It helps merchants manage stock levels, forecast inventory needs, create and receive purchase orders, perform stock counts, and transfer inventory between locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many Shopify retailers, Stocky has been a useful bridge between sales and inventory control. It&#8217;s helped teams understand what&#8217;s in stock, what needs to be reordered, and how inventory moves across stores, warehouses, and sales channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Stocky_sunsetting\"><\/span>Why is Stocky sunsetting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify\u2019s official guidance is that the Stocky app is being phased out because Shopify is bringing more inventory management features directly into its core platform, rather than keeping them in a separate add-on. So Stocky users are expected to move their inventory workflows into Shopify admin and Shopify POS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean inventory management is becoming less important \u2013 quite the opposite. Shopify is making inventory more integrated with the main selling environment. For businesses with simple retail inventory needs, this may be enough. But for merchants that also manufacture, assemble, kit, package, distribute, or manage more complex purchasing workflows, this change may be a good time to evaluate whether Shopify alone covers the full operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_this_change_for_Stocky_users\"><\/span>What does this change for Stocky users?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stocky stops being available after August 31, 2026.<\/strong> After this date, users will need to manage inventory in Shopify admin, Shopify POS, or another third-party inventory solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stocky has already been delisted from the Shopify App Store.<\/strong> New users can\u2019t install it, and existing users should be careful about removing it before they\u2019ve completed migration (more on that below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Daily workflows need to move elsewhere.<\/strong> Purchase orders, stocktakes, transfers, inventory adjustments, and replenishment planning need to be handled in Shopify or an external system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Historical records and supplier information need extra attention.<\/strong> Old purchase orders and stocktakes won\u2019t automatically move into Shopify, and supplier records can\u2019t be exported from Stocky. So save anything you\u2019ll need before the deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stocky APIs will stop working.<\/strong> Any tools or custom workflows connected to Stocky need to be reviewed and replaced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Some processes may work differently.<\/strong> Even when Shopify offers a similar feature, the workflow may not align with how your team worked with Stocky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teams need time to adjust.<\/strong> Whether you stay inside Shopify or move to another system, test the new process before Stocky becomes unavailable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_inventory_management_matters_for_Shopify_users\"><\/span>Why inventory management matters for Shopify users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ecommerce doesn\u2019t forgive inventory mistakes.<\/strong> If Shopify shows that a product is available but the warehouse can\u2019t fulfill it, the result is usually a delayed order, a refund, or a disappointed customer. This becomes even more important when the same stock is sold simultaneously through both Shopify, a POS, wholesale, or online marketplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inventory isn\u2019t just finished goods.<\/strong> For many Shopify businesses, stock also includes raw materials, components, packaging, labels, subassemblies, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/work-in-process-inventory-accounting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work-in-process<\/a>. A cosmetics brand, for example, doesn\u2019t only need to know how many finished products are available but also whether it has the ingredients, containers, caps, labels, and production capacity to meet demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inventory tracking and inventory planning aren\u2019t the same thing.<\/strong> Tracking tells you what you have in stock and where it is. Planning tells you what to reorder, what to produce, which materials are missing, which suppliers are needed, and when stock will be available for customers. For growing Shopify businesses, especially manufacturers and distributors, both sides of the coin need to be covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Shopifys_built-in_inventory_enough\"><\/span>Is Shopify\u2019s built-in inventory enough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some merchants, Shopify\u2019s built-in inventory tools may be the most practical Stocky replacement. If your business mainly sells finished goods and only requires simple inventory counts, stock transfers, POS workflows, and basic visibility, such as low-stock alerts, staying within Shopify may cover your day-to-day needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dedicated inventory system is probably a better long-term fit if your business depends on forecasting, has a structured purchasing workflow, does kitting or bundling, uses BOMs for stock logic, works with perishables, or has multi-location inventory tied to manufacturing. In that case, the question you should be asking is whether your inventory system can support the operational work behind every Shopify order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stocky_migration_checklist\"><\/span>Stocky migration checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a barebones look at your next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Export the data you want to keep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by exporting important Stocky records before the deadline. This may include purchase orders, stocktakes, inventory reports, stock adjustments, and other records your team may need later for auditing, accounting, purchasing, or operational reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t assume that historical Stocky information will be available in your next workflow. If the data matters, export it and store it in a structured, searchable format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Document your current Stocky workflows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before choosing a new solution, write down how your team currently uses Stocky. Include purchase orders, receiving, stock counts, barcode scanning, inventory transfers, supplier records, reporting, reorder decisions, and any connected tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This step helps you avoid choosing a system based only on a feature list. The right replacement should support the workflows your business actually relies on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Decide what comes next for your business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For some Shopify merchants, moving to Shopify\u2019s built-in inventory tools will be the most logical next step. If your business primarily handles finished goods, store transfers, stock counts, and basic purchasing, Shopify may meet most of your daily needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business manufactures, assembles, kits, distributes, or manages complex supply chains, you may need a more specialized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/inventory-management-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inventory management software<\/a> or manufacturing ERP system. This is especially true if your inventory availability depends on BOMs, materials, supplier lead times, production schedules, batch tracking, or multi-stage workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Choose your migration path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you opt for Shopify\u2019s built-in inventory tools, start testing the relevant workflows early. Run test purchase orders, transfers, stock adjustments, barcode workflows, and reports. Make sure your team understands how the new process differs from Stocky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you opt for an external inventory solution, evaluate your options carefully. Look for systems that integrate with Shopify, support your operational workflows, and can scale with your business. You can start by comparing options in our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/best-inventory-management-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best inventory management systems in 2026<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Avoid rebuilding Stocky in spreadsheets <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might need to bootstrap your operation for a short period after the sunset, we strongly recommend not building your new system on spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They might work as a temporary export archive, but spreadsheets are risky and limited as a live inventory or production planning system. They don\u2019t automatically update stock, reserve items for orders, calculate material shortages, sync with Shopify, or warn teams before purchasing and production problems appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_look_for_in_your_next_inventory_solution\"><\/span>What to look for in your next inventory solution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good Stocky replacement should do more than help you count products. It should help prevent stockouts and support how your business buys, stores, sells, makes, and ships inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For simple retail operations, the right solution should balance effort and gain, and focus on basic features like stock visibility, purchase orders, transfers, and barcode scanning. For manufacturers and distributors, the requirements are usually broader as inventory needs to connect with purchasing, production, demand, costs, suppliers, and customer orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shopify integration.<\/strong> Your next system should connect with Shopify so orders, stock levels, customer data, and fulfillment statuses can move between platforms without duplicate data entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-location inventory and stock reservations.<\/strong> If you sell from several warehouses, stores, or fulfillment locations, the system should show what\u2019s available at each site and reserve stock for confirmed orders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purchase order and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/supplier-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supplier management<\/a>.<\/strong> The system should help you create, send, receive, and track purchase orders while keeping supplier details, prices, lead times, and purchasing history easy to access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reorder planning and demand forecasting.<\/strong> A good inventory solution should allow you to set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/what-is-reorder-point-and-reorder-point-formula\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reorder points<\/a> and safety stock levels, and help you understand what needs to be bought, when it\u2019s needed, and how much demand you\u2019re likely to face.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barcode and warehouse workflows.<\/strong> Barcode scanner support can improve accuracy in receiving, picking, stock counts, and warehouse movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock tracking<\/strong>: <strong>lot, serial, and expiration.<\/strong> If your products require traceability, warranty control, batch records, recalls and returns, or expiry management, basic SKU-level tracking won\u2019t be enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BOM, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/kitting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kitting<\/a>, and production support.<\/strong> If you assemble or manufacture products, the system should understand how finished goods are made from components and materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accounting and business integrations.<\/strong> Inventory affects cost of goods sold, stock valuation, purchasing, and profitability, so your inventory system should fit into your accounting and reporting workflows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure

If your team currently relies on Stocky for purchasing, stocktakes, forecasting, or supplier workflows, it\u2019s worth planning the transition early.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781593864695\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need a Stocky replacement if I use Shopify POS?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not necessarily. If your inventory needs are simple and mostly revolve around finished-goods stock counts, POS inventory, transfers, and basic visibility, Shopify\u2019s built-in tools may be enough. But if you use Stocky for purchasing, forecasting, supplier management, multi-location planning, kitting, manufacturing, or distribution, you may need a more specialized Stocky alternative.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781594847133\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is Shopify retiring Stocky?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Shopify is retiring the Stocky app as it moves more inventory management workflows into Shopify admin and Shopify POS. The goal is to manage inventory more directly within the main Shopify platform rather than relying on a separate app. For some merchants, this creates a simpler setup. For others, especially with complex inventory or production workflows, it&#8217;s a good time to evaluate a dedicated inventory management or ERP\/MRP system.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You might also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/inventory-system-holding-back-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8 Signs Your Inventory System Is Holding Back Production<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shopify&#8217;s inventory add-on Stocky will no longer be available after August 31, 2026.
