Once I understood that it takes time and effort to start using (and then keep using) Craftybase, it became much easier to run my business.  I actually let Craftybase run ME.  The customer service is top-notch (although I do wish they didn't run on UK time) and I'd be lost without it.

It's what every artisan needs

too expensive

Overall Great App

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.

Solid Product with a Moderate Learning Curve

We have loved the overall experience, and haven't found anything even close to what Craftybase is capable of. It is an essential part of our workflow, and helping us maintain inventory, and recipes. We truly value Craftybase and would recommend to anyone that is a maker, crafter, or in need of solid inventory management.

Craftybase is our go-to Inventory management!

Craftybase is a seriously useful tool for makers

Craftybase is not bad apart from the sales channel issue for me and it’s functionality maybe limiting as you begin to grow or you need more efficiency keeping inventory across several platforms. It is great for start up. 

Craftybase affordable option

Hi Navine - sorry to hear you have had some issues with our Square integration. To confirm, Craftybase does fully import line item product details and customer data from Square so it does sound like something is going wrong here - please do get in touch with us via support and we'll be happy to take a look into this for you.

I couldn't run my business without craftybase. I run a jewelry shop with thousands of orders per year. I've got over 200 skus with 70 variations each and CB makes it simple to create product recipes, manufactures, and adjust inventory. There is some initial setup for variations but after that it's all automated.v taxes are a breeze with this software

A must for made-to-order businesses

Craftybase is essential to helping me run my Handmade Etsy-based small business in addition to my 9-5 job, and everyday duties of 'homeowner', 'wife' and 'mom'.  It is a great tool to streamline major business functions.

Perfect for small craft business owners!

I am new to Craftybase, so most of my experience is limited to just the setup process, but I hope this helps inventory managing and control be less stressful. I feel like Craftybase has the best set of features for products that don't come pre-assembled. I find the price point to be quite high - especially since I cannot get manufacture at a lower level plan. We will see how much value Craftybase adds and whether it is worth the price point.

Helps track my materials and keeps my products in stock

Good 

I need it. I joined and quit because I was frustrated but joined again because I need it but I am still frustrated. It is a love and hate relationship. Inventora was much easier to use but did not have the same reports offered. I feel like I need to hire someone to use run crafty base because I do not have time to manage it and make my items 

Its decent 

I have a better understanding of what materials and products I have on hand and where my expenses are going. 

Works well but a bit pricey for small home based business

Love it. It’s so helpful and worth taking the time to learn to use it

Love it

I love this program and recommend it frequently!  I don't know of any other programs that let you keep track of inventory the way a crafter needs to, especially if you make some of your own components for the items you sell.  It's amazing!

Excellent Way to Keep Up with COGS, Inventory and Profit Margins

After entering in my materials used, I can link them to my finished products so that I know exactly what inventory I have on hand and which products I can make at any time. Craftybase also automatically imports orders from various sources, which are mapped to my products.  So, when it's time to fulfill orders I can see which products I need to make based on my orders, exactly the materials needed, and can easily track my production, which decreases my material count in real time.  So my material inventory is always precisely up-to-date, and I can order supplies when I need them.  It helps to keep me super organized with minimal effort to make sure my business runs smoothly.

CraftyBase fills the niche of inventory software for craft businesses

It's been great to work with Craftybase. Their support is very responsive and provides the quality customer service it's hard to come by. One feature we just discovered was bundles and we are now are able to offer bundled products with an easy and no need for manual entry each week. 

Amazing and a must-have for any business!

Hi Kasia! Thanks for the review - you'll be pleased to hear that our Amazon integration is available for any US marketplace store, not just for Amazon Handmade :)

Craftybase has 100% streamlined my manufacturing and supply ordering processes. I can scan through low inventory reports and know immediately what I need to purchase next. 

Easy to set up and use

Ceaftybase for Jewelry Business

Overall I love Craftybase, its been hard for me getting started, but now that I have, I see the wonderful advantages, and I am so proud of myself for seeing this through this time, and making my business 100% better organized. I am looking forward to all of the data I can look at as we grow with this program Thanks to all the wonderful reports you have access to with Craftybase!

Third Times a Charm!

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).

Craftybase is a lifesaver

The staff is friendly and helpful. If you are a very small business starting out it will be worth it for you. Scaling up is difficult though because they overcharge now.

Amazing for 5+ years, still great features but pricing is not worth it.

Customer service is great - They are always there to answer my questions and help me out if I'm stuck on something.  Also, during my trial period I received an email every day teaching me how to use the software.  The user friendliness and the customer service is why I am sticking around!

Needs Improvement, but Still the Best Software I've Used!

At this point, craftybase is essential to my business. It has its bugs and doesn't always have an easy way to get pack to my previous screen after clicking through to another element but that is minor compared to the benefit
