### "Craftybase provides me with everything I need and is really easy!"

August 1, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Craftybase has been great. The learning curve for the system was very fast and it was very easy to figure out how I should set up my recipes, products, and manufactures.

Pros

Craftybase is able to keep accounts of my purchase orders, inventory and manufactures. It is also very flexible in allowing me to make manual adjustments when needed. I can always count on craftybase to keep records of my ongoing product costs and inventory counts.

Cons

I would like to be able to create Purchase Orders to send to vendors directly from inside of Craftybase. It would allow my order emails to be more standardized.

Reason for choosing Stocksmith

Craftybase integrates well with many platforms

### "Great ERP and manufacturing solution for makers!"

May 13, 2026

5.0

Overall, I think the software is effective and it does what I need it to do. I love that I can manage inventory and create recipes to help track costs associated with custom products. It also shows you the the cost involved so you know if you are charging enough.

Pros

I love the support and functionality of the software. It's the best I've found for makers as far as an ERP system.

Cons

I'd like to see a little more control given when it comes to deleting or merging products in bulk. I'd also like it if we could exclude some items from being imported from sales channels so if you wanted to have drop shipped items, they do not get pulled into your products section. They're constantly updating the software so hopefully this will be something in the near future.

### "Wish it had a few more features"

November 24, 2025

3.0

Overall it's been an improvement over Soapmaker and I like being able to assign projects and check things from home. Support has been fairly responsive and helpful. Setup took a lot of time and some of my employees haven't liked how long it takes to get their batch paperwork going. Printing is laborious sometimes.

Pros

I do like the capabilities and it being on the cloud. However there are some features that would be helpful. It made my organic inspection easy because I could just easily pull up the batches for my mass balance audit.

Cons

I don't like that when I assign a manufacture it doesn't give any warning about a low-stock component/material. I don't like that I can't easily see what projects have been assigned to what employee. I've love daily email digests that tell me what needs to get on order, what we're getting low on. I'd love to be able to have batch numbers that are just numerical. Right now they're both letters and numbers so I had to get new batch guns for marking my batches. It's laborious to have to change the batch numbers on the guns. I'd love to be able to see what's on hand vs. what the batch will take when I go to assign a manufacture. I'd love a button on the "manufacture's" page where I could pull up an employee's assigned projects and there would be buttons where I could see all "work in progress" "not complete" and "recently completed." Would be nice to receive an email when a batch is marked off as completed. Or if a batch status changes - X employee has started working on X batch. That would be awesome. Would love time trackers for employees so I could accurately track how long a batch is taking.

### "Amazing basic functionality, customer support, and impressive ongoing improvements"

April 6, 2026

5.0

Overall, I love craftybase. Prior to using it, I was using spreadsheets and magic. Craftybase is a huge improvement to that sort of system, though I still use a little magic.

Pros

Craftybase has vastly improved how easily I can track my materials and product inventory for my soap, candle, and body care product business. I subscribed in 2024. There are a lot of thoughtful details in how you can set up not just recipes, but recipe precursors, that saves me a lot of time and works well with how I make master batches. It's also been great in terms of syncing with my website on woocommerce, and when there have been issues (probably entirely due to woocommerce), customer support has been so responsive and even followed up down the line to see if the issues have gotten better. Plus, they've introduced improvements in the syncing capabilities with online merchant platforms since I joined craftybase.

Cons

There are still issues in how the products sync with woocommerce, but the team has been really responsive to those and I fully trust fixes are in the works. For example, I use product bundling plugins on my website, and they don't sync properly with craftybase. They don't actually sync properly with woocommerce either haha. So many complex backend issues that I'm sure compete across the different merchant platforms. I've been really impressed with how they handle things.

### "How do I feel about Craftbase? Thankful it is there"

April 2, 2026

5.0

Awesome. From stock control, product traceability for compliance, costing and making life easier, I'd say Crafty base is best even for a smal, newl bakery such as mine

Pros

I loved the support the product offers. There is a lot of in product support and lots of instruction but I am a huge overthinker and the email support function was just amazing. It helped me get to grips with things and later on when I had to suspend my subscription due to a health issue that meant I couldnt work, they showed me how to capture and save my data for when i restart. It took me a little time to figure out what product features I needed and again getting me to the right solution I got great support. I had previously used a competitor product mainly because it was free. I was new to baking and software and discovered - as I tried to get reports sorted etc - that I needed a more professional piece of software and Craftybase is it.

Cons

It is a little more complicated than it first looks so read the help sheets and think about structure. SKUs are not compulsory but better you use them . I learn by doing rather than reading so I eventually had to start again with things. But it was no problem to the guys at teh other end of the email! And understanding what the "units" are can be tricky - at least I struggled with that for a while

### "Craftybase has helped us organize our kitting processes "

December 8, 2025

5.0

Really easy setup and a clean user friendly UI. There are some QOL drawbacks, but I have been messaging them and they are very receptive to my feedback. They even fixed a bug I found within 2 weeks. I find this company and platform very promising so far and do recommend.

Pros

Craftybase allows us to convert raw materials into products and calculate the inventory for it all. We can also enter purchase orders and have each department fill in their own information. The customer service is really helpful and responsive. I love that you can create recipes for the products and then even output a BOM from that.

Cons

Craftybase isn't quite set up for the type of business we run and the current UI has some small setbacks. They are very open to discussion, though, and are working with me through my requests. Which is huge.

### "Worth the cost"

May 11, 2026

5.0

Pros

The ability to easily and accurately track my purchases, orders, materials and products. I tried to do this for with Excel spreadsheets for years and I as constantly struggling to account for extra/missing materials and inventory that was all due to user error on my part. Craftybase is really slick and I won’t go back.

Cons

It’s a bit expensive for my low-volume knitting hobby sales - even though I only do Pro level ($240/yr), I probably only gross 2-4x the subscription cost. Not being able to run more reports at this cost level is sometimes frustrating. And I’m not selling on Etsy any more, doing craft shows, so order tracking is now manual for me.

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

It was impossible to be accurate at my skill level - Craftsybase had it all built in.

### "Exactly what I was looking for in an inventory management software!"

August 3, 2025

5.0

Overall, Craftybase is exactly what I was looking for when I was wanting to track my inventory and products, and I love that I can set different levels of pricing and see what my profit margin is.

Pros

I love Craftybase because it is so easy to get started. They offer a 2-week free trial, which is basically the amount of time it took to get most of my materials and products entered. It integrates with many other software programs so it is that much easier to keep track of inventory. The pricing is reasonable, and if you can't find your answer in their chat bot, an email will get you a friendly person responding to you within 2 business days usually. They have made some updates on the look of the site, which was much needed, and they are very open to hearing your suggestions on how to make the program work better for you. I have not had many problems with the program, and the few that I have had were handled very well by the customer service department.

Cons

There are a few things that I would like to have as options on the site, but they are very minor (such as: drop-downs for categories, etc) It would also be nice to have the price charged in CAD, but again, a minor thing.

### "Fantastic Manufacturing Capability"

January 2, 2026

5.0

Overall it's an excellent product with great support, and the inability to connect to my accounting system is outweighed by the features and benefits it provides me with

Pros

The ability to create BOM's which can have multiple components and effectively other BOM's built in making them multi layered

Cons

The ability to connect to MYOB accounting, means I have to have 2 systems running. Ideally an integration to other accounting packages would be great.

So far so good! I will update my review once I have all of my data entered and can really start seeing how it helps me save time tracking costs and inventory

Pros

I am just getting started with Craftybase and so far I love it. Customer service has been amazing with answering all of my questions and helping me get set up. I have never used an inventory management system before but am finding Craftybase easy to use so far especially with the great help from customer service responding quickly to all of my questions!

Cons

So far I am just getting started entering all of my data and with the help of customer service that has been going smoothly so no negatives to report so far

### "Crafty is Simple and Straightforward. Worth the Money"

July 11, 2023

5.0

Crafty has streamlined our inventory management, with a slight learning curve and ability to handle the needs of our business. So far we are very happy with the software and excited to see how it evolves. Small issues are to be expected with such a system handling so much data everyday, the support team is friendly and efficient.

Pros

The ease of setting up everything and the user interface is very friendly and easy to navigate.

Cons

We had some trouble with the "Product Bundle" process when compenentizing our products, a lot of our wholesale sales channels include "Tester" products which is the same as the product. This created duplicates of products in Crafty which resulted in us having to spend more time fixing issues.

### "The Backbone of my Business Systems"

July 14, 2025

5.0

My experience has been great. I've rarely had to reach out to customer service, and when I did they were pleasant and quick. The documentation for Craftybase is thorough, but can be a bit overwhelming for some folks who are new to tracking manufacturing builds, inventory, etc.

Pros

Craftybase makes it super simple to track all of my inventory and materials. It also made it easy to see which of my products - and sales channels - were profitable, and which were not. This made making decisions about my product development easy.

Cons

I'd love to be able to make custom APIs to help link all of my apps together to streamline data entry and focus a bit more on making my products. For example, Craftybase tracks most of my expenses, but I supplement it with Wave to capture all of my accounting needs. It tracks recipe components, but it's hard to capture all of the instructions in the notes field - so I supplement with Notion. But Craftybase is definitely the backbone of all of my business systems.

### "Worth it for small business crafters"

August 1, 2025

4.0

It is mostly intuitive. I've learned lessons since is started using it and almost want to start over to keep everything clean. Overall the price seems ok for the market and it saves you from having to develop lots of spreadsheets or your own database

Pros

I like that I can use it for inventory and manufacturing tracking. I like that I can store my recipes and it integrates with my point of sale.

Cons

I would like to be able to bundle existing products rather than having to recreate all bundled products in a different area to get pricing recommendations and cogs

Excellent central place to run my craft business so that I know when I need to order more supplies, and understand what I should make next.

Pros

Between all of the features: keeping track of purchases, orders, inventory, recipes I’m not sure where to begin. Also when I have an issue, they are an email away.

Cons

The tracking of consignment better and not being able to put enter in a deposit down for wholesale orders.

I've used Craftybase for 11 years now and would be lost without all the tracking it does for me. It downloads all my sales and generates reports that help at tax time.

Pros

I love that all my supplies and inventory are easily accessed on any device. It keeps everything up to date. I love that it pulls info from Square and Etsy for me.

Cons

Doing my state sales tax can be a pain since i sell in different cities. I have to manually figure it out.

### "Craftybase - Powerful inventory and organizing database "

April 24, 2025

5.0

I have had a great experience with Craftybase. I started when my business was small, and I am still learning all it has to offer as my business grows. I’m looking forward to growing my business with Craftybase for many years to come.

Pros

Craftybase helps me keep track of my inventory - both raw materials and finished products - while also providing me with the forms and reports I need to monitor my business. It syncs seamlessly with my Etsy shop and helps keep track of orders and costs.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but the system does have a steep learning curve. Of course it does. It’s an inventory system with a lot of organizing power. I started when my shop was small and it was still pretty time consuming to input all the supplies and figure out what all the system offers. If you have a lot of inventory, just be ready to spend some time entering your information. Once it’s in, though, the database is reliable.

### "Craftybase is a lifesaver"

January 31, 2025

5.0

ICraftybase is what I use. It was a lifeline for me because I had websites and Etsy shops, and I had inventory in local boutiques prior to the pandemic (one of the more expensive programs offers the opportunity to operate a consignment shop).

Pros

I like it all around, and I'm glad they're always introducing new features. For someone like me, the inventory system is absolutely essential, and there aren't many products available at this price range that can accomplish it." "I love that I can keep track of all of my Expenses and create recipes with all of my materials and It will tell me the amount that I need to charge to make a good profit." "Craftybase is incredibly user-friendly. For months, I've been searching for software to assist me track inventory at different levels for the things I create.

Cons

I might click in the field and then begin entering the order or product, only to discover that my concentration was diverted and nothing was entered. "You have to actively go in and check to see which products are running low on a regular basis because you may set low inventory alerts, but it doesn't tell you. It seems to negate the alert's purpose. "The implementation has been difficult because I have so many raw materials and many are liquids so it’s hard to estimate at start-up."

Love all the aspects of it, and am finding little nuances as I continue to use it.

Pros

I am a jeweler and keeping track of gemstone and metal inventory was impossible until I started using Craftybase. The best part is once you have your inventory in, it takes minutes to manufacture and it automatically deducts from inventory.

Cons

Once you figure out the ins and outs, there nothing I really dislike.

### "Solid Product with a Moderate Learning Curve"

July 14, 2023

4.0

Overall it's been good. I would recommend it to any other vendor if asked. There is absolutely some time required upfront to get it going but once that's done the automation saves me an hour hour or two each and every event we do. My time has value and even at minimum wage in my area I don't need but an event or three to have paid for the subscription each month. I've been that vendor making paper notes of sales at events then taking them home to file and process and after setting this up I wouldn't go back.Craftybase also tracking my COGS, inventory, helping with tax forms and tracking my expenses is just icing on the cake. Absolute time savers that free me up for other tasks to help grow my business. Each piece by itself doesn't sound like much of a savings but they add up and they add up faster than I thought they would. For us increasing our sales almost 100% over last year just means we buy more materials and setup a few extra manufactures to deepen our stock levels. The actual paperwork did not increase 100%. For the system auto-importing 200 sales a month is the same as 100 sales a month. The more sales we make the more time Crafybase saves us.

Pros

Sales integration and inventory are the biggest winners. Put some thought into and setup the SKU's correctly across your channels and a majority of the paperwork is taken care of for you. That's worth hours after each event. If you have relatively static items building a recipe for manufacturing inventory is almost as easy. Once those are seeded correctly it's just a minute to record that you made X number of an item. COGS is updated, stocks are updated and expenses are tracked.

Cons

Learning curve was moderately steep. This wasn't unexpected as my day job is in setting up production systems so I have an idea of the complexity that is needed. Expect to spend a moderate amount of time building and then probably heavily modifying what you setup that you thought was correct. You just don't know what you don't know until you start using it and realizing how it actually goes together as an entire system.Depending on your business type some shortcuts might be needed. We do jewelry sales and a variety of categories needed to be combined for our sanity. If I tracked each and every bead, gem or finding that we used we would have nearly 2,000 unique entries in the materials tab. As an example in our case some additional thought and planning had to be devised to combine all the generic ear hook styles together and build them as a trackable unit in grams. This would be repeated for the several hundred bead styles we use. Glass, gemstone, crystal, wood, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm etc. We aren't trying to track the 10's of thousands of beads we inventory so they are categorized by price points and then inventoried and tracked by weight.These aren't quite con's just a reality of having moved into an inventory system after a year of not having a proper one and the width of material options that we had. A business that sold soap might only have a couple dozen oil options, some jars and wicks to track. This would be much easier to directly track specific items.
