BigCommerce + Etsy Inventory Management

Running BigCommerce and Etsy together? Your inventory layer matters more than you think

BigCommerce handles serious ecommerce volume. Etsy brings in handmade-marketplace buyers. When you run both, the problem isn't managing two storefronts — it's that both channels pull from the same raw materials, the same production time, and the same finished goods. Without a central inventory layer, you're counting stock in two places and trusting neither. Craftybase connects your Etsy store today and is building BigCommerce support next.

The inventory problem that BigCommerce and Etsy sellers share

BigCommerce gives you a powerful ecommerce engine for higher-volume sales. Etsy connects you with buyers who specifically seek out handmade. But running both creates a problem most makers discover the hard way: a sale on one channel affects what you can fulfill on the other. When your raw material stock doesn't know which channel sold what, you're guessing — and guessing leads to overselling, underpricing, or running out of materials mid-production run.

Both channels pull from the same material stock and production capacity
Finishing goods for a BigCommerce order can leave Etsy listings overstated
Without COGS tracking across both, you don't know your true profit per channel
Manually syncing stock between two platforms doesn't scale past a handful of SKUs

Is Craftybase right for you?

Who uses Craftybase alongside BigCommerce and Etsy?

Craftybase is inventory and manufacturing software built for small-batch makers who sell across multiple channels. If you make products from raw materials and run BigCommerce alongside Etsy, here's who it works best for:

Soap and bath product makers — track lye, oils, and fragrance inventory at the batch level. When Etsy orders land while you're fulfilling a BigCommerce bulk run, know exactly how much material you have left and what each bar costs to make.
Candle makers — manage wax, wicks, and fragrance oil stock across production runs. Higher BigCommerce volume means more risk if your material counts aren't accurate — Craftybase keeps them honest.
Jewelry makers — track wire, findings, and components at the unit level. A BigCommerce sale and an Etsy sale of the same item pull from the same component stock. Craftybase deducts correctly from each.
Cosmetics and skincare makers — batch tracking, cost-per-unit visibility, and COGS across every channel you sell on, including future BigCommerce support.
Any higher-volume handmade seller running BigCommerce for scale alongside Etsy for marketplace reach — who needs a single source of truth for materials, production, and profitability.

Craftybase is not designed for resellers who don't manufacture their own products, or for large-scale operations that need a full ERP system.

Coming Soon

BigCommerce integration is on the roadmap

We're actively tracking demand for a native BigCommerce integration. When it launches, it will work the same way our Etsy, Shopify, and WooCommerce connections do — automatic order imports, material deductions via your recipes, and stock sync back to your BigCommerce store. Join our mailing list and we'll notify you the moment it's available.

Why inventory management matters more when you sell on BigCommerce and Etsy

Most makers hit the inventory wall at a pressure point — an order rush they can't fulfill, a tax season they weren't ready for, or the moment they discover they've been losing money on their best-selling product. Running both BigCommerce and Etsy accelerates all three.

The higher-volume problem

BigCommerce attracts higher-volume buyers — wholesale inquiries, bulk orders, repeat customers with larger carts. That's great for revenue, but it puts more pressure on your material stock and production schedule than a typical Etsy order would. If you don't know exactly what you have on hand and what each unit costs to make, volume works against you. You can sell your way into a loss without ever realising it.

Two channels, one pool of materials

The same batch of shea butter, the same spool of wire, the same fragrance oil — these don't know which channel they're destined for. A big BigCommerce order fulfilled this morning affects what's available for Etsy sales this afternoon. Without a single inventory layer tracking your materials across both, you're running on estimates. Craftybase is that inventory layer — and BigCommerce will plug into it directly once integration launches.

COGS accuracy at higher volumes

At lower Etsy volumes, a rough cost estimate might not hurt much. At BigCommerce scale, even a small error in your per-unit cost compounds quickly. Craftybase calculates your cost of goods sold from your actual material purchase history and recipes — not a spreadsheet estimate — so you always know whether you're making money, not just moving units.

Don't wait for BigCommerce integration to get your inventory foundation right. Connect your Etsy store today — BigCommerce sync will slot in when it's ready.

BigCommerce + Etsy Integration FAQ

Common questions about managing inventory across BigCommerce and Etsy

Does Craftybase integrate with BigCommerce?

Not yet — BigCommerce integration is on the Craftybase roadmap. Currently, Craftybase syncs inventory with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Square, Wix, and more. Join the waitlist above to be notified when BigCommerce integration launches.

How do I manage inventory across BigCommerce and Etsy?

The challenge is that both channels pull from the same raw material stock and production capacity. Craftybase acts as the central inventory layer — tracking your materials, deducting them as orders come in and you manufacture, and syncing stock back to your active channels. When BigCommerce integration launches, it will slot into the same workflow with no re-setup.

Can I use Craftybase with Etsy now, and add BigCommerce later?

Yes. Connect your Etsy store today, set up your material inventory and recipes, and get your COGS and stock tracking running. When BigCommerce support launches, you'll add it to the same account — your materials, recipes, and history stay intact. No migration required.

Why do makers use both BigCommerce and Etsy?

BigCommerce powers a fully branded storefront with stronger customisation, better checkout options, and higher-volume capability. Etsy brings built-in marketplace traffic from buyers specifically looking for handmade goods. Many makers use BigCommerce for direct-to-consumer and wholesale, and Etsy for discovery and marketplace reach. Running both expands your customer base but creates an inventory coordination problem that Craftybase solves.

Can I track COGS for both BigCommerce and Etsy sales?

Once BigCommerce integration is live, yes — Craftybase will import BigCommerce orders and apply your recipe costs automatically, giving you accurate COGS per order across both channels. For now, you can connect your Etsy store and manually log BigCommerce orders to keep your material deductions and COGS calculations accurate.

What channels does Craftybase currently sync with?

Craftybase currently integrates with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Square, Wix, Faire, PayPal, and others. Orders import automatically, materials are deducted via your recipes, and stock can be pushed back to your connected channels. BigCommerce is on the roadmap as a high-demand integration.
