Shopify does not track what a product is made from
Finished-goods inventory does not tell you how much wax, oil, findings, paper or other material you have left, or how many units you can still make.
Available on Shopify
MakeStock - Raw Material & BOM Inventory
Track the raw materials and bills of materials behind Shopify products, and deduct them when orders are paid.
The job, and what MakeStock does
Materials, bills of materials, and deductions when orders are paid
Add each material with a unit, cost, stock and a low threshold, then list what one unit of each variant uses. Paid orders deduct the materials once. Cancellations and restocked refunds put them back, and every change is logged. Can I make it? shows how many units current stock covers and which material limits it.
- 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
- Low-material alerts, cost push to Shopify cost per item, and CSV import/export

Some plan lines on the public Shopify listing are cut off mid-sentence, including Free plan limits and parts of the Pro and Plus feature text. [TODO: Dean] paste the full plan lines before those details are added here.
Plan details are taken from the Shopify App Store listing (opens in a new tab). The app repositories were not available while this page was written.
Questions
What is BOM inventory in Shopify?
A bill of materials lists the raw materials one unit of a variant uses. MakeStock stores that list and the stock of each material, which Shopify product inventory does not.
Do orders change material stock?
Paid orders deduct the materials once. Cancellations and restocked refunds put them back. Each change is logged.
How much does MakeStock cost?
There is a free plan. Pro is $12.99 a month and Plus is $24.99 a month, so paid plans start at $12.99 a month. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial.
