2. when trying to add the cost of a payment gateway, the save changes button is dead. not responsive. please advise.
Hello Daniel,
Thanks for reaching out.
> “i have seen the documentation and followed the steps but do not see the option of adding a new cost for new lot.”
To add a cost for the product, please go to Edit Product > Product data > General section. There, you can add the cost of the product in the Cost field. You can also add the cost of the products from Tools > Bulk Edit Costs section.
> “when trying to add the cost of a payment gateway, the save changes button is dead. not responsive.”
I couldn’t reproduce the issue on our end. Please ensure that you are using the latest versions of the WordPress (6.1.1) and WooCommerce (7.1.0) plugin.
Kind regards,
Moshtafizur1. This did not answer my question. I already know how to add the cost to a product. I want to add a cost of a diferent lot, without altering previous orders.
por example:
Peanut Butter cost lot A: $3.11
Peanut Butter cost lot B: $3.43Sales of lot A would use a profit margin according to cost of lot A. Sales of lot B would use the profit margin of cost of lot B.
Because if I simply change the cost of my product with the new lot cost, then all retroactive sales will be modified and it will calculate profit incorrectly. please advise.
2.system is up to date, and woo + wordpress. Button is dead, look here

Thanks for providing more details.
You can set the plugin to use the average cost of the inventory.
In order to do this, you have to navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Cost of Goods > Products > Add stock and enable Add stock > Add “Cost of Goods: Add stock” meta box to the product edit page.
After activating it, a new meta box with two new fields: Stock and Cost, as well as a cost History drop-down, will appear on the admin product page. Based on the updated Stock and Cost values you input, this will automatically calculate the new average cost of goods for the product. Stock will be added to your inventory, and Cost will be used to calculate the product’s new average cost of goods.
Before entering the values, you’ll have to enable Enable stock management at product level.
You can set the formula for average cost calculation in Products > Add stock > Cost calculation expression. By default, it is:
( %stock_prev% * %cost_prev% + %stock% * %cost% ) / %stock_now%
Regarding the second issue, I couldn’t reproduce the issue on our end. Would it be possible for you to share your WordPress dashboard access so that we can check it for you? Then please send us your login credentials to [email protected].
Kind regards,
Moshtafizurwhen i add a stock with new cost, i also must enter the stock quantity.
is it possible to add a new stock cost, without adding quantity? my hope is this will change the stock cost from that date forward, and previous stick will remain previous price (?)
