Cogsy vs Triple Whale

Triple Whale is an analytics and attribution platform; product cost is a setting inside it. It imports cost per item from Shopify, keeps a cost history timeline and can optionally write cost changes back to Shopify. Cogsy is only about cost, and goes further on it: sources, your own cost kinds, bundles and a missing-cost list.

How Triple Whale handles product cost

The App Store listing does not mention COGS. The vendor's help article says cost per item already entered in Shopify (or BigCommerce) is imported automatically, and costs can be edited per product or per variant under Settings > Cost Settings. Edits stay inside Triple Whale by default, but an optional 'Bi-Directional COGs' feature reflects changes made in Triple Whale back to Shopify or BigCommerce. A Cost History Timeline lets a merchant add a cost with the date it took effect, and the article says COGS values are saved over time so daily calculations use time-specific costs. A handling fee can be set per product or as a fixed fee per order; for bulk changes on Shopify the article points merchants to Shopify's own bulk editor, and CSV upload of COGS is described only for WooCommerce accounts.
