Build Pricing Strategy Calculator

Pull my last 90 days of orders and report gross margin by product using ShopifyQL. Use those real numbers as the cost/margin basis below, then give me pricing recommendations (this second part is strategic advice, not a live data pull):

Business Context:

Cost Basis (Per Product or Product Category):

  Product cost (COGS): use the live ShopifyQL margin pull above where available, otherwise [AMOUNT PER UNIT]
  Inbound shipping per unit: [AMOUNT]
  Packaging cost per unit: [AMOUNT]

  Target gross margin: [TARGET PERCENTAGE, e.g., 60%]
