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. (Shopify Stocky, which was discontinued in August 2026, was a common choice for Shopify sellers — but it had the same limitation. If you're replacing it, we've compared the options against Shopify's built-in tools.)
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. Our guide to batch manufacturing for Shopify stores walks through setting production up alongside your store.
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.

Bills of materials
Shopify knows you have 40 candles. It doesn't know those 40 candles represent 12kg of soy wax, 40 vessels, 80 wicks and a fragrance oil you're nearly out of. That gap is where most product businesses lose track of what they can actually make.
In Stocksmith every Shopify product can carry a multi-level bill of materials — raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies nested as deep as your build really goes. A candle can be built from a wax blend that is itself a recipe. When a Shopify order imports, Stocksmith decrements every material down that tree, not just the finished listing.
The payoff is two numbers you can't get from Shopify alone: what each unit genuinely costs to make, priced from what you actually paid for materials, and how many more you could build right now before something runs out.
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.
Yes — Shopify has no bill-of-materials concept of its own, and this is the main reason product businesses add Stocksmith. Each Shopify product can carry a multi-level bill of materials covering raw materials, components and sub-assemblies, nested as deep as your build goes. Orders decrement every material down that tree, so you can see your true cost per unit and how many more you could build before something runs out.
Yes. You record a manufacture — a batch of 200 units, say — and Stocksmith consumes the materials from the bill of materials and adds the finished goods to stock in one step, then pushes the updated quantity to your Shopify listings. Each batch carries its own cost, so when material prices move you can see the effect on margin batch by batch rather than discovering it at year end.
Not directly — Stocksmith sits between them. Shopify orders import into Stocksmith, which costs them against your real material prices, and the resulting COGS and inventory-valuation journals push across to QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks receives accounting-ready figures rather than raw order data it has no way to cost. The QuickBooks sync is one-way and works with QuickBooks Online Plus and Advanced on USD accounts.
