Update distributor costs

Requires the Comics Catalog plan (or Retailer Ops). Compare plans.

The usual reason to revisit your distributor costs is hitting a new volume tier and qualifying for a better discount. Contract changes and adding a new distributor are the other triggers, but those are rare.

If you haven't set costs yet, start with Set your distributor costs.

What happens on save

Saving re-syncs unit costs on every product the card affects. Retail prices, inventory, and metafields are not touched.

The new cost lands on the variant's Cost per item field in Shopify. Any manual edits you made to that field directly in Shopify are preserved — the sync treats a cost you changed in Shopify the same way it treats an edited COMET metafield.

Past orders keep their old margin numbers

Shopify's profit, margin, and COGS reports use the unit cost that was on the variant at the time of sale. Updating the discount today only affects orders placed from now on — historical reports do not retroactively change.
