Aura uses 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 cost field for Aura to account for them.
Adding costs automatically and in bulk
1. InventoryLab integration
Aura can import your costs from InventoryLab through the integration. Toggle on the connection in both apps to get started.
Check out the guide.
2. InventoryLab reports
You can also upload either an Inventory Valuation or Closed Batch report into Aura.
This comes in handy if you don't want to wait the 24 hours for the integration to run.
3. Using the Uploads feature
Download a template of your listings and enter costs for upload.
We recommend using Uploads if you don't use InventoryLab.
Check out the guide.
Adding costs manually
You can also update any listing by manually adding and saving a Cost. This happens in two places:
1. Enter costs on the Listings page
Adjust and add values in the cost column. Make sure to click the blue save button or press enter on your keyboard to save your changes.
2. Enter a cost while viewing a listing
Head to the listing page and click to edit the Cost field. Press save or enter to lock in the value.
