Craftybase is inventory, costing, and manufacturing software built specifically for small-batch makers — soap makers, candle makers, jewelry makers, cosmetics manufacturers, bakers, and other artisan businesses. It replaces spreadsheets with real-time COGS calculations, recipe-based manufacturing, material tracking, and integrations with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, and more.

How much does Craftybase cost?

Plans start at $24/month with a free 14-day trial — no credit card required. All plans include unlimited materials, products, and orders. See our pricing page for full plan details.

What makes Craftybase different from spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets can't automatically update your COGS when material prices change, deduct inventory when you manufacture a batch, sync stock across sales channels, or generate tax-ready reports. Craftybase does all of this automatically. Makers who switch from spreadsheets typically save hours every month on inventory and bookkeeping tasks.

Does Craftybase work with Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon?

Yes. Craftybase integrates with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Wix, Square, Squarespace, Faire, PayPal, and QuickBooks. Orders sync automatically and inventory is adjusted in real time.

Can Craftybase calculate my Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)?

Yes — this is one of the things Craftybase does best. It calculates COGS automatically using your recipes, material purchase prices, labor rates, and overhead allocations. As material costs change, your COGS updates in real time — giving you accurate profit margins and tax-ready numbers for Schedule C.

Is Craftybase suitable for my type of craft business?

Craftybase is used by thousands of makers across dozens of industries including soap making, candle making, jewelry, cosmetics, food and beverage, woodworking, and more. We have industry-specific features like multi-level recipes, batch manufacturing, lot tracking, and compliance documentation. If you make products in batches or need to track material costs, Craftybase is built for you.

Know what it actually costs you to make. Price like you mean it.

Two reasons makers find us

“I have no idea what my products actually cost”

You're pricing from gut feel or copying competitors. You need real numbers — materials, labor, overhead — so you can price with confidence.

“I'm drowning in spreadsheets and manual stock counts”

You're tracking inventory in Excel, counting shelves by hand, and dreading tax time. You need a system that keeps up with your production.

Know what every product costs you to make

Create a recipe for each product with your actual material costs, labor time, and overhead. Craftybase calculates your cost per unit automatically — and updates it the moment a supplier price changes. No formulas to maintain. No ingredients to forget.

Still running your business on spreadsheets?

Most makers start there — we get it. But once you're past 50 materials, selling on multiple channels, and your accountant is asking for COGS numbers you don't have… the spreadsheet stops being a tool and starts being a liability.

You shouldn't need a midnight session with VLOOKUP to know if your best seller is actually profitable.

Your costs, always current

COGS recalculates the moment a supplier price changes. No formula audits. No missed ingredients.

Inventory that tracks itself

Manufacture a batch, materials deduct. Sell a product, stock adjusts. Low-stock alerts before you run out.

Tax time without the panic

Schedule C numbers ready when your accountant asks. No more reconstructing a year of purchases from bank statements.
