How it sells itself

MakeStock tracks the wax, oils, findings, paper and other raw materials your products are made from, which Shopify does not. Add each material with a unit, cost, stock and low threshold, then build a bill of materials (BOM) for each variant. Paid orders deduct the materials once; cancellations and restocked refunds put them back. Can I make it? shows how many units current stock covers and which material limits it.

MaterialQueue helps made-to-order merchants turn open Shopify orders into clear raw-material requirements. Connect products to bills of materials, enter on-hand and safety-stock quantities, and see what is required, available, and short. Review open-order demand, identify products with missing BOMs, and export a purchase-ready CSV.

Key points
  • Materials with unit, cost per unit, stock on hand and a low-stock threshold
  • A bill of materials per variant, and copy it to other variants of the product
  • Paid orders deduct materials; cancellations and restocked refunds restore them
  • Can I make it? shows units makeable from current stock and the limiting material
  • Calculate raw-material requirements from open orders and product BOMs
  • Track on-hand quantities, safety stock, and material shortages
  • Export a purchase-ready CSV for replenishment and supplier planning
  • Build product BOMs with material quantities for each product
