MadeKeeper is inventory and pricing software for resin artists.
Resin and hardener you weigh, so that number you trust. Mold wear across a run of pours, and the pigment going into each one, are the quiet part — and they land in the cost too.
Free tools, no signup: the fair profit calculator.
free to start, and no card to start. No order-line meters, ever.
$19/mo for the whole back office, kept for as long as you stay. No card to start — MadeKeeper asks for one when you subscribe, not before. The shop stays free for cost a piece and one fair — no product cap. The tax packet, Etsy and Square, and more fairs are the $19.
Resin math is two-part math — resin and hardener by the ounce at ratio, mica by the gram, molds that wear out a few dozen pours in, and 24 to 72 hours of cure before anything can ship. MadeKeeper costs each pour like you mix it: precisely, with the cure window and the mold's slow death both on the books.
How MadeKeeper maps to your pour table
MadeKeeper measures resin by the mixed ounce
Log resin and hardener at cost; a pour's recipe pulls mixed ounces at your ratio. Gallon-kit economics finally show up per coaster.MadeKeeper weighs mica, pigment and inclusions in
Mica by the gram, dried flowers, foil flake, keepsake inclusions — the little glamour costs log per pour instead of vanishing into the supply drawer.MadeKeeper retires a mould once it has paid for itself
A $9 mold good for ~30 pours costs 30¢ a pour. MadeKeeper carries mold wear as a consumable so your bestseller doesn't secretly retire its molds for free.MadeKeeper holds a piece back until it has cured
Pieces mid-cure are made but not sellable — the demold-to-ship gap is real, and your stock counts respect it. Seconds with bubbles get their own discount tier.One coaster set, to the penny
Say you pour a set of four coasters:
- 10 mixed oz of resin @ 62¢/oz$6.20
- Mica$0.40
- Mold wear ($9 mold ÷ ~30 pours)$0.30
At $28 a set you keep $21.10 before fees. Keepsake commissions run the same math with the customer's inclusions at zero cost — and their sentimental value at whatever you quote.
MadeKeeper keeps batch records of which resin and additives went into what — written down in the app, useful whenever a customer asks what's in a piece. Claims like food-safe stay yours to verify with your resin's maker.
Market Saturday, for resin artists
The bench is one half of it. MadeKeeper follows resin artists out to the booth as well: it opens on one bar of signal, rings a sale in taps and files it against that day's event, holds that sale on the phone if the signal quits and puts it through when the bars come back, reads the tag you printed, and prints a market-day sheet before you load the truck.
None of that is a card reader. Resin artists take payment however they already take it; MadeKeeper only keeps the count honest while you sell. Everything it does at the booth →
Straight about what's live
Materials and true cost per piece, batch "makes" with your labor amortized in, the suggested-price coach, product variants, sales that drain stock, the market-day quick-sale screen, lot tracking, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, money-insight reports, multi-location consignment, the cure/best-by heads-up engine, mileage, expenses, and the Schedule C tax packet are all in the app today, with guided setup and a full Craftybase history migration to get you started. So are Etsy order sync, Square card sync, your own shop page, a Buy button on your own Square account, and custom-order requests off a piece you already sold. On the $24 MadeKeeper AI plan you also get receipts, shelves and recipe cards read from a photo — photo reads are on that plan; hand entry is how the $19 shop starts. Still building: your own books answered in plain words, buying a shipping label inside the app, and a best-customers report. MadeKeeper does not send marketing email to your buyers and is not going to: every maker here sends from one shared reputation, and a quote that has to arrive matters more than a mailing list. Nothing above is dressed up as done when it is not. See the full live-vs-building list →
Questions resin artists ask
How does two-part resin costing work?
Log resin and hardener at their prices; recipes pull mixed ounces at your working ratio. A 10-oz pour costs what the kit math says it should, every time.
Can I track mold wear?
Yes — set a pours-per-mold estimate and each pour carries its share. When the mold clouds early, retire it and the numbers stay honest.
What about keepsake commissions?
Log them as commissions — customer inclusions at zero cost, your resin and hours at full — with the deposit tracked. You'll see whether keepsake work out-earns production pours.
