# How to Bulk Upload of Cost of Goods (COGs) into SARAL

Easily add or update Cost of Goods (COGs) in SARAL by bulk uploading product variant data from Shopify.

**Adding Cost of Goods (COGs) in Bulk**

If you have hundreds or thousands of product variants, bulk upload is the easiest way to add COGs into SARAL.

**A few things to know before you start:**

-   **COGs are tracked at the variant level** — you'll need to include each variant (e.g., size, color) to ensure accurate tracking.
    
-   **Shopify integration doesn't sync COGs automatically** — but we've got you covered. Simply export your product data from Shopify, send it to us, and we'll handle the import for you.
    

Here’s a [Shopify Help Center article](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/export-products) that shows how to download your existing products as a CSV. This file will include the cost per item/variant.

> **Info:** **Pro Tip: You don’t need to export every detail from Shopify. These fields are all you need:**

1.  **productId** – Shopify product ID
    
2.  **productImage** – product image
    
3.  **productName** – name of the product
    
4.  **productPrice** – or **Variant Price**
    
5.  **variantDetail** – product options (see sample below)
    
6.  **variantId** – Shopify variant ID
    
7.  **Cost of Goods** – cost per item
    
8.  **shippingCost** – if applicable

Once you have these details in a CSV, send it to us and we’ll handle the import. After the import, SARAL will create line items in the **COGs section**, so your reports will automatically consider COGs whenever products are shipped.
