What counts as other costs of an item on OTTO?
Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
Sonstiges (other costs) are all the remaining costs of one sold unit, such as packaging, without VAT.
You enter them per item on the Produkte (products) page, and the margin subtracts them for every unit sold. Unlike purchase price and shipping costs, you can leave this field empty.
Example: Packaging for the acacia chair
Say every acacia chair gets packaging for 0.30 €. With 50 chairs sold, 15 € comes off the margin under Sonstiges.
