Inventory management for handmade and craft sellers
Handmade sellers juggle unique one-of-a-kind pieces, made-to-order workflows, and limited production capacity. Nventory helps you sell across multiple channels without overselling or losing track of your creations.
The operational challenges handmade & crafts brands face
Running a handmade & crafts business across multiple sales channels introduces unique operational complexity. These are the pain points that slow growth and erode margins.
One-of-a-kind items can accidentally sell on two channels simultaneously, creating impossible fulfillment situations
Made-to-order production timelines vary and must be communicated accurately to customers across channels
Limited production capacity makes inventory allocation between channels a constant manual balancing act
Material and supply inventory must be tracked alongside finished goods to plan production accurately
Scaling from one marketplace to multiple channels overwhelms manual inventory management workflows
Features built for handmade & crafts
Nventory provides the operational tools that handmade & crafts brands need to scale across channels without losing control of inventory, orders, or fulfillment.

Production Capacity Planning
Set availability limits based on your actual production capacity. Prevent taking more orders than you can fulfill within promised timeframes.
Multi-Channel Expansion Support
Grow from a single Etsy shop to selling across Shopify, Amazon, and more. Nventory keeps inventory synchronized as you add new channels.
Integrations for handmade & crafts brands
Connect the platforms your handmade & crafts business already uses. Nventory syncs inventory, orders, and fulfillment data in real time.
Frequently asked questions
How does Nventory prevent double-selling unique handmade items?
Nventory's unique item locking immediately reserves a one-of-a-kind piece when it sells on any channel and automatically removes it from all other connected platforms. This happens in real time, preventing the impossible situation of selling the same unique item twice.
Can Nventory handle made-to-order production workflows?
Yes. Nventory supports configurable production stage tracking for made-to-order items. You can define your own workflow stages, set estimated timelines per stage, and keep customers informed as their custom order progresses through production.
Is Nventory suitable for small handmade businesses scaling up?
Nventory is designed to grow with your business. Whether you're managing 50 products on Etsy or 500 across five channels, the same system handles inventory synchronization, order management, and fulfillment coordination.
