The big idea
Most makers price from memory and count stock by looking at the shelf. Craft Stock Studio connects the two. You enter what you paid for your supplies once, and every product, quote and order uses those real numbers.
- Materials: what you buy, what you paid, and how much is on hand.
- Cost to make: the materials, time and machine cost that go into one item, plus a suggested price.
- Orders to make: what you need to make and when. Planning never touches your stock.
- Mark as made: when the work is finished, the materials come out of stock once.
- Sales: customer requests, quotes, invoices, pickup and shipping.

Where to start
Open Start Here in the sidebar. It walks you through the same 4 steps you'll use for every product.
Tip: You don't have to set up everything on day one. Add the materials for one product, price it, and go from there.
