Expenses are only useful if they drive decisions. Stoqit makes expense tracking fast and ties it directly to net profit so you stop guessing.
Categories that work
Start lean and practical: labels/shipping, packaging, supplies/tools, subscriptions, mileage. Marketplace fees are automated in Stoqit—no manual entry needed.
Stoqit expense flow
- Add expenses with date and amount in Expenses
- Link item‑specific costs (special packaging, repairs) directly to items
- Record mileage for sourcing trips with your region’s rate
- Handle refunds/returns cleanly so reports stay accurate
- See everything flow into net profit in Reports
Do it in Stoqit (3 steps)
- Create only the categories you actually use
- Enter this week’s labels, packaging, and mileage in Expenses
- Link special costs to the relevant item so profit per item is precise
→ Open Expenses: /expenses
Examples that come up a lot
- Bulk labels: either allocate per‑label cost or treat as monthly ops
- Sourcing drives: log mileage with your region’s reimbursement rate
- Returns: record clean adjustments so trends don’t get skewed
Result: a clean P&L, smarter pricing, fewer tax‑time surprises.
Quick scenario
You log a label roll, a pack of mailers, and two short sourcing trips. One item needs special packaging; you attach that cost to the item. In reports, you see net profit per item and week—no guesses.
Monthly close (simple)
Reconcile against statements, make sure subscriptions are recorded once, and scan for small purchases you missed. Review which categories creep up and decide what to cut or renegotiate next month.
