How to add a cost in Vision?

Why Use the Cost Section?

Running a business means juggling many expenses—marketing, logistics, operations, and more. If costs are scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and files, it’s hard to see your real profits.

Use the Cost Section when you want to see how much you’re really making after all expenses. Setting it up helps you understand every dollar you earn and spend, across every sales channel.

What you gain:

  • See true profits after every expense

  • Analyze spending in different categories

  • Make faster, smarter decisions

  • Spend less time on manual tracking
