Shopify Integration
Shopify tracks what you sell. Stocksmith tracks what it costs to make — and makes sure you never sell more than you can produce. Orders sync automatically, inventory adjusts down through your bills of materials, and your stock position stays accurate without a spreadsheet in sight.
Connect your Shopify store once. From that point, every order flows into Stocksmith automatically — no imports, no manual updates, no end-of-day reconciliation.
A customer places an order in your Shopify store. Stocksmith picks it up automatically — no login, no CSV export, no manual import needed.
Finished goods stock decrements. If you manufacture the product, Stocksmith also updates your raw materials and components — right down through your bill of materials, automatically.
Updated inventory quantities push back to your Shopify listings automatically. One source of truth — Stocksmith — keeps your store, your production, and your suppliers all working from the same numbers.
For product businesses that make things
Most Shopify inventory tools stop at the finished product. They can tell you how many units are on the shelf — but they have no idea what went into making them, what materials you consumed in the last production run, or what you'll need to reorder before you can fill the next batch.
Stocksmith is built around bills of materials. When a Shopify order comes in, it doesn't just decrement the SKU count — it traces back through every component and raw material in the product's recipe. One customer tracks 600 fragrance oils across a product catalogue of hundreds of SKUs. Another manages chandeliers with 200 parts each. General inventory tools can't handle that.
The result is an accurate, real-time picture of what you have, what you can make from it, and what you need to order before you run out — not just for your Shopify store, but across your entire operation.
Build your recipes with as many levels as your products require — raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods. Stock updates cascade automatically when orders arrive.
Every order that syncs from Shopify carries an accurate cost — calculated from your actual material costs, not an estimate. Know your real margin on every sale, not just revenue.
Set reorder thresholds that reflect your actual production cycles, not just shelf counts. Get alerted before a material stockout stops a production run — before Shopify oversells.
Managing inventory across channels manually
With Stocksmith + Shopify
Shopify and beyond
Most product businesses don't sell in one place. Shopify is usually the DTC channel, but there's also Faire for wholesale, Amazon for scale, Etsy for discovery, Square for markets and pop-ups. Every channel pulls from the same physical stock.
Stocksmith connects all of them to a single inventory. An order on Faire doesn't know about your Shopify stock — but Stocksmith does. When a wholesale run comes in, it adjusts the same materials pool your Shopify listings are drawing from. No over-commitment, no silent stockouts across channels.
It's the gap that every product business hits as they grow. Shopify manages the Shopify side. Stocksmith manages the production side — and keeps all your channels honest.
Shopify's built-in inventory management tracks finished goods SKUs — it counts how many units you have of each product. Stocksmith tracks your entire manufacturing chain: raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, and finished goods. When a Shopify order arrives, Stocksmith decrements not just the SKU but every material that went into making it, giving you a real-time picture of what you can produce next and what you need to reorder.
Yes. Stocksmith is the authoritative inventory record — Shopify listing quantities update automatically whenever stock changes in Stocksmith. When you complete a production run, receive a material shipment, or fulfil an order from another channel, your Shopify quantities reflect the new position without any manual update.
Yes — multi-channel inventory management is one of the core reasons product businesses use Stocksmith. Connect Shopify alongside Faire, Amazon, Etsy, WooCommerce, and Square. All orders pull from the same inventory pool, so a wholesale run on Faire doesn't silently overcommit stock your Shopify store is counting on.
Most Shopify stores connect in under 10 minutes. It's an OAuth authorisation — you give Stocksmith permission to read orders and update inventory, map your products, and you're done. No developer required, no API keys to manage. Step-by-step setup guides are in the Help Centre if you need them.
Yes. Every Shopify order that syncs into Stocksmith carries a real cost of goods figure — calculated from your bills of materials and actual material costs, not a flat estimate. You can see your true margin per order, identify which products are genuinely profitable, and generate COGS reports for accounting at the end of the period without any manual reconstruction.
Stocksmith handles both. Products with a bill of materials track through the full manufacturing chain. Products you purchase ready-made are tracked as finished goods inventory — quantities decrement when Shopify orders arrive. Mixed catalogues are common, and Stocksmith manages them in the same interface without any special configuration.
