Cogsy vs Landed Cost Receiving
Landed Cost Receiving does the allocation job: when a transfer shipment is received in Shopify, you enter the freight, duty and fees, it spreads them by value, quantity or weight and writes a weighted-average cost per item, with undo. Cogsy does not allocate. It records per-unit costs by kind, date and supplier, including selling costs, and costs bundles.

About Landed Cost Receiving
A receiving-side costing app: when a transfer shipment is received in Shopify, the merchant enters invoice extras such as freight, duty, brokerage and insurance and the app spreads them across the received lines. After a preview it writes a new weighted-average cost per item to Shopify and logs the change.

How Landed Cost Receiving handles product cost
The costing method is weighted average: the vendor describes the new unit cost as current cost times prior on-hand units plus the landed total, divided by the combined units. Extras are allocated per shipment by value, quantity or weight, previewed, and only written to each variant's Cost per item when the merchant confirms. Every write is recorded in a cost-history ledger that can be undone per batch and exported to CSV. The vendor's launch post says Shopify's public API does not expose purchase orders and shipments carry no cost fields, so extra costs are entered manually in the app. FIFO is not mentioned.
What Landed Cost Receiving does that Cogsy does not
- Allocates freight, duty and fees across a received shipment by value, quantity or weight
- Weighted-average cost recalculated against on-hand units at receipt
- Picks up Shopify's native received transfer shipments automatically
