so far it's doing exactly what I need it to. Very satisfied with this app.
Nice app to keep track of profit for products, inventory value and more
This app is very useful to track COGS, quantities sold and other analytics. Would definitely recommend.
Very useful app to see if you are actually making money on your orders after shipping and transaction costs. The app also shows the total cost of all your inventory and the potential profit on it. The app is very affordable for people like me living in a country with a crappy exchange rate where a dollar costs me almost R15... Thank you for not ripping off the little guys in Africa like Shopify and some of the other Shopify apps.
Simply Cost is a cost effective and easy way to track COGS for our sales and samples we send out.
UPDATE: I've been using Simply cost for about a year now and it's my favorite app without a doubt. If you're wondering which app to use - use this one! ORIG REVIEW: We have over 23,000 SKUs and this app is phenomenal. It does exactly what is promised, is stable and bug free, and Sam has been incredibly helpful with my questions. Would recommend to anyone looking to get straight forward information about their cost of goods sold! Keep up the great work Sam!
Brilliant App, highly recommended, makes it so simple to keep track of profit/loss and stock value!
Works Great. I am using this to quick compare products profit loss. Definitely going to keep using it.
Love this app, been using it for a while now, keeping track of costs, shipping and profit are done very well. Looked for something else to do this but could not find any other at the time. This app does the job it says it does. Thanks
Love this app! Such an easy way to check the total cost value of my entire inventory at any one time, and I'm slowly learning to use it to look at margins and order profits too.
Great app that does what it says. I have been using SimplyCost for a while now, and I use it daily. I mostly ease it for keeping track of the profit on a day to day basic. After focusing on profit, it has increased 3 times, and the sales are only increased 1,5 time, so focusing on the profit has had a positive impact on the business - thanks to SimplyCost.
We're new to the app - but really like it. Super easy to use. So far, so good!
I love this application, it allows to have a quick overview of the costs / benefits and as a bonus, we can export the data for the accountant. Many hours of work saved. Wow! J'adore cette application, elle permet d'avoir un aperçu rapide des coûts/bénéfices et en prime, on peut exporter les données pour le comptable. Beaucoup d'heure de travail de sauvé. Wow!
Simple and easy way to value current inventory and calculate COGS instantly. Much faster than my old system of Excel spreadsheets, which I updated monthly (or less). Very fair monthly fee, too.
Owning a family business means that COGS vs profit is a crucial aspect for our future. The set-up process was a little difficult for me since we already had inventory in the system. Sam immediately assisted me and continued through (the night) until I finally had all our information formatted correctly. SimplyCost saves me a substantial amount of time since it calculates the sales while including discounts, refunds, taxes and shipping. The reporting aspect of the App shows me when our store is performing well and which products or variants are most profitable. The very reasonable cost and Sam’s impeccable customer service is well worth it!
Absolutely WONDERFUL app!! If you need to track your profit, this is it!! Very easy to import cost prices and customize other costs to find out what your true profit is. Well worth it, one of the BEST apps I have for Shopify! Cynthia PolishPotteryHouse.com
One of our must have apps that makes accounting so much easier. Simple to use and works perfectly!
Great app to get a simple overview of your profits and cost of stock. Of course this will not replace an accounting system and not factor in all your operating costs, but that is also not the point of the app. Very well worth the cost and good support!
Its a super good app....I use it every month to add COGS to each item and to download reports at the end of the accounting period.
I had tried another costing app in my attempt to get my COGS reporting and was struggling with it. Someone suggested this app and felt I had little to lose to try it. Within 2 days, I had all my cost info in and prior orders costed out. I had a few questions and issues, and the support was awesome. Not only did I get quick responses, but a software fix was put in place to manage a special case in just a few days. i am pleased with the reporting and found this to fill a gap in Shopify.
This app makes things so much easier for us. Thank you
This app has been amazing for me. I had alot of back tracking to do and the app made it easy to go back and update everything from the time my store opened until now. Super easy to use and I love all of the reports it offers.
Very happy with the app. A very simple way to keep track of your profit. It's easy to add extra costs to allow for shipping and packaging. The reports are clear and easy to read. I especially like the report by month that lets you see how your revenue, cost of sales, and profit are tracking. The bulk update via a spreadsheet is also very useful for see all the prices of our kids watches that we sell in NZ.
A great app - laid out well and easy to use. We have over 12k SKU's and now with the app can account for cost margins for all the items. Sam is very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend.
First time I installed it, it did not work. Left feedback and then support contacted me. Apparently they were fixing the servers. Then I went back and installed it again. It worked this time and I was able to download the template csv so I can upload the COGS. Bulk upload status email was in spam folder. Other than that, app works fine and developer is on point in support. Numbers are correct. Everything works fine. Although, it would be good to be able include fees we incur from other marketplace like eBay, Amazon, PayPal, etc. But even without it, you can still manually calculate it with the help of this app (get the total profit the app gives you and subtract the marketplace fees from it). Maybe if we had more sales, we might use this but right now a simple excel sheet with formulas are easier.
This app is very important for us (www.nomadostore.com), we've been managing inventory (450+ SKUs) without having having a clear view on the value of our stock and without being able to track profitability on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. This wasn't a major issue until a few months ago when our business really took off. Updating individual products is quite simple and the bulk upload function is very impressive. The app also comes with a range of useful reports. Support from the developer has been perfect, we couldn't be happier.
Love this app for the simple fact that I did inventory for my taxes in about 30 seconds! I trust my online inventory counts and had no idea how to access them without this app - it calculates your number of pieces in inventory, amount you paid, and amount of profit you will gain. Available CSV downloads as well - so worth it! I also love seeing how much profit I made in a given month. Only wish was that I could figure out how to more accurately input my shipping costs per transaction, but now I use the shipping feature on Shopify and hoping that is calculated now that it is linked. Great app!
I have found this very useful for calculating an accurate figure of my cost of goods sold, an essential figure to know when calculating profit! Easy to use app and affordable.
Finally, a good application to validate our financial performance. You can not do without this application.
Excellent app to address the COGS deficiency in Shopify. Installation couldn't be easier. Integration with Shopify inventory management is smooth. When you add a product, just go to SimpyCost and click the "Variants without cost" link. All the new products and variants are displayed for you to easily input their costs. It's nice to see my profit in Shopify but the real value is to get the number for input to my accounting system. Rather than per order or even per day which would be a lot of time I make it a weekly task which Simplycost makes very easy. The Simplycost Inventory report is my primary tool for tracking and planning my inventory purchases. This app is great value!
Best App I tried for this. It gave me a whole different vision of my business and allowed to perform better. The only thing missing would be shipping cost calculation given 3rd party app developers, or with a given rate. I per example have 2 different rates, but it's not a fixed percentage that I charge my client. one is +20% the other is +35%.
I really enjoy using this app it is a great and very easy to use to manage my cost and profit.. I love it and highly recommend it!
Perfect for what i needed. Easy install, no complaints.
Excellent & easy to use app! Very helpful for tracking product cost and profit margin.
I find this very useful. Really simple but does exactly what I need it to do.
Bastante útil para nuestro proyecto cardellwatchstore.com
SimplyCost is a wonderful app with AMAZING customer service! I would have given anything to have discovered it sooner. Tracking our inventory costs and margins are much more seamless. They offer a free trial! TRY IT!!!!!! It only took us a few moments to decide we were ready to commit!
Very helpful and finally completes our POS and online store! Great reports, easy to use and very helpful!!!! Highly recommend!
This is the best app that's happened to us for months. Used to spend literally hours a month working out the profit and now it's done in seconds. Works perfectly and excellent support too. Install it now!
Exactly what Shopify is missing, a simple way to add and run reports on COGS! It runs really quickly. The developer is very responsive and we appreciate the support provided.
