Tips for Logging Expenses

Log expenses as they happen rather than catching up at the end of the month. It takes 30 seconds and keeps your net profit number accurate in real time.
For recurring expenses (like a monthly software subscription), log them at the start of each month with the date set to the billing date. For platform fees, log them after you reconcile your marketplace payouts. StockX, GOAT, and eBay all provide payout reports that show fees clearly. For shipping supplies, log them when you buy the supplies — not when you use them. A pack of 50 mailers bought today is an expense today.

Editing an Expense

Click any row in the expenses table to open the edit panel. Change any field and save. The update reflects immediately in your profit calculations.

Deleting an Expense

Open the expense detail and use the action menu (three dots) to delete it. Deleting an expense removes it from your profit calculations for that period.
