Adding a summed Cost per item to Admin orders page

[WicksBathCo]

I'm interested in adding a summed total of the Cost per item from the given products in an order when I look at individual orders within the Orders admin page within Shopify. I don't want this summed total to be visible to customers, just to us on the Admin order page. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Hi @WicksBathCo you could use an automation app like shopify-flow or mechanic to either add a tag, update a metafield, or an attribute / note_attributes.

You can set up a flow that triggers when the order is created, then you'll probably need a short run code step to calculate the total cost per item for all of the line items, and then you'd want to save that as an order metafield to the order.
