# Cost Price

> Track product cost prices in storekit to enable margin analysis, profitability reporting, and AI-powered menu engineering. Never shown to customers.

The cost price field lets you record your cost for each product. This data is never shown to customers and is used for internal reporting and upcoming AI features.

## Setting Cost Price

1. Go to your [storekit dashboard](https://dashboard.storekit.com)
2. Navigate to **Menu**
3. Click into a **Category**
4. Click the product you want to edit
5. Enter your cost in the **Cost** field
6. Click **Save**

<Tip>
  Include all costs that go into producing the item - ingredients, packaging, and any per-item labour costs.
</Tip>

## Upcoming: AI-Powered Upsells

Cost data will power advanced AI upsell models that optimise for margin, not just revenue. By understanding your costs, the AI can:

* Recommend high-margin items during checkout
* Suggest add-ons that maximise profitability
* Prioritise upsells based on contribution margin rather than price alone

<Info>
  Adding cost data now means you'll be ready when these features launch.

## Best Practices

* **Keep costs updated** - Review and update costs quarterly or when supplier prices change
* **Be consistent** - Use the same cost calculation method across all products
* **Include everything** - Factor in packaging, waste, and any per-unit costs
