Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from spreadsheets to automated craft inventory tracking.
How does MakerSync replace my Excel or Google Sheets?â–¼
Spreadsheets require manual data entry after every single sale and quickly break when you sell on multiple platforms. MakerSync connects directly to Etsy and Shopify, automatically subtracting raw materials and recalculating inventory balances the moment a customer checks out.
Does MakerSync calculate marketplace transaction and processing fees?â–¼
Yes! MakerSync accounts for Etsy listing fees, transaction percentages, payment processing fees, and Shopify costs alongside your raw material BOM expenses, giving you your true net profit margin per unit.
Can I connect both Etsy and Shopify shops simultaneously?â–¼
Absolutely. MakerSync is built for multi-channel makers. Your raw material bins are shared across all connected shops, ensuring you never oversell ingredients across different platforms.
What happens when the cost of my raw materials changes?â–¼
Simply update the unit cost in your raw material bin. MakerSync automatically recalculates the COGS and profit margins across every product recipe that uses that ingredient, showing you instantly if retail prices need adjustment.
Is my store data secure?â–¼
Yes. We use standard OAuth 2.0 API integrations with Etsy and Shopify. We never store your customer payment details or marketplace passwords.
