Can Product Upload populate the "Cost per item" field on Shopify?

Yes. Under Pricing on the Product setup tab, set Cost per item to The supplier's price. Whatever Product Upload scrapes from the supplier is written into Shopify's Cost per item field, and your Price rule is applied separately to work out the customer-facing price.

If you buy below the supplier's listed price, choose A percentage below the supplier's price instead and enter your margin in Your discount off the supplier's price. Shopify reports profit from this field, so it should reflect what you pay, not what the supplier charges shoppers.

For wholesale or B2B suppliers where the real cost sits behind a login, you will usually need a session cookie so the scraper can see the logged-in price. See Can I import from supplier websites that require a login?.
