About Stock Push

Automatically export your latest stock data to your sales integrations using our Stock Push feature.

This article will guide you through how Stock Push works and how you can use it to keep your inventory levels in sync across your connected integrations.

Craftybase Stock Push allows you to update your Integrations stock levels directly from Craftybase. Updates can be sent manually, giving you full control over what is pushed and when, or automatically using Auto-Push on eligible plans.

With Stock Push enabled, Craftybase becomes your “source of truth” for stock quantities, helping you maintain consistent inventory across all of your sales channels.

Why use Stock Push?

• Centralised source of truth - Manage and update your stock levels in one place, with Craftybase becoming the reference point for your connected integrations
• Maintain accuracy across platforms - Keep stock quantities aligned across your integrations as inventory changes are recorded in Craftybase.
• Flexible control over stock pushes - Choose whether to send updates manually or enable Auto-Push on eligible plans to automate updates.
• Clear inventory visibility - View your Stock Push page to get an overview of all differences between platforms

How Stock Push works

If something changes your available stock for a product (for example, you record a manufacture, adjust stock, or an order is pulled), Craftybase will automatically create a Draft Stock Push for that product.

From your Stock Push page, you’ll see a draft push showing:

• The current calculated quantity in Craftybase (this is what will be pushed)
• The current quantity pulled from integrations
• The difference between the two, for reference

By default, drafts wait for your review. If Auto-Push is enabled, Craftybase will automatically push these updates at the next scheduled interval.

When a draft is pushed to an integration, it moves through the following statuses:

• Draft → created but not sent yet
• Queued → on its way to the integration
• Completed → successfully updated
• Failed → didn’t go through (with a note explaining why)

Supported Channels

We currently support Stock Push for the following integrations:

• Shopify
• Etsy

Enabling Stock Push

Before you can push stock updates, Stock Push needs to be set up for each connected integration. Setup requirements can vary depending on the sales channel and how your products and variations are configured.

To ensure stock updates are sent correctly, follow the setup guides for each specific integration:

• Pushing Stock Updates to Shopify
• Pushing Stock Updates to Etsy

Once setup is complete and you’re confident your inventory is accurate, you can enable Auto-Push to automatically maintain stock levels across your integrations.

Viewing your Stock Push page

The Stock Push page gives you visibility into stock updates that have been created and sent to your integrations, as well as highlighting where stock levels differ between Craftybase and your connected platforms.

To navigate to the Stock Push page in Craftybase:

1. From the top menu page, hover over the ⋮ option
2. Select Stock Push

This will take you to the Stock Push tab, where you can find an overview of Draft, Queued,  and Failed Stock Pushes across your connected integrations.

From here, you can also manage the settings for your connected integrations

Manual Stock Pushes

Manual Stock Pushing lets you review and send stock updates to your integrations under your full control. This can be helpful when you want full oversight or you're preparing your account for Auto-Push.

To perform a manual Stock Push from Craftybase:

1. Navigate to the Draft tab within the Stock Push page
2. Locate the Draft Stock Push you want to send to your Integration
3. Confirm the stock quantity shown is expected

4. Click Push to send the updated stock level to your integration

   

Automating stock updates with Auto-Push

Auto-Push automatically sends stock updates from Craftybase to your integrations on a set schedule, helping keep inventory accurate without ongoing manual work.

Why enable Auto-Push

• Keeps stock levels in sync across your integrations automatically
• Reduces the need to manually review and push updates
• Automatically maintains inventory accuracy across platforms

When Auto-Push works best

• Your inventory is accurate in Craftybase
• You're confident in navigating Stock Push
• You want to move to a set-and-forget approach to ongoing stock updates

If you’re still reviewing or correcting stock levels, manual Stock Pushes can help you get everything aligned first.

Troubleshooting

FAQ

How can I view my Stock Push history for a specific product?

You can view push attempts and results in the Stock Push tab under Listings.

Why are some of my products not appearing in the stock push tab?

Craftybase will only push active products to your integrations. If you don’t see a product in the stockpush menu, it’s likely that the product has been archived. To fix this, double-check the product’s status and reactivate it if necessary. Once active, it will appear in the stockpush menu.

How does Craftybase push products with decimals to your integrations?

Most integrations do not support tracking inventory in decimal quantities; they generally only allow whole numbers. Because of this, when Craftybase pushes product quantities that include decimals, the value will be rounded down to the nearest whole number before pushing to your integration.

Example: If Craftybase shows 136.8 units, the quantity pushed to your integration will be 136 units.

Can I report material stock availability (based on raw materials) to Etsy using Craftybase?

Currently, Craftybase cannot send raw material inventory levels or availability to Etsy. We only push stock updates for fully manufactured products that exist in stock. If you want to adjust stock visibility based on raw materials in production, this would need to be managed manually outside of Craftybase.
