The timeline you're working with

  1. Feature development ends

    Inventory transfers and min/max forecasting removed from Stocky.

  2. Delisted from App Store

    Stocky removed from the Shopify App Store. Existing installs continue — but if you uninstall now, you cannot reinstall.

  3. Full shutdown

    Stocky and its APIs stopped operating. Shopify says existing installations have read-only export access for at least 90 days after shutdown; no exact end date is published.

1

Export everything Stocky lets you export

Stocky's reports section is where your exportable data lives. There's no single "export everything" button — each report type is a separate export.

What this step does not cover: supplier records. See Step 2.

2
Important migration check

Verify and preserve supplier data

Shopify says supplier records cannot be exported from Stocky. Stockroom advertises an importer that can include supplier data from a Stocky ZIP, but that claim conflicts with Shopify's guidance. Inspect your actual archive, confirm the import fields with Stockroom, and manually record any supplier information you cannot verify.

3

Decide between Shopify's native tools and a dedicated app

This decision depends entirely on how you actually used Stocky — not on a feature checklist. Be honest with yourself about which features you used regularly versus which ones just existed in case you needed them.

Shopify's native admin is probably enough if:

  • You have a small number of SKUs and one or two simple supplier relationships
  • You mainly need basic purchase orders and manual stock adjustments
  • You never relied on Stocky's forecasting or automatic reorder point calculations

You need a dedicated app if:

  • You relied on automatic reorder point or demand forecasting calculations
  • You manage multiple suppliers with different lead times
  • You operate multiple locations and need coordinated transfers and reporting
  • You want deeper reporting (ABC analysis, dead stock, vendor performance)
Native Shopify gaps as of mid-2026: No CSV import to PO line items, no barcode scanner receiving in admin, no PO receive through Shopify POS (the way transfers work), and no built-in email-to-supplier for POs (PDF download only). Shopify has indicated these are planned but not yet available. See Shopify's purchase-order documentation and inventory transfer documentation for its native workflows.

Test before you commit

Whichever direction you choose, validate it before fully switching over:

5

Validate the replacement against Shopify and archived exports

Stocky stopped operating on August 31, 2026, so a live parallel run is no longer possible. Instead, compare available Stocky reports with current Shopify records, confirm any migrated fields, and test the replacement's purchase-order, receiving, transfer, and reorder workflows before relying on them.

Clean up and train your team

A note on Supremo

If you've decided you need a dedicated app

Supremo covers the core purchase order, vendor management, multi-location, and reorder point workflows including automatic reorder point calculation (sales velocity x lead time + safety stock, recalculated hourly), full PO creation and email delivery to vendors, and 8 built-in reports. The free tier includes every feature for up to 100 products, so you can evaluate those workflows against current Shopify records and any retained Stocky exports.

Supremo does not have an automated Stocky data import. Stockroom advertises a Stocky ZIP importer, but supplier data in the archive is not confirmed by Shopify's public export guidance; verify the file and importer before relying on it. After you install Supremo, our team can help you manually set up your vendor list and lead times using verified supplier details. Supremo also doesn't currently support barcode scanning for receiving or stocktakes — if that's core to your workflow, you may want to pair it with a dedicated barcode app.

Frequently asked questions

Download the Stocky reports you can still access now. Shopify says read-only export access lasts for at least 90 days after August 31, 2026, but it has not published an exact end date. Shopify says supplier records cannot be exported; Stockroom advertises importing supplier data from a Stocky ZIP, so verify your archive and any import results rather than assuming those records are present.

Shopify says existing Stocky installations have read-only access to export data for at least 90 days after August 31, 2026. Shopify has not published an exact cutoff date, so check the app and official guidance now. Stocky APIs stopped working on August 31.

It depends on the store. Shopify's native admin handles basic stock tracking, manual purchase orders, and inventory adjustments, which is enough for simple, low-SKU operations. Stores that relied on Stocky's automatic reorder calculations, multi-vendor lead time tracking, or detailed reporting will likely need a dedicated third-party app.

It depends on the archive, catalog, workflows, and how much supplier information needs to be reconstructed. Stocky stopped operating on August 31, 2026, so a live parallel run is no longer possible. Allow time to export available reports, verify records against Shopify, test the replacement, and train staff.

Stockroom advertises importing data from a Stocky ZIP, including supplier and purchase-order information; this is a vendor claim that was not independently tested. Shopify's Help Center says supplier records cannot be exported from Stocky, so confirm what is actually in your archive and exactly what the importer transfers. Supremo does not offer an automated Stocky import. Shopify says historical Stocky purchase orders do not import into Shopify as past transactions.
