Stocky shutdown

Export your Stocky data before the read-only window closes

Stocky has closed, but the door is not locked yet. Nothing moves across on its own, one thing cannot be exported at all, and the window is measured in weeks rather than months.

Export your Stocky data before the read-only window closes

Facts about Stocky and Shopify's built-in tools are taken from Shopify's own Help Center. Restocio is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Shopify.

If you missed the 31 August deadline, you have probably not lost your data. Shopify says read-only export access continues for at least 90 days after the shutdown, which puts the floor at roughly the end of November 2026. That is the window this guide is written for. It is useful whether or not you ever become a customer, and if it saves one supplier list it did its job.

Where things stand now

Stocky is no longer available. It was delisted on 2 February 2026 and could not be reinstalled after that.
Stocky's APIs stopped working on 31 August 2026, so anything you had wired into them broke that day.
You still have read-only access to export, for at least 90 days past the shutdown.
Historical purchase orders and stocktakes did not move into Shopify automatically.

Note the wording on that third point. Shopify says "at least 90 days", which is a floor and not a commitment to a specific date, and nobody outside Shopify knows what happens the day after. Work to late November and treat anything beyond it as luck.

The official detail is in Shopify's Help Center article on transitioning from Stocky. Read it once before you start. What follows is the practical order to do things in.

Suppliers are the one that catches people out

Your supplier list cannot be exported from Stocky. Purchase orders and stocktakes can be exported through Stocky's built-in reports. Suppliers cannot. If your supplier details live only in Stocky, they need to be copied out by hand before you lose access: names, contacts, lead times, payment terms, minimum order quantities.

If you have more than a handful of suppliers, do this first. It is the only part of the migration with no undo.

Step by step

Suppliers, by hand. Open your supplier list and copy each one into a spreadsheet: name, contact person, email, lead time, minimum order quantity, payment terms, and which products they supply. This is the irreplaceable one.
Purchase orders. Use Stocky's built-in reports to export your purchase order history. Keep both open and completed orders. Open ones tell you what is still in transit, and you will need that on day one wherever you land.
Stocktakes. Export your stocktake history. This is your audit trail for past counts.
Anything you report on. If you regularly pull a Stocky report, export a copy now so you have the format and the history.
Check what is in flight. Write down every purchase order that was placed but has not yet arrived, with expected dates. Incoming stock that nobody is tracking is the most common way a migration turns into a stockout, and with the APIs already dead there is nothing syncing it for you.
Store it somewhere permanent. Not in the app you are leaving.

Then decide where the reordering decision goes

Once the data is safe, the open question is what replaces the part of Stocky that suggested what to reorder. Shopify's built-in tools cover purchase orders, transfers, adjustments and history, but not forecasting or minimum and maximum levels.

To be fair to Shopify: the built-in tools genuinely do replace most of Stocky's day-to-day paperwork. Purchase orders, transfers, adjustments, history and bulk edits are all there, included in your plan, with no app to install. Their AI assistant, Sidekick, is included on every plan and will answer questions like “what should I reorder?”. If your needs are mostly record-keeping, you may not need anything else, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something you do not need.

If you import, and the real question is how much to order and whether it goes by sea, rail or air, that is what Restocio does. We can also take the supplier spreadsheet you just built and import it, so the half hour you spent on step one is not wasted.

Common questions

Can I export my suppliers from Stocky?

No. Suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky. They have to be copied out manually before you lose access, which is why it is the first step in this guide.

Stocky already closed. Can I still get my data out?

Most likely yes. Shopify states read-only access to export your data continues for at least 90 days after 31 August 2026, which puts the floor around the end of November 2026. Because Shopify says at least 90 days rather than naming a date, treat late November as your deadline and do the export now rather than testing where the real edge is.

Do my historical purchase orders move into Shopify?

No. Historical purchase orders and stocktakes do not move into Shopify automatically, and historical purchase orders cannot be imported. Export anything you want to keep.
