Aura uses total costs (Buy Costs + Additional Costs) to calculate profit metrics and to set automatic Min/Max prices.
💡 Hint: Aura requires Minimum prices as the lower limit for repricing. This means you also need a cost if you're setting Min prices through your strategy.
Aura will automatically account for your referral and fulfillment fees but any prep, storage, shipping or other fees you take on should be added to the Additional Cost field for Aura to account for them.
Adding Costs automatically and in bulk
1. Integrations with third party tools
Aura can import your Buy Costs from InventoryLab, ScanPower, RestockPro, or Boxem through the Integrations page in Aura. Toggle on the connection in both apps to get started.
Check out the guide.
2. Using the Uploads feature
Download a template of your listings and enter both Buy Costs (shown as 'costs') and Additional Costs (shown as 'additional_costs') for upload.
We recommend using Uploads if you don't use any tools with an available integration.
Check out the guide.
Adding costs manually
You can also update any listing by manually adding and saving Buy Costs and Additional Costs. This happens in two places:
1. Enter costs on the Listings page
Adjust and add values in the Buy Cost or Additional Cost column. Make sure to click the blue save button or press enter on your keyboard to save your changes.
2. Enter costs while viewing a listing
Head to the listing page and click to edit the Buy Cost or Additional Cost fields. Press save or enter to lock in the value.
