Feature Spotlight
If you are an ecommerce business owner, you already know that there are additional charges associated with shipping costs, like customs and import duties, insurance, payment processing fees, and freight charges incurred while transporting items from your vendor to the warehouse. These costs are known as the Landed Cost of an item and exclude the cost of goods.
Knowing the landed cost of an item is essential for any business, as it can have a significant effect on the business's pricing strategy and determine the selling price of the item.
So, how can you manage landing cost using Zoho Books?
