We make soap and skin care products, so I have many manufacturing recipes, suppliers, and costs to account for. Craftybase was a dream come true. I had about 50 scraps of paper with notes and was manually calculating my cogs at the base of my recipes. Now, everything is in Craftybase and when I manufacture a product, it updates my inventory as well. > > **Cons**: I am learning the interface between Shopify and Craftybase. I am hoping I can learn how to have Craftybase update my inventory in Shopify when I manufacture a new product. It maybe I haven't found it yet. I've only been working in Craftybase a week, but already the improvement to my business is immeasurable. > > I am so please with the customer service, the help bot, and the interface of the app. The business of manufacturing of products is new to me the past two years. Prior to that the businesses I have run have all been service based. To have a program like Craftybase allows me to capture all of the data I need for our certifications and government compliance in Australia. Plus, all of the data for our accountant at tax time. I am better able to run the business knowing my profit per product made and love that it allows me to add in my cost of time. ----- ### "Craftybase Review" — 4.0/5 > **Megan** | *16 June 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to cost product with a recipe and for the general works of business management. > > **Cons**: The cost due to exchange rate. Wish I could find a product the same but not have to pay double the subscription price. ----- ### "Craftybase provides me with everything I need and is really easy\!" — 5.0/5 > **Pete** | *1 August 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Amazing basic functionality, customer support, and impressive ongoing improvements" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *6 April 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Wish it had a few more features" — 3.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *24 November 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/144117/craftybase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/144117/craftybase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
