Etsy Shopify Square WooCommerce Wix Squarespace QuickBooks Faire Amazon TikTok Shop Big Cartel

Live integrations are being rolled out in stages. Etsy and Shopify are current priorities, with Square, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, QuickBooks, and Faire planned next.

What's inside

Six features. Zero fluff.

Batchforja combines inventory, production, orders, and channel syncing into one calm operating system for your small-batch business.

📦
Feat. № 01

Raw goods, counted.

Track every skein, bead, ounce, and yard. Auto-deduct from stock the moment a piece sells. See what's on hand, committed, and getting low without bouncing between spreadsheets.

🔄
Feat. № 02

Etsy, Shopify, Square — synced.

One catalog, every channel. List once, sell everywhere, and never oversell a market-day favorite. Stock Push keeps your listings accurate across all platforms automatically.

🧪
Feat. № 03

Batches & recipes.

Save the recipe for a 12-bar soap loaf. Make it again next month — materials draw down automatically. Create manufacture runs and keep a clean record of what was made and when.

🏷️
Feat. № 04

True cost per piece.

Materials, time, packaging, fees. See what each piece really costs and what it should sell for. Profit by line, by channel, by month — tax-ready exports when April comes around.

⚡
Feat. № 05

Auto-manufacture.

If a product has auto-make enabled and a valid recipe, Batchforja can trigger the manufacture workflow automatically when a channel order arrives. Less deciding, more making.

📊
Feat. № 06

Reports your accountant likes.

Profit by line, by channel, by month. See incoming orders, production status, and fulfillment state in one operational view. Track what still needs to be made, packed, and shipped.

How it works

Four steps to calm operations.

1

Connect your sales channels

Connect Etsy, Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, and other channels as integrations become available. One integration, all your listings.

2

Link your finished products

Match external listings to finished products in Batchforja so internal availability can become external stock. No more reconciling by hand.

3

Run inventory and production in one system

Track materials, components, batches, and order readiness without splitting operations across multiple tools or spreadsheets.

4

Sync outward automatically

Available stock updates push back to connected channels. Connected orders feed the auto-manufacture workflow when setup is complete.

Why this matters
A

Avoid overselling

Use one internal stock picture instead of trying to reconcile channel counts by hand across Etsy, Shopify, fairs, and your DMs.

B

Reduce manual production decisions

See what can be made now, what is blocked, and what should be produced next — before you run out.

C

Make automation understandable

Auto-manufacture is surfaced with simple readiness and issue states, not a confusing control panel.

D

Grow into more channels

Designed for sellers moving beyond one storefront who need operations to keep up without adding headcount.

For every craft

Whatever you make.

Batchforja is built for businesses that actually make things, not just resell them.

Our story

Built on a kitchen table.

Batchforja started as a personal problem. After trying every inventory tool designed for warehouses — none of them fit a studio with twelve glaze recipes, a kiln that fires on Wednesdays, and orders coming in from three different channels at once.

So we built it. The goal was never to build "software for makers" in the abstract. It was to build the exact tool we needed to run a real small-batch business without losing our minds — and without losing track of a single bead.

FAQ

Things people ask.

Is Batchforja live yet? +

Batchforja is in active development. Core inventory, production, and Stock Push workflows are being built first, with broader rollout planned after platform integrations are stable. Email support@batchforja.com to get on the early access list.

Is this just for full-time makers? +

Not at all. About half our waitlist is part-time — folks with a day job and a market booth on Saturdays. Batchforja scales down as gracefully as it scales up. The free tier is genuinely free, forever.

Which platforms are live? +

Shopify and Etsy connection work is underway, with WooCommerce, Square, Wix, Squarespace, and QuickBooks planned next. Additional integrations are planned as Batchforja matures.

What if my materials don't have SKUs? +

Most don't. You name them — "merino fingering, oatmeal" — and we handle the rest. Use barcodes if you want to, skip them if you don't. It's your studio, not a warehouse.

Can I import from a spreadsheet? +

Yes. We have an importer that reads almost any CSV — your existing Etsy export works on day one. No reformatting required.

Is this a desktop app or a mobile app? +

Batchforja is desktop-first today because operations work is easier there, but a mobile companion is planned so you can stay connected to key workflows — and check stock at a craft fair — on the go.

How do I request access? +

Email support@batchforja.com with a short note about your business and which channels you sell on. We're letting in early users in batches (naturally).
