Sound familiar?

“I sold $2,400 last month. Where did it all go?”

Between the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and a surprise 15% Offsite Ads charge, Etsy takes its cut in five different places. None of them show up in one place on your dashboard.

“My spreadsheet broke again at 11pm.”

You didn't open a handmade shop to maintain VLOOKUP formulas. But every fee change means re-checking every column — and one typo quietly poisons a month of numbers.

“The tool everyone recommended now costs $99/month.”

Craftybase renamed itself Stocksmith and repriced at $99–349/month. That's more than many makers earn from their shop in a week. Small sellers got pushed back to Excel — or to guessing.

One upload. Every number that matters.

No charts to configure, no formulas to babysit. Here's what you see two minutes after uploading your Etsy order export:

  • Profit per product — ranked, losers highlighted
  • Every fee itemized — nothing hides in “other”
  • Plain-English advice — what to change, by how much

How it works

Export your orders from Etsy

Shop Manager → Settings → Options → Download Data. Etsy gives you a CSV of your orders — takes about 60 seconds, no password sharing, no API hookups.

Upload the CSV to MakerMargin

Drag, drop, done. We read your real order data and apply every current Etsy fee rule automatically — listing, transaction, payment processing, and Offsite Ads.

See your true profit — per product

A ranked list of what actually makes you money, where every dollar of fees went, and plain-English advice like “raise this price by $3” — no accounting degree required.

Frequently asked questions

Is my Etsy data safe with MakerMargin?

Yes. You never hand over your Etsy password — you upload a CSV file that Etsy itself exports for you, and it contains order totals, not customer payment details. Your file is processed over an encrypted connection, used only to calculate your numbers, and you can delete it (and your account) at any time. We will never sell or share your shop data.

How is this different from a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet only knows what you type into it — and Etsy's fees hide in five different places (listing fees, transaction fees on price AND shipping, payment processing, Offsite Ads). MakerMargin reads the real numbers from your order export, applies the current fee rules automatically, and tells you in plain English which products make money and which quietly lose it. No formulas to maintain, no fee-rate updates to track.

Why is it $15/month when other tools charge $99+?

Tools like Craftybase (now Stocksmith) grew into full manufacturing suites priced at $99–349/month — great for factories, overkill for a candle maker with 40 orders a month. We only do one job: show your true profit per product. One job means a small, honest price. Early-access members lock in 50% off ($7.50/month) for life.

Do I need to connect my Etsy account?

No. Etsy lets every seller download their orders as a CSV file (Shop Manager → Settings → Options → Download Data). You upload that file to MakerMargin. Nothing to authorize, no API access to your shop, nothing that can break your listings.

When does MakerMargin launch, and what does early access get me?

We're building it right now and onboarding the waitlist in small batches. Joining the list costs nothing and commits you to nothing — you'll get one email when your spot opens. If you decide to subscribe, you keep the founding-member price of $7.50/month (50% off) for as long as you stay subscribed.
