Who pays the store's product cost: me or the customer?

Does the stores product cost get taken from my account or from customer payments?

Hi @poordaddytv 

When you say "product cost" are you referring to the product price that you pay for the item, before you mark it up for the consumer cost?

The product cost, pre-markup, is set by you (or the supplier) and is used to calculate your profit margins. If that is not what you are referring to, can you share a screenshot of where you are seeing this field and how you are referencing it?

I'm referring to the cost of the product from the supplier does it get
taken directly from my account or my costumers payment to fulfill the order?

Got it! So if you are dropshipping products the customers payment will go to you and then you pay the supplier to fulfill the order.
