There are three common ways makers handle Etsy and Square inventory management: manual spreadsheets, disconnected channel tools, or a maker-first system like Craftybase.
Export orders from Etsy, manually tally what sold at the market via Square, update your spreadsheet, adjust material counts. Works for tiny catalogs with rare sales — but falls apart the moment you have a busy weekend. Miss a row and you're selling soap on Etsy that you physically don't have. And your spreadsheet still doesn't know your lye supply is almost out.
Some makers keep their Etsy and Square stock completely separate and manually rebalance after each market. It works until it doesn't — one oversold batch and you're scrambling to cancel orders or source materials at the last minute. And you're still not tracking what things actually cost to make.
We import orders from Etsy and Square, deduct raw materials via your recipes, update finished goods, and give you a single accurate view of what you can make and sell — whether your next sale happens online or at a market. Built for batch production, made-to-order, and the specific workflow of makers who sell in more than one place. Learn more about Etsy inventory management and Square inventory management.
