Craftybase helped us make sure we were accounting for everything in our prices, and helped us quickly test what would happen if we changed suppliers to upgrade some of our materials.

I'm impressed with the ability to track minute quantities of essential oils and other materials used in multiple products. I love the conversion from purchase to tracking units, and love the ability to make components and recipes.

I no longer have to do manual inventory - what else is there to say?! I love the manufactures and managing supplies... especially with two online channels and selling at shows.

Tracking all my inventory, projects, invoices, contacts in one place and being able to run reports to see how my business is doing has helped me run my business a little easier.

Having real time inventory, pricing guidance, and expense tracking makes the paperwork of owning a business simpler. Keeping all of the information in one place makes it ideal.

Craftybase has been a wonderful tool in running my business. I love that I can look at reports and know exactly what I have in inventory and also see what my total sales are.

Being able to create "recipes" for each of our products has made managing our material inventory a breeze! It's a dream come true to always be on top of our inventory levels!

We no longer have to wonder how much of something we have in stock. It's much easier for me to sell my product when I know how much is on the shelf!

I love that the app keeps track of how much material I have on hand and how much it costs me exactly… This allows me to really know how much my products cost me to make and how much I should charge.

I love that Craftybase keeps track of the cost of materials over time including shipping. As costs creep up I can make sure my product prices reflect that reality.

Thanks to Craftybase I can run my entire business off one program and can always stay on top of my ingredient inventory, sales and stock levels. I don't know where I would be without it!

PaulinePauline

I went into business because I had great ideas for products, not because I was good at keeping track of numbers. Craftybase lets my brain do it's creative work by taking care of the nitty-gritty.

  • Candle makers — Monitor wax, wick, and fragrance oil usage with per-unit COGS and low-stock alerts.
  • Jewelry makers — Track wire, beads, and findings down to the gram with automatic cost-per-piece calculations.
  • Cosmetics formulators — Manage raw ingredients, batch records, and compliance documentation for handmade skincare and beauty products.
  • Potters and ceramic artists — Track clay, glazes, and kiln materials with recipe-level costing for each piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Craft inventory software tracks raw materials, finished products, and sales for handmade businesses. Craftybase is purpose-built for makers — it handles recipe costing, material stock levels, order imports from Etsy and Shopify, and COGS reporting specifically for businesses that manufacture from raw materials. It replaces spreadsheets that most craft sellers outgrow within their first year of selling.

You build a recipe for each product listing every material and its quantity. Craftybase uses your actual purchase prices to calculate cost per unit automatically — including materials, labor time, and packaging. When supplier prices change, every recipe that uses that material updates in real time, so your true cost per product is always current.

Yes. You can record in-person craft fair and market sales directly in Craftybase. Your stock levels update automatically alongside your Etsy and Shopify channels, so you always know what you have on hand across every place you sell. Many makers use Craftybase to plan exactly what inventory to bring to each show.

Yes. Craftybase automatically imports your orders each night from Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Wix, and several other platforms. Your products and stock levels sync across channels so you never have to manually enter order data again. Shopify and Etsy also receive stock quantity pushes back from Craftybase to keep your listings accurate.

Absolutely. Craftybase generates your cost of goods sold (COGS) in real time — exactly what you need for Schedule C at tax time. Instead of piecing together numbers from receipts and spreadsheets every January, you pull an accurate COGS report at the touch of a button. Many makers say this alone is worth the subscription.

A spreadsheet requires you to manually update every stock level, rebuild formulas when material costs change, and import orders by hand. With Craftybase, stock levels update automatically when you log purchases, production runs, and sales. Orders import nightly from your sales channels. Your cost per product recalculates in real time. And you get tax-ready COGS reports without building anything yourself.

Most makers are up and running in about 15 minutes. Connect your sales channels, add your materials and recipes, and you're tracking. You can also import existing data via CSV if you're migrating from a spreadsheet. A free onboarding call is available for all new accounts if you want a guided walkthrough.
