Edit your Recipe Material Quantities
Another little enhancement we've added this week is the ability to edit a material's quantity in a recipe. Previously, to modify the quantity of a material you had to remove and then re-add the material, so this should hopefully be a much faster and simpler process for everyone.
This was another suggestion implemented as a result of the ideas we have received via the new footer feedback area - if you have any thoughts please get in touch and we'll be happy to add them to our list for consideration!
New: Instant page jumping & saved per page settings
A great new handy feature is our “Go to page” option - now available on all list view pages. This enables you to quickly jump to a specific page without needing to navigate through the pagination.
In addition, we've also added logic that saves your last "per page" setting used and it applies it for you automatically: if you prefer viewing 100 per page you don't need to keep reapplying this setting any longer.
These features were implemented as a result of our new footer feedback area, so if you have any thoughts on how we can improve please get in touch and we’ll add it to our investigation list!
Payment terms for your invoices and more!
This week's big improvement is a couple of very requested enhancements to invoicing: you can now add notes that are automatically included on each invoice you create. This is ideal for payment terms, tax numbers and bank account details.
How do I set my invoice payment terms?
We've also made your business details that appears at the top of the invoice much more flexible: you can now format this in anyway you like rather than the rather strict address format we used to have.
How do I add my business details to my invoices?
You'll find both of these fields, along with your invoice logo upload now on a new dedicated tab called "Invoice Settings" in your settings pages.
In other news, our footer feedback area has been a huge success since we launched it last week: we've received lots of great suggestions that we are currently investigating, so keep the ideas coming!
Adjust your Inventory faster with our new quick links!
You’ll notice a couple of changes on your project and material list pages - we’ve shuffled some things around to make the lists clearer and easier to read, highlighted your current stock levels and added a number of handy quick adjustment links that you can use to add orders, manufactures, expenses and inventory adjustments.
When you hover your mouse over each of the up and down arrows, you’ll see a couple of choices for increasing and decreasing your stock levels along with a handy explanation of the differences between them.
We’d love to hear what you think!
New: Your Weekly Status Report
Last week we began sending out weekly summary report of your activity on Craftybase. This report shows you your total cashflow for the previous week, sales activity trends (including your most popular products) and total manufacturing costs.
Your activity is always compared to the week before, so keep an eye out for the little trend arrows next to each section to see if you are “up or down” from the last week.
If you don’t wish to receive this weekly report, just click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email and your settings will be updated instantly.
Haven’t received your weekly report yet? Let us know and we’ll investigate this asap for you.

Automatic daily importing is now available!
This week, we switched on automatic daily imports for all sales channels. We'll now import your data on your behalf by 5 am in your time zone every day, which means that you no longer need to manually import your data each time you log into your craftybase account - it will be all there ready and waiting for you at the start of your day.
Of course, if you wish to run an import between daily imports you can still do this in the usual way - just click the "Manual Import" button on your shops page and you’ll be completely up-to-date.
Import page enhancements
This week we have released a number of improvements to the import processes for both Etsy and Shopify.
The major change is that you no longer need to wait on your import page whilst the import is running. Once your import has started, you'll now be taken to your overview page and a status message will appear at the top of your screen with the current progress of the import.
You can from here navigate to any page and add information as usual while your import is in progress. When your import is complete, you'll see it appear as "completed".
Add Manufactures direct from your Order page!
We've made a couple of nice little improvements to your order pages over the last week. The first is that we have made your data entry faster by removing the Add Order Item popup - you'll now find that pressing the Add Order Item button will directly add a new row to your items table for instant entry.
The second improvement is the addition of an in stock counter on the order item - this will show you at a glance how many you currently have in stock of this item. You'll find the stock checker appear directly under your Quantity Purchased textbox.
The third improvement is the addition of a link to allow you to add a new manufacture for the selected project / variation, directly from the order page. This means you can now create your project, manufacture and order all in the one step! You’ll find this link right next to your new stock checker (it’s the little up arrow icon).
Our help article for adding a new order has been updated with the latest changes, so please do take a look to familiarise yourself with the changes:
How do I add an Order?
Of course as usual, if you have any questions please let us know and we’ll be happy to answer.
p.s. These improvements were all suggested by our lovely Craftybasers - so if you have any ideas for improvements please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
Improvements to stock counters
You may have noticed that we've been rolling out a number of small enhancements to the interface over the last week or so. One of these enhancements that we thought we would mention in detail is the new stock counter that appears at the top of your project and material pages.
The new counter is designed to show your current stock on hand much more clearly and also give you some quick links to your order, manufacture and inventory adjustment pages.
Clicking the up arrow on the SOLD box will take you directly to the form to add a new Order, clicking on the up arrow on your MADE box will take you to your Manufacture form. Clicking on the arrows on your IN STOCK box will also give you additional options to add an Inventory Adjustment.
Import your products and Orders from Shopify!
We are incredibly excited to announce that Craftybase can now import your Products, Variations and Orders directly from Shopify!
You can now keep on top of your inventory and profit margins from both Etsy and Shopify in the one place using Craftybase. Just connect your Shopify account to begin.
How do I connect to Shopify?
To connect your Shopify account, visit your Sales Channel configuration page and click on the Add Account button under Shopify. Depending on the current plan you are on, you may need to upgrade in order to access this channel - a message will appear on your sales channel page to guide you through the process if this is the case.

Material & Project Inventory Totals - by date!
We've added a little more power to our inventory totals area that allows you to select a specific date range and see your Starting and Ending Inventory totals.
You’ll find this tally area over in your new Material and Project Report pages - details on how to find these pages are here:
How do I find my Project Reports page?
How do I find my Materials Reports page?
Your old tallies on the list view pages are still available and have been renamed to reflect that they calculate your Total Replaceable Value for your stock. This is because they use your current unit prices and don’t factor in historical changes (whereas your new totals do).
If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to get in touch!
Due Dates for Orders
Today, we added the ability to set due dates for your orders. These are fully filterable and sortable so you can now quickly and easily see your orders by when they are required.
If you don’t ever need to use due dates, that’s fine too - you can turn off this feature completely on your settings pages so it doesn’t get in the way.
Cancelled Orders
Today we have released a better way to handle cancelled orders: you can now mark an order as cancelled instead of removing it completely from the system. Orders once cancelled are removed from all tallies and calculations around Craftybase so they remain in the system for your historical records only.
The process to recredit your project stock on hand remains the same as the previous remove order process, however you now will see in your Inventory Adjustments that the cancelled order will still appear to indicate the cancelled adjustment has been reversed.
A walkthrough showing how to cancel an order can be found here:
http://help.craftybase.com/articles/orders/how-do-i-cancel-an-order
Etsy orders can now be cancelled manually through the same process, or will be automatically marked as cancelled via the “Update latest status from Etsy” button. Further details about this process can be found here:
http://help.craftybase.com/articles/orders/how-do-i-handle-cancelled-etsy-orders
Custom Categories for Orders
To continue with our latest round of changes to make Craftybase more configurable, we have now released custom categories for Orders. We have removed the old set of fixed "Sales Channels" and replaced these with the same category functionality as you now have available on your project, material and expenses.
This means you can now tag your orders in whatever way makes the most sense to you. As we have migrated over all sales channels to categories, you can continue to use this like the old channels if this works best for you. Alternatively, you can start afresh and start your own classification system for your orders - its now completely up to you.
As with our new expense category feature, you can select colours for each of the categories you create so you can also completely customise your order charts around Craftybase.
