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.

If you sell products that share raw materials — same fabric across sizes, same component across variants — keeping stock accurate is a nightmare. SimplifiedStock solves this. Link any material to multiple SKUs, set how many units each sale consumes, and stock updates automatically across every linked variant the moment an order lands. Cancellations reverse instantly. Further, it calculates monthly COGS for you.

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
  • Manage inventory using shared materials across multiple products
  • Quick setup and bulk linking for large catalogs and complex SKUs
  • Prevent overselling with real-time stock updates and deductions
  • Never run out of bestsellers—save hours on stock management
