A WooCommerce extension that stores the cost of each product and reports profit on orders. It is used by store owners who want to see margins by product, category and date range. If you only need part of it, you can get a focused plugin built for your own site and pay once.
Cost of Goods for WooCommerce: $79 a year for one site (1-year subscription (one production site)).
Your own plugin on Pluginora: from $9 once, with 5 free changes. Try it first for $1.
What Cost of Goods for WooCommerce does

What you can build instead
A Pluginora plugin does one job for your site. For Cost of Goods for WooCommerce, that could be:
- A cost price field on products

- Show profit per order in the order screen
- A simple monthly profit total
A small custom plugin would not replace the full profit reports, inventory valuation or integrations with export and import extensions.
