Automated marketplace accounting for a Texas 3D printing business

A modular Marketplace app

Built a custom Marketplace app for ERPNext — a core framework with per-channel integrations installed only as needed — then configured standard manufacturing around it.

Etsy order flow, end to end

• Etsy orders create ERPNext Sales Orders and push to ShipStation for label generation
• ShipStation's shipment confirmation triggers a Delivery Note that auto-closes the order
• Manual orders (phone, TikTok, Amazon) get the same treatment through a dedicated "ERPNext Orders" marketplace

Marketplace fees booked automatically

Revenue and fees are booked via batch journal entries generated from payout reports through a clearing account — bypassing the daily spreadsheet entirely while keeping the ledger accurate.

Filament traceability and production planning

• Each filament lot receives a batch number on receipt, so any finished product traces back to the exact roll it was printed from
• Production Plans group sub-assembly prints, work orders track final assemblies, and a custom doctype logs machine time per job

A price a small business can pay

Rather than a big-bang project, Ripperden bought a small, fixed-scope consulting package — UnifyXperts provided the blueprint and targeted expert help while the owner self-implemented, extending hours only as needed.
