Welcome to Ardent Seller

Whether you're a craft seller, home baker, or small business owner, Ardent Seller helps you track your inventory, manage costs, and grow your business. Follow the steps below to get started.

1

Start with your ingredients

Begin by adding the raw ingredients, materials, or supplies you work with. Include details like unit of measure and cost — these will be the building blocks for everything that follows.

Add Ingredients
2

Define what you make

Next, create your finished goods — the items you produce from your ingredients. Think of these as the end results of your work, like a batch of cookies or a handmade candle.

Add Finished Goods
3

Write a recipe for a finished good

Now connect the two: build a recipe that turns your ingredients into a finished good. Define the quantities, steps, and expected yield so you can track production costs and scale batches.

Create your products for sale

With your finished goods ready, set up the products you plan to sell. Products represent what your customers see and buy.

5

Link a recipe to a product

Finally, create a recipe for one of your products. This ties your finished goods and production steps directly to a sellable item, giving you a complete picture of cost, pricing, and profit.
