Craftybase Inventory and Manufacturing Software for Shopify Sellers
What Shopify doesn't tell you — Craftybase does

Every batch you make, tracked automatically

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.

Related: Shopify Stock Sync & Push — keep product availability accurate as you manufacture.

Know what you have before you run out

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.

Raw material inventory tracking for Shopify makers

Lot tracking and compliance without the paperwork

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.

Finally know if you're actually profitable

Craftybase calculates your real cost of goods sold: materials, labor, and overhead combined. Every Shopify sale logs cost against revenue automatically, so your margins are always current. Run a full COGS report for tax time in minutes — and price with data instead of guesswork.

Scales with your business

Grow without limits

As your Shopify business expands, Craftybase grows with you. Add more sales channels, manage multiple product lines, and run larger batches — without outgrowing your tools. No long-term contracts, no enterprise pricing, no features you'll never use. Just everything a maker needs to run a real, sustainable manufacturing business.

I'm impressed with the ability to track minute quantities of essential oils and other materials used in multiple products. I love the conversion from purchase to tracking units, and love the ability to make components and recipes.

Craftybase makes it easy to create my formulas and automatically calculates what I need to use, when to re-order, how much it costs me to make my products, and so much more. I literally could not function without it!

Common questions

Shopify Inventory Management FAQ

What does Craftybase add to Shopify that I don't already have?

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.

How does Craftybase sync with Shopify?

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.

Can Craftybase calculate my COGS for Shopify sales?

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.

Which Craftybase plan is right for a Shopify seller?

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 →

Does Craftybase work if I sell on Shopify and other channels?

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.
