Claire FAQ: pricing, fees, inventory and account help

Claire (ClairePro) is a web app that helps handmade sellers price products from their real costs and keep material and product inventory in sync with sales.

No. The public handmade pricing, Etsy fee and wholesale calculators work without an account. An account is needed to save products, materials, bundles and inventory.

Create an account with email and password or with Google, then complete a short setup for your country, currency and preferences.

Claire focuses on the United States, Canada and Mexico, supports USD, CAD and MXN, and is available in English and Spanish.

Materials, labor time and rate, packaging, seller-paid shipping and an overhead share. Claire then accounts for selling fees and your chosen profit margin.

A per-product amount for small production costs that are hard to measure per item, entered either as a fixed amount or as a percentage. It belongs to that product only.

Organization overhead is your recurring business expenses, such as software or rent, spread across the units you forecast for the year. It is counted separately so it is not double-counted with the Production Allowance.

No. There is no universal margin. You choose a margin that fits your costs, channel and market, and Claire shows the resulting price.

Your own estimate of how many units of a product you expect to sell in the planning year. Claire uses it to spread organization overhead per unit.

A forecast-based estimate of whether your planned sales cover your recurring business costs. It uses your forecasts and saved prices, not actual sales.

Its saved pricing data is incomplete or in an older format, so Claire leaves it out of the estimate until you open and re-save it in the pricing wizard.

A set of listing, transaction and payment processing fee components for a marketplace and country. The rates are editable estimates you should verify with the platform.

When you save a product with a fee profile, Claire stores the exact fee values used. Saved prices do not change automatically when the fee catalog is updated.

Open the product in the pricing wizard. If the catalog changed, Claire shows a comparison and applies new rates only if you choose to refresh and then save.

Yes. On the Fee Profiles page you can save your own overrides for a profile, and they are used when you adopt that profile.

You can convert saved amounts at a live exchange rate. Keeping the numbers and changing only the label is allowed only when no saved fee snapshot has a non-zero fixed amount; otherwise Claire requires conversion. Percentages never change, and fixed amounts convert once.

Recording a sale deducts the product's stock and, for bundles, the stock of every product in the bundle. Materials track stock with low-stock alerts.

Free includes the pricing calculator, up to 3 saved products, 1 bundle and basic material inventory. Pro adds unlimited products and bundles, material editing, restocking, inventory sync and CSV exports.

Pro is billed through Stripe weekly, monthly or yearly. You can cancel in the Stripe Customer Portal; cancellation stops future renewals and access continues through the paid period.

Pro users can export CSV files. Any user can delete their account from Settings, which removes account data on the server as described in the Privacy Policy.

No. Claire does not sell personal information or use behavioral advertising. See the Privacy Policy for processors and your rights.
