Real cost of goods sold
for your supplement brand on Shopify
Cold-chain freight, lab testing and compliance fees are product costs, not overheads. Landara lands them into the cost of every shipment, costs each Shopify order FIFO, and hands your bookkeeper a ready-to-post journal.

Why supplement costing is different
A new supplement or peptide brand carries costs most product businesses never see, and most of them never make it into the unit cost.
Testing per production run
Lab assays, certificates of analysis, stability testing. Hundreds of dollars per run that belong in the cost of that stock, not in an overheads account.
Cold-chain freight
Temperature-controlled air freight and express courier for small, high-value parcels. Per unit, freight is often a bigger cost than the product itself.
Run-to-run price swings
Raw material prices move fast. Two production runs of the same SKU can land at very different real costs, and one blended average hides which is which.
Expiry-driven rotation
You already ship oldest stock first because of expiry dates. If your costing method is not FIFO, your books assume a different order than your warehouse follows.
What a $7.50 bottle really costs to land
Price required for 60% margin
$26.70
Price off the $7.50 FOB cost and your real margin is 43%, not 60%. On a subscription product, that error compounds every single month.
Every shipment a cost layer, every order costed
Upload the invoices behind a shipment. Landara lands the costs, then FIFO does the rest.
Capture shipment costs
Drop the manufacturer invoice, freight bill and testing invoices. AI extracts every line and categorises freight, duty and fees.
Land the shipment
Allocate freight, testing and compliance costs across the shipment by value or quantity. Recoverable import GST is kept out, so stock is never overstated.
FIFO to the journal
Each landed shipment becomes a dated cost layer. Shopify orders deplete the oldest first, the same order you already ship expiry-dated stock, and period end produces a ready-to-post COGS journal.
Built for high-cost, small-run products
Features that matter when freight and testing dominate your unit cost.
Each shipment keeps its own cost
Every receipt lands at its own real cost and stays distinct in the cost ledger. When your accountant asks what the March shipment cost, there is an answer with documents behind it.
Costing that matches rotation
FIFO depletes the oldest stock first, the same order expiry-dated product already leaves the shelf. Landara does not track lot numbers or expiry dates; it makes sure the cost side follows the order your warehouse already does.
Testing costs where they belong
Assays and certificates are allocated into the shipment they relate to. Your true cost per bottle includes the compliance that made it sellable.
Subscription pricing you can trust
Recurring revenue makes a costing error recurring too. Know the real landed cost per unit before you set a subscription price you will honour for months.
Who uses Landara for supplements
New supplement brands
First contract-manufactured runs, tight cash, no finance team. Need to know the real cost per bottle before committing to a price.
Peptide & wellness startups
Small, high-value, cold-chain shipments where freight and testing dominate unit cost. Per-shipment FIFO layers keep every run's true cost visible.
Established Shopify sellers
Subscription volume on Xero or QuickBooks. Need a clean COGS journal each month and an inventory balance that survives an accountant's review.

Read more“Landara has made it much easier to keep track of my actual product costs. I really like that it takes things like shipping and duties into account instead of just showing the basic cost. Simple app, easy to use, and I’m already getting a much clearer idea of my real margins.”
“I installed Landara because I was getting tired of guessing what my inventory was actually costing me. What I liked most was being able to see the product cost together with things like shipping and duties, I've been trying to keep a closer eye on my margins, so having those costs in one place has made things much easier for me. It didn't take me long to get setup either, which was a nice bonus.”
“I honestly didn’t expect Landara to make this part of my store that much easier. I installed it mainly to get a better handle on my actual product costs, and I was pleasantly surprised by how everything comes together. I’m still exploring it, but so far it’s been really useful and I’m impressed with how it works.”
“I've just started using Landara, and so far I'm impressed with how it handles landed costs. I especially like being able to account for things like freight and duty instead of treating the supplier price as the whole cost. Still exploring the app, but it already looks like it could save me a lot of spreadsheet work.”
