A scent name does not describe the whole order
Vessel style, lid, label and packaging can all change what the buyer expects. Confirm the product details before a custom request reaches the making table.
Software for candle business owners
Keep the order clear while the candles take shape.
When a stockist asks for a restock, the last order is a useful starting point rather than automatic approval of every detail. Keep scent, vessel, packaging and collection arrangements clear for retail and custom buyers too. Microtra handles the commercial records while your making, testing and safety procedures govern the product.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Wholesale and retail need different conversations
A shop buyer may want a mixed selection with an invoice, while a market customer takes a finished item away. Keep quantities, billing contact and fulfillment arrangements clear for each sale.
Materials can disappear into samples and waste
Wax left from trials, damaged vessels and unsuitable labels still cost the business. Recording relevant purchasing and wastage helps explain why materials bought are not the same as finished products sold.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Keep buyer details beside the sale
Save customer contacts, billing preferences and order notes. Use document history to check what a stockist previously bought or what a custom buyer approved without guessing from a product photo.
Explore this featureRecord the agreed selection
Build estimates or invoices with clear item descriptions and quantities. Distinguish finished candles, custom packaging and approved extras so the buyer can review the order before you share its PDF from your device.
Explore this featureKnow where supplies and products stand
Retail shop starts with stock and locations enabled. Use variants, physical counts, transfers and wastage for the saved items you track, from containers and packaging to finished products, without treating stock records as a formulation system.
Explore this featureReview costs beyond the pour
Enter business expenses for supplies, display equipment and outside services with receipt photos. Review those costs alongside sales and unpaid stockist invoices so event activity does not obscure the business position.
Explore this featureSeparate a requested variation from a repeat sale
A stockist may use a familiar product name while asking for different labels, packaging or vessel presentation. Review the previous order and confirm what has changed before preparing the next estimate. Keep the buyer?s approved variation explicit in the new commercial document, while your own product-development process determines whether that variation belongs in the range you are prepared to make and sell.

Clarify the product request
Confirm scent, presentation and the intended order selection. Check your own tested product range before agreeing to a custom variation or delivery arrangement.
Prepare the commercial document
List product quantities and any approved customization separately. Confirm collection or handover details directly, keeping them in the order notes with the buyer.
Reconcile the materials
Use your making process to produce and test the products. Record relevant stock movements and wastage for the items you manage after checking what was actually used.
Close the sale
Share the invoice PDF through your device and record payment already received elsewhere. Review any outstanding stockist balance and the next agreed order through your usual buyer channel.

Questions from candle business owners.
Does Microtra calculate wax and fragrance formulas?
Microtra does not calculate formulations, burn-test results or product safety information. Use appropriate making and testing procedures, then enter the finished items, quantities and business costs you choose to manage.
Which setup should a candle business use?
Retail shop provides Order and Customer, with stock and locations on. Schedule starts off; enable it in Modules & terms before recording planned appointments or other visits there.
Can I keep custom label instructions with an order?
Use order notes for the buyer-approved wording and presentation brief. Review proofs through your existing process and keep the final agreement clear before producing the label.
Can buyers purchase products through Microtra?
Microtra does not provide an online storefront or marketplace checkout. Take orders through your existing sales channels and record the agreed sale and payment received in the app.
