However, not all companies can know how to manage cost values. This is the reason today I will show you the way to set cost values, get cost values and delete cost values more easily than ever.
Set Cost Value
You can use REST endpoints to set tier prices for the following product types:

Step 1: Generate Admin Access Token
Endpoint: POST <host>/rest/V1/integration/admin/token
Enter your admin username and password in Body sections, then click Send.
{
"username": "string",
"password": "string"
}Response: access token
Step 2: Set Cost Value
Create a new request and enter the admin access token
Authorization: Bearer token
Endpoint: POST <host>/rest/<store_code>/V1/products/cost
Payload:
{
"prices": [
{
"cost": 10,
"store_id": 0,
"sku": "24-MB02"
}
]
}Response:
An empty array.
