Stocky

It closed on 31 August 2026. Shopify delisted it in February that year, and the Stocky API stopped at the same time, so integrations that read from it stopped too.

While it ran it came free with Shopify POS Pro, which is why replacing it feels expensive: the parts you still need are now bought separately.

What it covers

• Raising a purchase order and sending it
• Receiving against that order
• Stocktakes and adjustments
• Demand forecasting and suggested reorders

That is a wider job than most single-purpose apps did, which is why no single replacement covers all of it at the same price.

Purchase orders, receiving and transfers are in the Shopify admin now. Forecasting, supplier records and printing barcode labels from a purchase order are not. Which is which is what Stocky did that Shopify’s admin still does not, and the replacements are sorted by job in Stocky alternatives.

Worth knowing first

It is built around retail on POS Pro. If you are online only, the licence it comes with may cost more than the app is worth to you.

Receiving is a desktop-first flow rather than a phone-in-the-stockroom one, so check it against how your team actually works before committing.

Where it goes wrong

Stocky and a second inventory app both write stock levels. Two sources adjusting the same inventory item will disagree, and the loser is your stock accuracy. Pick one system for stock and let anything else read rather than write.

The other one is assuming the forecast knows your business. It is built from your sales history, so a line with three months of data and a seasonal peak coming gets a confident and wrong suggestion.
