- Does Etsy have an inventory system?
- Etsy does have several inventory management features that allow sellers to manage their stock quantities and statuses. However, things get tricky when you sell on more than one platform (which is pretty much everyone these days!). Etsy doesn't know how many products you have sold on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix or Square and thus how many you actually have on your shelf. This is where inventory management software like Craftybase comes in: we import your stock activity from each channel into a central place and calculate your real-time inventory levels. Never oversell or restock unnecessarily again!
- How do I keep track of my inventory on Etsy?
- Etsy gives you a breakdown of your orders and listings, so you can see your best sellers at a glance. You can see most of these stats and figures in your Etsy Shop Manager area. What Etsy can't track is your manufacturing and raw materials - for this, you'll need a spreadsheet or a specialist inventory management system like Craftybase.

- How do I manage inventory between Etsy and Shopify?
- To see the "big picture" of your listings and orders between Etsy and Shopify, you'll need to bring the data together in a central place. You can use a spreadsheet for this purpose, or specialised inventory management software like Craftybase. Craftybase will merge together your products across both Etsy and Shopify, giving you a complete view of your orders and manufacturing history for each product you make.
- Can I use Craftybase with Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon at the same time?

Stock Push keeps your Etsy and Shopify quantities in sync automatically, so you never oversell across channels.
- Does Craftybase work with Etsy and QuickBooks together?
- Yes. Craftybase imports your Etsy orders, calculates true COGS from actual material costs and labor, then syncs those valuations directly to QuickBooks Online. No manual data entry or spreadsheet exports — the numbers flow automatically from your Etsy sales through to your books.
