Stocky Shutdown — Questions Answered
- Can I still use Stocky after August 31, 2026? +
- No. Stocky will shut down completely on August 31, 2026. After this date, the app will no longer be accessible, and you will lose access to your purchase orders, supplier data, and inventory history.
- Can I export my data from Stocky? +
- Stocky allows CSV export of purchase orders and inventory data. However, supplier contact information and lead times CANNOT be exported — this data must be manually reconstructed or imported through a tool like StockKit's CSV import that rebuilds supplier data from PO records.
- What happens to my Shopify products when Stocky shuts down? +
- Your Shopify products themselves are unaffected — they live in Shopify, not Stocky. What you lose is Stocky's purchase order management, barcode receiving, supplier tracking, and label printing features.
- Which Stocky alternatives work best for hardware stores? +
- StockKit is purpose-built for hardware stores with barcode receiving, bin location tracking, and label printing. Other options include Prediko (general inventory, $49/mo), Stockful (lightweight, $19.99/mo), and Inventory Planner (enterprise, $245+/mo).
- How long does it take to migrate from Stocky to StockKit? +
- Most merchants complete the migration in under 15 minutes. Export your CSV files from Stocky, upload them to StockKit's import tool, and your suppliers, POs, and cost data are mapped to your Shopify products.
- Is there a free trial to test StockKit before migrating? +
- Yes. StockKit offers a free trial so you can test the import and features before committing. No credit card required for the trial period.
