What is KavanaStock?
A short, plain answer for makers, and for anyone checking they have the right KavanaStock.
Quick answer
KavanaStock (kavanaapp.co.uk) is the simplest way for UK makers to see the true profit of every product, with their own time counted. You add your materials and costs, build a recipe for each product, and it shows your real profit per item, warns you before materials run out and flags products that are not selling. It starts free, and it is built for people selling at craft fairs, markets and online. It is not related to kavanapp.com or to any wellness app.
What does KavanaStock do?
KavanaStock is a web app that keeps your materials, recipes and sales in one place. The core idea is simple:
- Add your materials and what they cost.
- Build a recipe for each product, with the materials used and the time it takes.
- See your true profit per item, because KavanaStock adds your own hourly rate to the cost.
- Get warned when materials run low (Pro) and when products are not selling (Premium).
- Match card sales from your own SumUp account to your products (Pro).
You can also try the maths without signing up using our free handmade pricing calculator.
Who is KavanaStock for, and who is it not for?
It is built for independent makers: candle makers, soap makers, jewellers, bakers, knitters, stationery makers and anyone who buys raw materials and turns them into products. It is at its best for solo makers and small studios selling at markets and online.
| KavanaStock is a good fit if you | Look elsewhere if you |
|---|---|
| Are a solo maker or small studio | Run a multi-person production line or several warehouses |
| Sell at craft fairs, markets, online or all three | Need orders pulled in automatically from Etsy or Shopify every night |
| Want your own time counted in your prices | Need tax-ready accounting reports or Xero and QuickBooks links today |
| Want simple low-stock warnings | Need barcode scanning or batch and lot numbers for recalls |
| Want to start for £0 | Need multi-level bills of materials with sub-assemblies |
We would rather tell you this up front than have you find out later. If the right-hand column describes you, a tool such as Craftybase or Stocksmith may suit you better. See our honest comparison.
How much does KavanaStock cost?
Basic is free forever (up to 15 products and 30 materials). Pro is £4.99 a month and Premium is £7.99 a month, both with a 7-day free trial. Everything is priced in pounds. Full details are on the pricing page.
Is KavanaStock the same as kavanapp.com?
No. KavanaStock is at kavanaapp.co.uk and the app itself is at app.kavanaapp.co.uk. It is not related to the website kavanapp.com or to any wellness app. If you are looking for an inventory and profit app for makers, you are in the right place.
Is KavanaStock affiliated with SumUp?
No. KavanaStock is an independent product. It can match card payments from your own SumUp account to your products on the Pro plan, but it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with SumUp.
What is KavanaStock working on next?
We are keeping KavanaStock simple on purpose, and we plan to add things that help makers selling online without turning it into complicated software. On our list: an Etsy order CSV import and a year-end summary export. We are also considering sub-recipes (for things like wax blends and soap bases) and batch codes. These are plans, not promises, and we do not give dates.
We are not trying to compete on barcode scanning, multi-warehouse stock, Xero or QuickBooks links, or live Etsy and Shopify syncing. If you need those, other tools do them better.
