Where the money went, last 90 days
Money in a craft supplies seller business has a shape of its own, and most tools ignore it. Craft supplies mean enormous ranges of small, cheap items. Hundreds of colours, sizes and variants, each selling a few units a month. That is a lot of individual lines to manage and a lot of cash spread very thin across stock that individually turns slowly.
Basket size is the central problem. Someone buying three reels of thread has a very small order, and postage on that order is a large share of it. Getting the average order value up through bundles or minimum spends is usually worth more than any amount of extra traffic.
Customers are loyal and knowledgeable. They come back regularly for consumables, which makes repeat rate strong if you keep the range they need in stock. Running out of a specific colour is a genuine reason to lose someone.

Where the money went
Upload a statement and Cashowa does the sorting. Free to start, no card needed.
Three situations that come up constantly in craft supplies.
Cashowa reports average order value from your imports. Watching that figure while you experiment with bundles or free postage thresholds tells you quickly whether the change worked.
With hundreds of lines, the slow mover list is the practical way to prune a range without guessing.
Enter stock levels and lead times on your best sellers and get warned before they run out, because in this category the specific colour is often the whole reason for the order.
Switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly to see the pattern.
Autumn and winter are strongest as indoor hobbies pick up, with a clear lift before Christmas for gift making. Summer is usually the quietest stretch.
Upload twelve months and the pattern stops being something you half remember. You can switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly, which matters when income arrives in lumps and a single month tells you very little.
Import your sales file and Cashowa works out profit per product, what is selling, and what has not moved in sixty days. Enter what each item costs you once and the margins stop being guesswork.
Add a lead time and it warns you before something runs out, rather than after.

Built around how craft supplies sell, not around a generic business.
The thing worth working on when orders are small.
Which shades and sizes to stop carrying.
Margin against the time it takes to assemble them.
The lever that matters most when baskets are small.
Prune a huge range using data rather than instinct.
These get recognised and sorted on their own when they turn up on your statement. If something specific to your setup gets filed wrongly, you fix it once and it sticks.
Export a statement, upload it, and the categorising happens on its own.
The things worth knowing before you sign up.
