COGS tracking without the spreadsheet ritual
For founders maintaining a margin spreadsheet that is out of date the day after they update it.
Shopify does not track what products cost you. So margins live in a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet drifts from reality, and every pricing or ad decision is made against stale numbers.
How Lytix solves it
1. Enter costs once, per product
A clean COGS setup in settings, with your catalog pulled in automatically.
2. Lytix layers the rest on top
Shipping, transaction fees, discounts and ad spend join COGS to produce true per-order profit.
3. Margins update live
Every order recomputes product and blended margins. No exports, no formulas.
4. Anomalies get flagged
Test orders and outliers are auto-suggested for exclusion so your numbers stay honest.
What this saves you
- The weekly spreadsheet update nobody enjoys
- Pricing decisions made on stale cost data
- Margin surprises discovered at tax time
Retire the margin spreadsheet

Common questions
Do I have to enter COGS for every product?
You set per-product costs once in Lytix; new products prompt for costs as they appear. Everything else is automatic.
Can it exclude test orders?
Yes. Lytix auto-suggests exclusions for test and gift orders so they stop polluting your margins.
