Reports and analytics for small manufacturing business

Selling on more than just Amazon?

Most makers don't sell on just one channel. Craftybase pulls in orders from Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and your other storefronts — and reconciles them against the same material inventory and cost records. One dashboard, all your channels, no double-entry.

Whether your Amazon store is your main channel or just one piece of a bigger business, Craftybase keeps everything in sync. Add a new sales channel without starting over.

Know your true Amazon margins

Amazon fees chip away at your margin. But most sellers don't know their actual cost to make each product — materials, labor, overhead — before the fees even hit.

Craftybase calculates real COGS per product from your recipes upward. Every material cost, every batch, every Amazon order. So you always know exactly what it costs to fulfill — and whether your pricing is actually working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Amazon inventory management for makers

How does Craftybase help with Amazon inventory management?

Craftybase integrates directly with your Amazon store to import orders automatically — hourly or daily. It then deducts the raw materials used from your inventory in real time, calculates true COGS per product from your recipes, and keeps your stock levels accurate across every channel. Unlike Amazon's built-in tools, Craftybase tracks what it actually cost you to make each item — not just what you sold it for.

Does Craftybase work if I sell on Amazon and Etsy (or Shopify)?

Yes — this is one of the main reasons makers choose Craftybase. You can connect Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and other channels simultaneously. Orders from all your storefronts flow into one dashboard, pull from the same material inventory, and feed into the same cost records. No double-entry, no reconciliation headaches between platforms.

How does Craftybase calculate my COGS for Amazon orders?

Craftybase builds a bill of materials (recipe) for each product — listing every raw material, its quantity, and its cost. When an Amazon order comes in, Craftybase automatically calculates the COGS for that order based on your recipes. You can include materials, labor, and overhead — giving you a true cost-per-unit that makes it easy to price profitably and report accurately at tax time.

How do I connect Amazon to Craftybase?

It's a one-click connection via Amazon's API. Inside Craftybase, go to your integrations screen and select Amazon — you'll be walked through a secure authorisation process that links the two accounts. Once connected, your products and orders sync automatically. Most sellers are up and running in under an hour.

Why do I need inventory software if Amazon already tracks my orders?

Amazon tracks finished product sales — it doesn't know what went into making each item. If you manufacture what you sell, you need software that tracks raw material levels, calculates what a product actually costs to make, and warns you before you run out of supplies. Craftybase fills that gap: it lives behind Amazon and handles the manufacturing side that Amazon doesn't see.

Is Craftybase only for large manufacturers?

Not at all. Craftybase is built specifically for small-batch and handmade businesses — candle makers, soap makers, jewellers, food producers, and anyone else who makes what they sell. Enterprise tools are over-engineered and over-priced for this kind of business. Craftybase is sized and priced for independent makers, with plans starting at $24/month.
