Build product recipes once and Craftybase handles the rest. Each manufacturing run deducts the right materials, logs your labor costs, and records your cost per batch. Scale from a handful of orders a week to hundreds — without rebuilding your tracking system every time.

Never discover mid-order that you're out of a key material. Craftybase tracks every raw material in real time — with reorder points, supplier details, and low-stock alerts. When you manufacture a batch, counts update automatically. When a Shopify sale comes in, they update again.
Assign lot numbers, track expiry dates, and trace every finished product back to the exact batch of materials it came from. If you ever face a product recall — or a customer needs to know what went into their order — you'll have a complete, accurate record ready in seconds.
Craftybase calculates your real cost of goods sold — materials, labor, and overhead — for every product in your Shopify store. Every sale logs cost against revenue automatically, so your margins are always current. Pull a full COGS report for tax time in minutes, and price your next product based on data, not instinct.
Most Shopify makers start on the Indie plan at $99/month — Shopify sync, material tracking, batch manufacturing, and full COGS reporting included. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Import orders automatically and sync stock levels across all your channels — so you never oversell or run out of stock.
Scales with your business
Add more Shopify products, handle larger batch runs, connect additional sales channels — Craftybase handles it all without rebuilding your tracking system. No long-term contracts. No enterprise pricing. No features you'll never use.
What Shopify makers say
Having a consolidated view of my business combining both Etsy & Website (Shopify) sales is invaluable. The numerous reports available to me in Craftybase helps me accurately track which products are selling, and better forecast my inventory & stock levels. I would literally be lost without Craftybase!

Before I started using Craftybase, my inventory was a mess, and I had no system of tracking my materials and ensuring that my retail price was capturing all of my expenses. Now, I know my materials are always up to date, I can keep an eye on my manufacturing costs, and I can track what inventory I actually have on hand. I am certain that utilizing Craftybase has allowed my business to grow and is worth every penny to me!

I switched from a spreadsheet to Craftybase when I was only selling on Etsy, so when I expanded onto Shopify, being able to manage inventory across both sales channels was brilliant.

Common questions
Shopify tracks how many finished products you have in stock. Craftybase tracks everything behind it: the raw materials that go into each product, the cost of every batch you manufacture, and your true COGS. If you make what you sell, Shopify alone is leaving you with an incomplete picture of your actual profitability.
Connect your Shopify store from within Craftybase — it takes a few minutes. From then on, orders import automatically on an hourly or daily schedule and your inventory updates as you sell and manufacture. You can also enable Shopify Stock Sync & Push to push updated product quantities back to your listings automatically.
Yes — that's exactly what Shopify Stock Sync & Push is for. Once you enable it, every time you record a manufacturing run in Craftybase, the updated finished-product quantity is automatically pushed back to your Shopify listings. No manual updates, no discrepancies between what Craftybase shows and what customers see in your store.
Yes — and for most makers, it's the main reason they switch from spreadsheets. Craftybase tracks the material and labor cost behind every product. Every Shopify sale automatically logs the cost of goods sold, so your COGS reports are always current without any manual calculation. Pull a full COGS summary whenever you need it — including for Schedule C at tax time.
Most Shopify sellers start on the Indie plan at $99/month — unlimited products and materials, Shopify sync, batch manufacturing, and full COGS reporting included. For larger production volumes or multi-channel operations at scale, Studio gives you additional capacity. Compare plans →
Yes. Craftybase integrates with Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, and other channels simultaneously. All your orders flow into one place, so your material inventory and COGS stay accurate across every platform — no more reconciling separate spreadsheets per sales channel.
