Why does Shopify show the average cost in a FIFO shop?

In the appInventory and costsUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

Shopify's Cost per item holds one figure, so OrderPilot publishes a weighted average across locations even when sales use FIFO or LIFO.

OrderPilot keeps the sale's cost-layer method separately. The Shopify average is therefore expected and does not mean your FIFO setting was ignored.
