Note: the column appears in the products list at Products > All Products, not on the single product edit screen.

- Stay on the Products sub-tab.
- Find the Admin products list columns group.
- Tick Product profit (“Add product profit column”).

How profit is displayed #
The profit shown in this column uses the Profit HTML template (alg_wc_cog_product_profit_html_template, default %profit% (%profit_percent%)) from the same Products sub-tab. You can change it to show any mix of these placeholders:
%profit%: the profit amount (price minus cost).%profit_percent%: profit divided by cost, as a percentage.%profit_margin%: profit divided by price, as a percentage.
Make the column sortable #
To sort by profit, keep Advanced > Columns sorting > Sortable columns (alg_wc_cog_columns_sorting) enabled. It is on by default.
