How to Export Your Stocky Data Before It Shuts Down

Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, and you can no longer use it to manage inventory after August 31, 2026. Shopify's own wording, in their migration guidance: after that date "you'll have read-only access to export your data for at least 90 days." So your history isn't deleted at midnight — but your purchasing workflow is over, and Stocky's APIs stop the same day. This is the checklist for getting your data out cleanly, including the one dataset that has no export at all.

⚠️ The purchase-order deadline is earlier than the shutdown. Shopify's migration guidance says to stop creating new purchase orders in Stocky about 14 days before August 31 — that lands around 17 August 2026 — and to *"receive and close all open, in-transit purchase orders in Stocky before the deadline."* If you have stock on the water, that is the date that actually binds you, not the 31st.

Before anything else: do not uninstall Stocky#

This is the one step here you may not be able to walk back, and it's available to you today. Shopify's Stocky documentation carries a caution: "It is recommended to avoid uninstalling the Stocky app... Data from the uninstalled Stocky app might not be retrievable upon reinstallation of the app."

Since Stocky was delisted on February 2, 2026, you can't simply reinstall it from the App Store. Shopify's instruction if it happens is to "contact our Support team as soon as possible" — so there is a path, but it runs through a support ticket and a maybe, not a reinstall button.

Treat removing the app before you've exported as a problem you might not be able to fix rather than a step you can undo. Tell whoever manages your apps to leave it alone until the exports below are done.

What to export, in priority order#

1. Products and stock levels — from Shopify admin (not Stocky)

Your product catalog and current quantities belong to Shopify, not Stocky, so this export survives no matter what: Shopify admin → Products → Export → "All products" as CSV. The file includes Variant SKU, inventory quantity, price, barcode, cost per item, and vendor name per row — everything an inventory tool needs to rebuild your catalog. This is the single most important file; do it today, it takes two minutes.

2. Purchase-order history — from Stocky itself

Your PO history exists only inside Stocky, and this is where merchants lose an afternoon they weren't expecting: there is no bulk "export all POs" button. Shopify documents the export one purchase order at a time — Stocky → Purchases → click the PO number → Download → PDF, Plain Text, or CSV. (You can also open the PO, choose Send, tick Attach CSV, and email it to yourself.)

If you have a few hundred POs, budget real time for this or decide which ones actually matter. Either way it's your record of what you ordered, from whom, at what cost — your cost history and your proof of supplier pricing. Shopify also confirms historical POs cannot be imported into Shopify, so this file is an archive, not a migration.

3. Stocktake and adjustment history

If you ran stocktakes or manual adjustments in Stocky, export those reports too (under Stocky's reporting section). Like PO history, this is primarily a record-keeping export — your audit trail of what changed and when.

The data with NO export: your suppliers#

Here is the trap most merchants find on September 1: Stocky has no supplier export. Your supplier list — contact names, emails, phone numbers, payment terms, notes — cannot be downloaded as a file. When Stocky goes dark, that data goes with it.

The fix is manual but fast: open Stocky's supplier list now and copy each supplier's details into a spreadsheet. For most stores that's 10-40 rows and under an hour of work. It is the least automatable step on this list and the most painful one to discover too late.

The cost-data step almost nobody mentions#

Your cost history doesn't survive, but your *current* costing basis can. In Stocky, open the account menu → Preferences → COGS and use Sync average costs to Shopify. That writes Stocky's computed average costs into Shopify's per-variant "Cost per item" field, so the numbers live in Shopify after Stocky is gone. It isn't mentioned in Shopify's migration guide.

Check your numbers before you run it. Shopify's own warning on average unit cost syncing: it "overwrites the existing cost per item value in your Shopify admin and can't be undone." If you've been maintaining costs directly in Shopify and your Stocky averages are stale, this buries better data than it saves. Export your current Shopify product CSV first (you're doing that anyway, see step 1), compare the two, and only then decide.

Don't count on the grace period#

Shopify does grant a read-only window: "at least 90 days" after August 31 to export, per their own migration guidance. Two reasons not to plan around it. There's no published *end* to it — "at least 90 days" is the entire commitment Shopify has made. And read-only means your purchasing workflow is already dead, so you need the replacement running regardless. The deadline that matters is the one where Stocky stops doing work for you: August 31.

Where to take the files#

Any inventory tool that reads a Shopify product CSV can rebuild your catalog. In InventoryQuick, the Shopify product export maps automatically — Variant SKU, quantities, prices, barcodes, cost per item, and vendor names are recognized on sight, so a catalog import is upload-and-confirm rather than an afternoon of column matching. Your hand-built supplier spreadsheet imports the same way, and purchase orders, receiving, and reorder-point alerts are included from the $19/mo Starter plan (live two-way Shopify sync is on Pro at $49/mo). There's a 7-day full-access trial, so you can run the whole import before the deadline and see your real catalog working.

Whatever replacement you choose, the order of operations is the same: export this week, import and spot-check next week, run in parallel until you trust it, and be off Stocky well before August 31. The merchants who struggle are the ones who start on August 28.
