Retail is the fun table; wholesale is the business. Cards move by the dozen on a line sheet, stickers run 200 at a time from the printer, and the margin question is always the same: what does one unit truly cost, and what does it clear at wholesale minimums? MadeKeeper answers per unit, per run, per channel.

Say you order a die-cut run of 200:
Retail at $5.00 clears $4.65; wholesale at $2.50 in dozens clears $2.15 a unit. Both are good businesses — as long as you know which one you're doing, and MadeKeeper keeps them from blurring.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Log the printer's invoice against the run quantity, and the per-unit cost falls out. Reorders at better volume pricing update the numbers — so scaling actually shows up in your margins.
Wholesale is its own channel with its own prices. Sell by the dozen at line-sheet rates and the books keep wholesale margin honestly separate from retail.
Log club shipments as recurring sales with their real per-shipment costs — postage included. You'll know what each subscriber actually pays you after the envelope is sealed.
