Once connected, ConnectBooks pulls the cost of each SKU from Ordoro and applies it to the matching SKU in ConnectBooks on the listings page. A cost of $0 or less is skipped.
When a cost changes, the new cost is dated to the day of the sync. If there is already an entry from that same day, the new one replaces it. If the cost has not changed, nothing is added.
ConnectBooks keeps your full cost history rather than overwriting it. When a cost changes, we add a new cost entry dated to the day it came in, so your earlier numbers stay intact for accurate historical reporting.
For example, say an item costs $1 today. Tomorrow you change it to $2 in Ordoro. On the next sync, ConnectBooks adds a $2 cost effective from that day forward, while any sales before then still use the $1 cost. Each future change works the same way, building a dated record of what each item cost over time.
Frequently asked questions
Does a new cost overwrite my old costs?
No. ConnectBooks adds a new dated cost entry, so sales before that day still use the old cost.
What if the cost syncs more than once on the same day?
The newer entry replaces the earlier one from that day.
What if a SKU has a cost of $0 in Ordoro?
ConnectBooks skips it. Only costs above $0 are pulled.
