Stocky Discontinued: 5 Best Inventory Alternatives for Shopify Sellers in 2026

Stocky is gone. Now what?

If you're a Shopify seller who relied on Stocky for purchase orders and inventory management, you already know: Shopify discontinued Stocky in 2024. The features were partially absorbed into Shopify's admin, but only for POS Pro users — and even then, the functionality is a shadow of what Stocky offered.

And Stocky isn't the only casualty. TradeGecko, once the go-to inventory management tool for ecommerce sellers, was acquired by Intuit in 2020, rebranded as QuickBooks Commerce, and then shut down entirely in June 2023.

Two of the biggest names in Shopify inventory management — gone in two years.

So what are Shopify sellers using instead? Here are the five best alternatives in 2026, with honest pricing and feature comparisons.

What Shopify sellers actually need

Before we compare tools, let's be clear about what Shopify's built-in inventory can't do:

If you're managing more than 100 SKUs, these gaps become painful. That's why Stocky existed in the first place.

The bottom line

Stocky was good for its time, but it's gone. TradeGecko was better, but it's also gone. The Shopify inventory landscape in 2026 is split between expensive enterprise tools (Cin7, Katana) and lightweight sync-only tools (Trunk).

If you want what Stocky and TradeGecko offered — purchase orders, stock management, forecasting — without paying $200-350/mo, [InventoryQuick is the closest replacement](/shopify) at a fraction of the cost. And the AI assistant is something none of the legacy tools ever had.
