Snapshot Your Total Shopify Inventory Value Every Week for Cash-Flow Planning

Frequently asked questions
Where does cost come from?
Shopify stores unit cost per variant if you fill in the 'Cost per item' field. If you don't, the workflow can read cost from a mapping sheet instead.
Why by product type too?
The total tells you there's a problem; the breakdown tells you where. Usually one category is quietly hoarding your cash.
