Stocky is shutting down: alternatives compared + a 10-minute migration checklist

Updated July 2026

The deadline is real: Shopify removed Stocky from the App Store in February 2026 and will shut it down completely on August 31, 2026. After that date, your reorder points, purchase orders, and supplier data in Stocky are gone.

What you actually need to replace

Most Stocky users rely on three things: knowing when to reorder, creating purchase orders, and receiving stock. The replacement market, however, is largely built for multi-channel inventory ops — with pricing to match ($29–59/mo for features most solo merchants never touch).

The 6 main alternatives, compared

The 10-minute migration checklist

  1. Export from Stocky while you still can — suppliers list and any open purchase orders (Stocky → Reports → export CSV). Do this today; after Aug 31 there is no export.
  2. Write down your reorder points for your top 20 SKUs — or skip this and let your new app suggest them from sales velocity.
  3. Install the replacement — products and inventory sync automatically via Shopify.
  4. Re-create suppliers — name + order email is all you need to send POs.
  5. Set thresholds — one store-wide default (e.g. 5 units) plus per-SKU overrides for your bestsellers.
  6. Test one alert — drop a test product's stock below its threshold and confirm the email arrives.
  7. Close out open Stocky POs — receive them in Stocky before the shutdown, or re-create them in your new app.

Why we built Reorder Radar

When Shopify announced the Stocky sunset, every replacement clustered at $29–59/mo. If you're a single-location store that just wants "tell me when to reorder, and make the PO for me," you were left choosing between overpaying and going without. Reorder Radar covers exactly that core workflow at $9–19/mo flat — no per-order fees, no seat pricing.
