How Multi-Channel Sync Works in 3 Steps
Setting up custom inventory software used to take weeks of spreadsheets and manual data entry. With MakerSync, you are live in three simple steps.

MakerSync imports all active listings, variations, SKUs, and prices. Map each product to its bill of materials recipe (wax, wicks, oils, bottles, packaging).
Instant Webhook-Driven Deductions
The millisecond an order clears on either sales channel, MakerSync deducts exact ingredient quantities from your centralized raw materials inventory.

- No manual CSV data preparation
- Auto-detection of listing variations and bundle packs
- Continuous synchronization when new listings are published
Automatic Inventory & Bill of Materials Deduction
The moment an order is marked paid on Etsy or Shopify, MakerSync parses the bill of materials recipe and subtracts exact ingredient weights and parts from your raw supply inventory.

Multi-Channel Integration FAQ
Have questions about connecting your craft business? Here are answers to common questions from makers selling on Etsy and Shopify.
How does MakerSync connect to Etsy and Shopify without sharing passwords?
MakerSync uses official OAuth 2.0 API integrations provided by Etsy and Shopify (MakerSync is not endorsed or certified by Etsy). When you click 'Connect', you are redirected to the official platform login to grant secure read permissions. MakerSync never sees, collects, or stores your marketplace passwords.
Does MakerSync transfer or share my Etsy store data with Shopify?
No. MakerSync enforces strict data isolation between all third-party channels. Data ingested from Etsy is read exclusively into your private MakerSync workspace to deduct physical raw material inventory (BOM) and calculate production costs. MakerSync never transfers, exports, syncs, or bridges Etsy listings, sales, or customer data to Shopify or any external third-party platform.
How fast are raw materials deducted when an order is placed on Etsy or Shopify?
Inventory deductions happen in near real-time via event webhooks. The moment an order status changes to paid or processing, MakerSync automatically analyzes the recipe bill of materials for each purchased SKU and subtracts exact ingredient weights and unit counts.
Can I share a single inventory pool of raw ingredients across both Shopify and Etsy?
Yes. MakerSync centralizes raw materials into a single unified workshop inventory pool. If an influx of orders on Etsy consumes 5 kilograms of soy wax, your MakerSync available production capacity immediately reflects the reduction, helping you manage studio batch scheduling.
Does MakerSync support complex product variations like scents, sizes, and colors?
Yes. MakerSync supports granular variation mapping. You can link an 8oz candle to 200g of soy wax and a 4oz candle to 100g of soy wax, ensuring that varying product sizes and scents deduct precise recipe ingredients accurately.
What happens if I sell items in person at craft fairs or pop-up markets?
MakerSync lets you log in-person sales or quick manual deductions in seconds. If you sell finished goods or custom orders off-platform, raw materials and finished stock update instantly inside your MakerSync workspace.
