Built around how craft supply sellers actually work
- 1
You sell the pieces other people count
Hundreds of small components in dozens of variants — a supply shop is inventory as a product. Piece-level tracking is the whole business, done properly.
- 2
Kits are products made of products
A DIY kit bundles components you also sell individually. Kit recipes draw from the same component stock, so selling a kit and selling its parts never double-promise the same pieces.
- 3
Pack sizes change the economics
Singles, 3-packs and 5-packs of the same component carry different margins and different packaging. Pack-size variations price each honestly from one base cost.
- 4
Stockouts break other people's projects
When your component is step three of someone's craft, an outage loses the whole basket. Velocity-based reorder points keep the staples your customers build around always sellable.
What a diy craft kit really costs
This is the math Hivara does for every product you make — every line from a real bill of materials, updated whenever a supplier price changes.
The same components sold separately gross $24.50 — the kit undercuts the pile while earning more per order.

A day in Hivara, for craft supply sellers
Step 1
Receive components at real cost
Bulk purchases land as piece-counted stock with per-unit costs from the actual invoice.
Step 2
Assemble kits as recipes
The DIY kit draws its components, instructions and box — costed as a bundle, tracked as a product.
Step 3
Sell parts and kits from one count
Kit sales and component sales draw the same stock, so availability is always the truth.
Step 4
Reorder on velocity
The components that move weekly get tighter reorder points than the shelf-sitters — automatically visible.
Questions craft supply sellers ask
How do I track inventory for a craft supply shop?
Everything by the piece at landed cost: receiving converts bulk invoices into per-unit stock, sales draw it down across channels, and reorder points fire by velocity. A supply shop is pure inventory — the tracking is the business.
How do I price DIY craft kits?
Cost the bundled components, instructions and box, then price between the components' individual total and a bare-parts price — kits sell convenience. A $4.85-cost kit at $19 undercuts buying separately while earning more per order.
Can I sell kits and their individual components together?
Yes — kit recipes pull from the same component stock, so both stay accurate. When the last blue beads go into kits, the single-bead listing knows immediately.
How do I decide which supplies to restock first?
By sales velocity and margin together: fast movers with good margin get the tightest reorder points and the deepest buys. The report that ranks components by both is your purchasing list.
How do I handle bulk discounts when buying inventory?
Receive at the real landed per-unit cost of each order. When a bigger buy drops your unit cost, your margins update to match — and you can pass savings to pack prices deliberately instead of accidentally.
