Migrating from Stocky: the complete checklist

Shopify is retiring Stocky on August 31, 2026. It was delisted from the App Store in February, features have been disappearing since mid-2025 (inventory transfers moved into the Shopify admin), and after the shutdown date your purchase orders, supplier records, and forecasting simply stop existing. If your store uses Stocky for purchasing, you need a plan — ideally before the August panic.

Step 1 — Export everything while you still can

Open Stocky and export each dataset to CSV. Do this even if you haven't picked a replacement yet — exports are your insurance:

• Suppliers (names, emails, lead times)
• Purchase orders — at minimum every PO that's still open
• Product/supplier costs if you maintain them in Stocky
• Any reports you reference regularly (stock analysis, forecasts)

Keep the files somewhere safe. After August 31 there is no "log back in and grab it" option.

Step 2 — Decide what you actually need

Stocky bundled a lot. Most stores used a fraction of it. Be honest about which of these you touched in the last quarter:

• Reorder visibility — knowing what's running out and when
• Purchase orders — creating, sending, receiving
• Supplier records — emails, lead times, costs
• Stock transfers — now built into Shopify admin natively
• Stocktakes/counts, barcode workflows — POS-centric, niche
• Deep forecasting models — most small stores never configured these

If your real list is the first three, you don't need an enterprise tool — you need a focused replacement.

Step 3 — Pick the replacement tier that matches your size

The replacement market splits into tiers (see our full comparison):

• $19/mo flat — OrderPoint (that's us): reorder suggestions, POs, receiving, Stocky CSV import. Built specifically for stores leaving Stocky.
• $49–349/mo, GMV-priced — Prediko, Fabrikatör: AI forecasting depth, raw-material planning, multi-warehouse. Strong tools when you're past ~$1M GMV.
• $300+/mo, quote-based — Inventory Planner by Sage: enterprise reporting, open-to-buy budgeting, multichannel.

Step 4 — Rebuild in the new tool (the 15-minute version)

1. Install the replacement and let it sync your catalog and sales history.
2. Import your Stocky supplier CSV (in OrderPoint: Import from Stocky → Suppliers).
3. Import open purchase orders so incoming stock is counted correctly.
4. Spot-check 5 products: does the suggested reorder quantity pass the sniff test?
5. Set your digest email so low-stock warnings reach you without logging in.

Step 5 — Run both for one ordering cycle

Until you've sent and received at least one real PO in the new tool, keep your Stocky exports handy and verify quantities against your own knowledge. Trust is earned by a received PO landing correctly in Shopify stock — then switch off the old workflow for good.

The deadline, again

August 31, 2026. Stores that migrate in July will do it calmly. Stores that migrate on August 30 will do it badly. OrderPoint takes about 15 minutes including the CSV import — start the free trial here.
