Wpd Ai Cost Price Per Unit

Filter: wpd_ai_cost_price_per_unit

Filter the cost price per unit for a product before it is used in profit calculations.

Description

Alpha Insights calculates product cost from various sources (WooCommerce native COGS, product meta, default cost settings). This filter runs after that calculation so you can override or adjust the cost price per unit for a specific product. The value is cached per product for the request.

function add_safety_margin_to_cost( $cost_price_per_unit, $product_id ) {

    return round( $cost_price_per_unit * 1.05, 4 );
}
