Why now
Why Stocky users need a migration plan now
Stocky is not just an app in the background. For many Shopify POS and inventory teams, it has been the weekly operating workflow for low-stock reviews, demand-based purchase orders, supplier follow-up, stocktakes, and inventory reporting. Shopify says Stocky can no longer be used for inventory management after August 31, 2026, and historical purchase orders and stocktakes will not automatically move into Shopify.
Important: Shopify says suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky. Document supplier names, contacts, lead times, MOQs, and vendor/SKU relationships before the deadline.

A simple Stocky migration timeline

Preserve purchase orders, stocktakes, reports, and the buying decisions your team repeats every week.
2
Next
Rebuild suppliers and planning rules
Document supplier contacts, lead times, MOQs, order multiples, and vendor/SKU relationships.

Run workflows in parallel
Compare Stocky output against the replacement workflow before the cutoff changes daily operations.
4
Before the deadline
Train the team and retire Stocky workflows
Make sure buying, receiving, adjustments, reporting, and supplier follow-up have clear owners.
Do not wait until the final month if Stocky is part of your weekly purchasing workflow. Supplier records and operating habits take longer to rebuild than product data.
Replacement criteria
What to check before choosing a Stocky replacement
Use the checklist to separate product data migration from the workflow your team needs to rebuild: forecasting, low-stock reviews, purchase orders, receiving, reporting, and supplier follow-up.
| Workflow area | Questions to answer |
|---|---|
| Purchase orders | Can your team create, review, send, and receive POs without manual spreadsheets? |
| Demand forecasting | Can reorder suggestions account for recent demand and lead times? |
| Supplier management | Where will supplier records, lead times, MOQs, and order multiples live? |
| Low-stock review | Can the team see stockout risk before inventory runs out? |
| Stocktakes and adjustments | Who owns counts, adjustments, and reconciliation? |
| Reporting | Can you see stockout risk, overstock, slow movers, and supplier performance? |
| Team workflow | Does the new workflow fit how your team actually buys inventory? |

FAQ
Stocky migration questions
When does Stocky shut down?
Shopify says Stocky can no longer be used for inventory management after August 31, 2026. Merchants should export and document important workflows before the deadline.
What Stocky data should I export?
Start with purchase orders, stocktakes, low-stock reports, stock-on-hand reports, adjustment history, and any reports your team uses for buying decisions. Shopify specifically notes that historical Stocky purchase orders and stocktakes will not automatically move into Shopify.
Can Stocky suppliers be exported?
Shopify says suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky. You should manually document supplier names, contacts, lead times, MOQs, order multiples, and SKU/vendor relationships.
Should I wait until August 2026 to migrate?
No. If Stocky is part of your weekly purchasing workflow, migrate early enough to test purchase orders, receiving, stock adjustments, reports, and team handoffs before the cutoff.
Is this checklist only for Synplex users?
No. The checklist is useful for any Shopify merchant planning a Stocky migration. It also shows how Synplex can help once you are ready to rebuild forecasting, supplier planning, and purchase orders in a Shopify-native workflow.
What is the first thing I should do?
Export purchase orders and stocktakes, then document supplier information that cannot be exported directly from Stocky. After that, test your replacement workflow with a small set of high-priority SKUs.
