shopify-admin-return-cost-attribution

What problem does it solve?

Returns reporting often shows only the refunded amount, hiding the real margin impact from shipping revenue loss, COGS write-offs, and restocking labor.

Core Features & Use Cases

• True return cost attribution: Computes refund dollars, shipping loss, COGS write-off for non-restockable reasons, and restocking labor per return line item.
• Reason and product return P&L: Aggregates costs by reason, product, SKU, or reason × product to identify the biggest operational drivers.
• Read-only cost modeling: Uses unitCost, return reasons, and refund/line-item data over a configurable lookback window to produce prioritization insights.
