See every featureMadeboard gives your personalised Shopify orders a clear place in production. See customisation details, variants, quantities and artwork links beside each job. Move orders from New to Making to Done, search by order or SKU, and print a production sheet for the workbench. Refresh to bring in recent unfulfilled orders and changes while keeping your production progress. Shipping and fulfilment stay in Shopify.
You've got 50 unfulfilled orders and every one has an engraving, a metal type, or a monogram buried in a line-item property you have to open one by one. MakerBatch pulls it all into a single Daily Production Run Sheet, grouped by whatever matters to your shop, so you see "all the 14k gold" as one batch instead of 50 separate orders.
- Organise personalised orders in New, Making and Done columns.
- Keep item customisation, quantities, variants and SKUs together.
- Preview supported artwork links and open original files.
- Search orders and filter by product or artwork availability.
- See every matching custom order in one batch, grouped by any property you pick
- Track production status separately from Shopify's fulfillment status
- Print a large-type, checkbox-per-item run sheet built for the workbench
- New orders flow in automatically — nothing to import by hand

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
