Every gram accounted for.
The production and inventory OS for Shopify jewelers.
From raw metal to finished piece—and everything in between. Track by weight and by stone, build from multi-level recipes, sell made-to-order, take custom work and repairs, and reconcile every gram to Shopify.
14-day free trial · plans from $29/mo
Shopify tracks units. You track weight.
Your spreadsheet doesn't know the spot price moved.
Gold is over $5,000/oz and your COGS are wrong until you manually update every material. You find out when margin disappears.
Shopify sold it. Your stock didn't change.
A Shopify order fulfills, but nobody deducted the 4.2 dwt of 18K rose or the 0.5ct stone from inventory. So you oversell—or you stop trusting your own numbers.
You outgrew Craftybase. ERPs start at $299/mo.
Craftybase doesn't do BOMs. Katana doesn't know what a pennyweight is. You're stuck between a tool built for candle makers and one built for factories.
From raw metal to finished piece—and everything in between.
Most shops build for stock, make to order, and take custom work all at once. Forge follows the piece through every step and reconciles it to Shopify.
- 01 Buy
Metal and stones in
Receive purchases by weight and by stone—grams, dwt, troy oz, carats. Log purchase orders and per-vendor pricing.
- 02 Track
By weight and by certificate
Material stock by weight. Individual stones and finished pieces serialized, each with its own cost and GIA or lab certificate on file.
- 03 Build
From multi-level recipes
Build orders draw down components against a BOM. Nested sub-assemblies cost up from current stock—the recipe knows what it's made of.
- 04 Sell
Stock, made-to-order, or custom
Make ahead and sell from inventory, let a Shopify order trigger a build with no stock held, or quote a one-off commission with a deposit.
- 05 Outsource
Send work to your caster
Ship materials and stones to a vendor, capture their invoice, receive the finished piece—your supplied metal and their charge fold into one true cost.
- 06 Repair
Intake to return
Take in a repair, assess it, cost the materials and bench time, return it, and invoice through Shopify.
- 07 Reconcile
Every gram back to Shopify
A fulfilled order deducts its components. On-hand counts sync both ways. Every gram, every stone, and every dollar of COGS lands back in your store.
Built for the bench, not the back office.
A production and inventory system that speaks jewelry—weight, stones, recipes, and real COGS.
Track by weight and by stone
- Materials in grams, dwt, troy oz, and carats—not unit counts.
- Serialize individual stones and finished pieces, each with its own cost.
- GIA and lab certificate data on file: report number, shape, carat, color, clarity, cut, measurements.
Recipes and production
- Multi-level BOMs with nested sub-assemblies, costed from current stock.
- Build orders reserve components on creation and deduct on completion.
- Made-to-order: a 0-stock Shopify order spins up a build, then becomes fulfillable.
Sell more than stock
- Custom orders: quote, deposit, design, production, delivery—with a margin worksheet.
- Repairs: intake, assessment, repair, return—materials and bench time costed.
- Deposits and invoices issued through Shopify.
Outsource with confidence
- Send materials and stones to a caster, setter, or plater.
- Track the job and capture the vendor invoice.
- Receive the finished piece at true cost—your metal plus their charge.
Costing that stays honest
- Standard cost plus labor: a real cost-to-make per piece.
- Actual COGS captured at build, per serial when serialized.
- Reporting and CSV export with QuickBooks account-suggestion columns.
Shopify-native, not bolted on
- Lives inside Shopify Admin. No separate login.
- Real-time webhook sync; two-way physical on-hand inventory.
- Self-healing counts—fulfilled orders deduct components automatically.
One app. Three tiers. Pick where you are.

Made for how you actually work.
From the first ring you sell to a thirty-bench workshop—Forge grows with you, not past you.
Solo and bench jewelers
You replaced a spreadsheet or outgrew Craftybase. You need weight-based material tracking, multi-level BOMs, and build orders that keep Shopify honest—without an ERP's price tag or complexity.
Studios doing custom, repairs, and certified stones
You quote bespoke work, take in repairs, and carry diamonds with certificates. You need serialized inventory, GIA cert tracking, a jewelry-aware CRM, vendors and purchase orders, and outsourced casting—costed correctly.
Multi-location and established brands
You run a studio and a storefront, or several sites. You need per-location inventory, transfers, purchasing-needs analysis, and live metal spot pricing keeping COGS current across the whole operation.

Stocky Is Shutting Down: What Shopify Jewelers Should Use Instead
Stocky closes August 31, 2026. A feature-by-feature map from Stocky to Forge: purchase orders, vendors, multi-location, and stocktakes, plus the weight, BOM, and stone tracking Stocky never had.

Read moreQuestions, answered.
Does Forge work inside Shopify?
Yes. Forge is embedded in your Shopify Admin—no separate login or second app to switch between. It syncs with your store over webhooks in real time.
Will it deduct my materials when a Shopify order is fulfilled?
Yes. Forge keeps a two-way physical inventory sync with Shopify. When an order is fulfilled, its components are deducted from your material stock, and on-hand counts reconcile both ways.
Can I track individual diamonds and their certificates?
Yes, on Studio and up. Serialize individual stones and finished pieces, each with its own cost and COGS, and store GIA or lab certificate data—report number, shape, carat, color, clarity, cut, and measurements.
Can I sell made-to-order without holding stock?
Yes. A Shopify order for a piece you don't keep in stock automatically spins up a build order. You make it, it becomes fulfillable, and inventory reconciles—no overselling, no carrying stock you haven't made.
Can I track repairs and custom orders?
Yes, on Studio and up. Custom work runs quote to deposit to design to delivery with a margin worksheet; repairs run intake to assessment to return. Both cost materials and bench time and invoice through Shopify.
I outsource my casting—does that work?
Yes, on Studio and up. Send materials and stones to a caster, setter, or plater, capture the vendor's invoice, and receive the finished piece at true cost—your supplied metal and their charge folded into one number.
Can I run more than one location?
Yes, on Workshop. Track per-location stock, transfer between locations with partial receives, and sync each location to its own Shopify location.
How do I migrate from Craftybase or a spreadsheet?
Import your materials, BOMs, and stock levels in minutes. Forge has a Craftybase import built in, and works the same whether you're coming from a spreadsheet, Katana, or an ERP.
