The core Stocky workflow — and more

Shopify folded a few Stocky features into admin for POS Pro users only. InventoryQuick replaces the whole workflow, on any plan.

Purchase orders

The core of what Stocky did — raise a PO to a supplier, receive against it, and update stock on arrival. Included on every paid plan from $19/mo.

Barcode & QR scanning

Scan an item barcode from the iOS or Android app and it pulls up instantly. No dedicated hardware, no POS Pro requirement.

Multi-location stock

Track quantity by warehouse, store, or shelf — not just a single total. Transfers are logged as formal stock movements.

Reorder-point alerts

Set a reorder point per item and get a low-stock alert before you run out — from the $19/mo Starter plan.

Demand forecasting

ML-powered demand forecasting and reorder suggestions on the Business plan ($149/mo) — something Stocky never did as well.

GST-ready purchase orders

Enter ex-GST costs, set your rate once, and the PO shows subtotal, GST, and the tax-inclusive total — matching your supplier invoice line for line. Inventory cost stays ex-tax.

Partial receipts

Receive what actually arrived. The PO stays open for the backorder and tracks ordered vs received per line — with last cost and average cost updated on every receive.

AI assistant

Ask "what's running low?" or "create a PO for my top supplier" and it takes action on your real data. None of the legacy Shopify tools had this.

What doesn't survive the shutdown

Shopify's own migration guidance is clear about four things merchants tend to discover too late. And the date that matters most is not August 31: That window has arrived. Shopify tells merchants to stop creating new purchase orders in Stocky about two weeks before it closes on August 31, so raise nothing now that you cannot receive in time, and close out anything still in transit — a PO you cannot receive is stock you cannot account for.

Your supplier list cannot be exported

Stocky has no supplier export. Contact names, emails, phone numbers, and payment terms have to be copied out by hand while the app still opens. For most stores that is 10-40 rows and under an hour — but only if you do it before the cutoff.

Purchase-order history does not transfer, and there is no bulk export

Historical POs cannot be imported into Shopify. Worse, Stocky has no export-all button: Shopify documents downloading them one at a time (Purchases → click the PO number → Download → CSV). Budget the time, or decide which POs actually matter, and keep the files as your cost-history archive.

Do not uninstall Stocky

Shopify cautions that data from an uninstalled Stocky app might not be retrievable upon reinstallation — and since the February 2, 2026 delisting you cannot reinstall it from the App Store. Recovery means a Support ticket and a maybe, so treat removing the app before you have exported as a problem you might not be able to fix.

The APIs stop on August 31

Anything connected to Stocky through its API stops working on the same date — not just the app screens. If a spreadsheet, report, or third-party tool reads from Stocky, it goes dark too.

Full checklist: how to export your Stocky data before August 31

Migrate from Stocky in 3 steps

No consultants, no downtime. Most stores finish in under an hour.

1

Export from Stocky

In Stocky (or Shopify admin), export your products and stock levels to a CSV file. Do this well before Aug 31. Shopify’s window for stopping new Stocky POs has arrived — raise nothing you cannot receive before Aug 31.

2

Import to InventoryQuick

Start your 7-day full-access trial, go to Inventory → Import, and upload the CSV. The Shopify product export maps automatically — Variant SKU, quantities, prices, barcodes, cost per item, and vendors are recognized on sight, and a .xlsx uploads just as well as a CSV. Each variant arrives as its own item with its own SKU, count and price — so the dashboard shows a real inventory value the moment the import finishes, instead of a catalogue of zeroes you price by hand.

3

Verify and go live

Read the import summary — it reconciles every row in your file against what was written, names anything skipped, and counts how many items came in with no cost or no reorder point — then fill those gaps and you are running before the deadline. Importing your products works on Starter; connecting your Shopify store and two-way stock sync are on Pro ($49/mo) (new store connections are paused).

Don't overpay to replace a free tool

Stocky came bundled with Shopify. Most replacements are enterprise-priced. InventoryQuick is flat-rate — no per-user fees, no annual contract.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a Stocky alternative?

It depends on your size, but for most Shopify stores the right pick is a flat-priced tool that covers purchase orders, reorder alerts, and barcode scanning without enterprise pricing. InventoryQuick starts at $19/mo flat with no per-user fees and imports your Stocky data by CSV. For a full comparison of five alternatives, see our Stocky alternatives guide.

When does Stocky shut down?

August 31, 2026 — but the deadline you actually have to plan around is earlier. That window has arrived. Shopify tells merchants to stop creating new purchase orders in Stocky about two weeks before it closes on August 31, so raise nothing now that you cannot receive in time, and close out anything still in transit — a PO you cannot receive is stock you cannot account for. Stocky was removed from the App Store on February 2, 2026. Your data is not deleted on the 31st (Shopify grants read-only export access for at least 90 days after), but Stocky’s APIs stop and any integrations break, so a replacement needs to be in place before then.

Does it handle GST or VAT on purchase orders?

Yes. Enter unit costs ex-tax, set the PO tax rate once (for example 10% Australian GST) and it is remembered for the next PO. The purchase order shows the ex-tax subtotal, the tax amount, and the tax-inclusive total, so the PO total matches your supplier invoice exactly. Inventory cost stays ex-tax, and the emailed PO to your supplier shows the same breakdown.

How do I migrate from Stocky to InventoryQuick?

Export your products and stock levels from Stocky or Shopify admin as a CSV, start a 7-day full-access InventoryQuick trial, and import the file — column mapping handles the differences, and the preview shows you exactly what each column will become, including anything it would ignore, before a single row is written. Every variant row lands as its own item carrying its own count, price and cost — including the rows Shopify leaves without a SKU, which are given one built from the product handle and their options. The import then reconciles what it wrote against the rows in your file and tells you if a single one is unaccounted for, so a partial migration cannot look like a finished one. New store connections are paused while Shopify’s new method is switched on; CSV import covers the same catalog meanwhile. Most stores complete the move in well under an hour.

How much does InventoryQuick cost compared to Stocky?

Stocky was bundled free with Shopify but is going away. InventoryQuick starts at $19/mo flat (Starter) with no per-user fees, versus enterprise replacements like Cin7 ($349/mo) or Katana ($299/mo). Business is $149/mo (15 users) and adds demand forecasting.

Can it handle a large Shopify catalog with thousands of SKUs?

Yes. InventoryQuick pages through your full product list, so catalogs of 5,000 to 8,000+ SKUs load completely and stay searchable. Item capacity is set by plan: Business ($149/mo) covers up to 5,000 items and Enterprise ($349/mo) is unlimited. Larger Shopify retailers replacing Stocky typically land on Enterprise for the unlimited catalog plus the full purchasing and receiving workflow. New store connections are paused while Shopify’s new method is switched on; CSV import covers the same catalog meanwhile.

Does InventoryQuick do everything Stocky did?

It covers the core Stocky workflow — purchase orders, receiving (including partial receipts), stock management, and reorder points — and adds GST-ready PO totals, average cost tracking, barcode scanning, and an AI assistant Stocky never had. Receiving a PO updates your Shopify stock automatically, typically within a minute, with an automatic reconciliation pass behind it. New store connections are paused while Shopify’s new method is switched on; CSV import covers the same catalog meanwhile. Demand forecasting is on the Business plan.

Does the $19 plan keep my Shopify inventory in sync?

The $19 Starter plan covers purchase orders, receiving, and inventory tracking on its own. Connecting your Shopify store — including stock pushing back to Shopify when you receive a PO, and ongoing two-way sync — is on the Pro plan at $49/mo (new store connections are paused). Even at $49 that is well below enterprise replacements like Cin7 ($349/mo) or Katana ($299/mo).

I mostly used Stocky with POS Pro in my retail store — is InventoryQuick a fit?

Honestly, it depends. InventoryQuick is strongest for the purchasing side of Stocky — purchase orders, receiving, supplier management, reorder points, and stock visibility. If your workflow centers on POS-integrated receiving at the register, in-store counts, and label printing from the point of sale, InventoryQuick is not a POS add-on and a POS-native tool may fit better. Many stores run both: their POS for the register, InventoryQuick for purchasing and replenishment.

What about barcode label printing after Stocky shuts down?

If your products already carry barcodes or UPCs, nothing changes — InventoryQuick scans them with any phone camera, so there is no relabeling and no dedicated scanner hardware to buy. For shelf and bin labels, the free printable bin-label template on our blog generates them in minutes — those are for reading by eye, since locations themselves do not carry a scannable barcode. And if you use a dedicated label-design app for product labels, it works fine alongside InventoryQuick.
