Overview

Seller Snap has introduced a feature to automatically calculate and populate the 'additional cost' column with inbound shipping costs based on item weight. This tool ensures accurate profit margin calculations for FBA listings by including inbound shipping costs.

How It Works

The tool uses the weight of each SKU and the user-inputted shipping cost per pound or kilogram to compute the inbound shipping cost. This calculated cost is then automatically added to the 'additional cost' column. The feature works for both metric and imperial depending on the specific marketplace.

Example:

  • Item Weight: 500 grams (0.5 KG)

  • Cost per Kilogram: $10.00

Calculation:

  • Weight-Based Additional Cost = Item Weight X Cost Per KG or LB

  • Weight-Based Additional Cost = 0.5KG X $10.0

  • Therefore, the additional cost added is $5.00.

User Instructions

How to activate the feature.

  1. Navigate to Store Settings.

  2. Go to the Inventory section.

  3. Locate the Weight-Based Additional Cost Feature.

  4. Input the price per KG or LB.

  5. Click Apply Settings
