Online Shop, Batch Tracker and Workshop Bookings for Candle Makers

With Mythex a candle maker can build an online shop that only sells batches that have finished curing, an inventory that deducts wax, fragrance oil, wicks and jars per pour, wholesale invoicing for gift shops, and bookings for pouring workshops. Describe how you make and sell, check it in a live preview, and publish it.

Batches, cure times and a holiday rush

Candles are poured in batches and need a week or two to cure before the scent throw is right, so what is on the shelf and what is sellable are two different numbers. Autumn and the weeks before the winter holidays bring most of the year's sales, and popular fragrance oils sell out at suppliers just when you need them. Sales come from your own shop, craft markets and gift shops that order months ahead. Workshops add places, scent choices and candles that must be collected or posted later. Too often the wax and oil are only counted when a batch comes up short.

• Wax and oils by weight, wicks and jars by count
• Each batch with pour date, cure-ready date and fragrance load
• Only cured stock offered for sale
• Wholesale minimums, case sizes and payment terms
• Workshop places capped by pouring stations

What you can build for candle makers

A materials and batch log that warns before autumn

Every batch deducts the wax, oil, wicks, jars and lids it used and records its pour date, fragrance load and cure-ready date. Finished stock is split into ready and still curing, and reorder points for fragrance oils are set for the holiday peak, not an average month.

Build an inventory app for my candle business. Track soy wax and fragrance oils in kg, wicks, jars and lids by count, each with a reorder point. When I log a batch (scent, number of candles, wax used, fragrance load %) it deducts materials and sets a cure-ready date 14 days later. Show finished stock by scent split into ready and curing.

A shop that never ships a half-cured candle

Candles by scent and size, wax melts and refills, and gift sets that draw from single-candle stock. Only batches past their cure date count as available. Shipping options suit glass jars and heat-sensitive melts, and payments use a provider account you connect.

Make an online shop for my candle business with candles in 3 sizes per scent, wax melts and gift sets made of 3 small candles. Available stock only counts batches past their cure-ready date. Each product page lists scent notes, wax, burn time and a link to candle care instructions.

Pouring workshops with scent choice at booking

Each session is capped at the number of pouring stations. Guests pick their scent when they book so oils are measured in advance, private groups such as hen parties can book a whole session, and the booking takes a posting address because the candle needs to cure before it goes home.

Create a booking system for my candle pouring workshops. Each 2-hour session has 10 stations. Guests pick a scent from my list when booking and choose collection after 14 days or posting to an address. Groups of 6 to 10 can book a private session. Show me the scent count for each session so I can prepare oils.

Wholesale invoices with minimums and terms

Gift shop orders respect minimum quantities and case sizes. New stockists pay upfront on the first order, established ones get terms, and overdue invoices are flagged. Corporate workshops and custom wedding candles get a deposit and balance.

Build wholesale invoicing for my candle business. Each stockist has a case size of 6, a minimum order of 24 candles and payment terms (upfront for new accounts, 30 days after their second order). Show overdue invoices. Custom wedding orders get a 50% deposit invoice and a balance invoice.

The true cost of each candle

Add up wax, oil, wick, jar, label, box and pouring time per candle, and see sales by scent and by channel: online, markets and wholesale. Many makers underprice wholesale because they only count wax and oil; this view shows it before the holiday rush rather than after.

Make a dashboard for my candle business showing full cost per candle from the materials logged in each batch plus labels, boxes and 10 minutes of pouring time, sales by scent, and revenue by channel (online shop, markets, wholesale) by month.

Customers tagged with the scents they buy

Orders tag each customer with the scents they bought, so when a seasonal favourite returns you can tell last year's buyers first. Wholesale accounts show their usual order and reorder rhythm, and market sign-ups are tagged with the event where you met them.

Create a customer list for my candle business where each order adds the scent as a tag to the customer, wholesale accounts show average order size and days between orders, and customers who signed up at a market are tagged with that market's name.

Labels, safety warnings and allergens

Scented candles usually carry fire safety warnings and, where fragrance oils are used, allergen information on the label. The rules differ by country, so check what applies where you sell. Whatever your labels say, the website should say the same: put the warnings and allergen details on each product page, and link a candle care page from the order confirmation. Most tunnelling complaints come from a first burn that was too short.

Plan the holiday season in summer

Gift shops order their autumn and winter ranges months ahead, so send stockists a wholesale preview page well before retail customers see the collection. Set fragrance oil reorder points by expected holiday demand and order early. Then launch retail with a clear last order date for holiday delivery, and a 'back in stock' sign-up for returning seasonal scents.

• Wholesale preview page in late summer
• Fragrance oils ordered before suppliers run short
• Retail launch with a last order date
