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.

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.

Craftybase is inventory and manufacturing software built specifically for small-batch makers and artisan businesses who create products from raw materials.
It is designed for:
Craftybase is not designed for retail-only businesses, service providers, or large-scale manufacturers with complex ERP needs. Most Craftybase customers are solo makers or small teams selling on Etsy, Shopify, or at craft fairs.
Dear maker...
Hi there, makers! I'm Nicole, and I started Craftybase in 2011 as a way to help small craft sellers get more insight into (and control over) the manufacturing side of their business.
Since the very beginning, store owners like you have helped shape Craftybase's features and functionality. These days, there are more than 3,000 makers using Craftybase all over the world.
I'd love for you to give Craftybase a try and see how much time and struggle it saves you on inventory management, manufacturing, materials calculations, and so much more. Start your free 14-day trial here — no credit card or commitment required.
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.
