Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify tracks finished products. It does not track the silver wire, coffee beans, fabric or packaging you consume to make them, so makers keep it in a spreadsheet that drifts. Recipe Stock links each product variant to the materials it uses. When an order is paid, those materials come off stock automatically, at the exact quantity your recipe specifies. Decimals are supported, so 2.5 g is 2.5 g.
You buy raw materials and make your products from them. Set up fast: snap a photo of a supplier invoice, receipt, or spreadsheet and Benchtop reads your materials and costs in. It tracks what you have, warns you before you run low, and shows how many you can make right now.
