Your Stocky Export Checklist Before 31 August 2026

Stocky shuts down for good on 31 August 2026. After that date, anything you have not exported is gone. Shopify has been clear that some of your data, supplier records and historical purchase orders in particular, will not automatically carry over to whatever you use next. If you want it, you have to export it yourself, while Stocky still opens.

This is the narrow, practical version of that job: exactly what to pull out of Stocky, in what order, and where to put it. If you want the wider picture of what is changing and how to choose a replacement, start with our overview of what merchants need to do now. This post is just the export.

A quick word on timing before the list. Do not leave this to the last week of August. Export now, while you still have time to notice what is missing and go back for it. A rushed export on 30 August is how supplier records get lost.

1. Supplier records

This is the data most at risk and the hardest to rebuild, so do it first.

Stocky holds your supplier names, contact details, and the link between each supplier and the products you buy from them. Export your full supplier list, and for each supplier note the lead time and any minimum order quantities you have recorded. If Stocky will not export a field cleanly, copy it into a spreadsheet by hand. It is tedious, but rebuilding supplier relationships from memory later is worse.

Keep this in a single spreadsheet with one row per supplier and clear columns for contact, lead time, and the SKUs they supply. You will import or re-enter this into your next tool, so a clean structure now saves time later.

2. Purchase order history

Your past purchase orders are a record of what you paid, when, and to whom. That history is useful for negotiating with suppliers, spotting cost creep, and understanding your real lead times.

Export every purchase order you can, including the line items, unit costs, order dates, and received dates. If you can only export a summary, prioritise the cost and date fields. Received dates matter more than people expect, because the gap between order date and received date is your actual historical lead time, which is the basis of any sensible reorder planning.

3. Cost data

Stocky updated your unit costs when you received inventory against a purchase order. Shopify's native receiving flow does not do this automatically, so your cost data is both valuable and at risk of drifting once Stocky is gone.

Export your current cost per item for every SKU. This underpins your margin and inventory valuation calculations in any tool you move to. A catalogue with missing or zero costs will quietly break those reports, so an accurate snapshot now is worth the effort.

4. Stocktake and adjustment records

If you have run stocktakes in Stocky, export the records. They are your audit trail for stock corrections, and they help explain discrepancies that surface later. This is lower priority than suppliers and costs, but it is easy to grab while you are in there.

5. The reports you actually use

Finally, export any Stocky reports you rely on month to month. Even if your new tool produces better versions, having the historical numbers gives you a baseline to compare against, so you can tell whether things genuinely improved after the switch.

Where this data should land

Two destinations matter.

First, a safe archive. Keep every raw export in a clearly labelled folder, untouched, as your permanent record. Do not edit these files. They are your fallback if anything looks wrong later.

Second, your next tool. Supplier records, lead times, and cost data should go into whatever you use after Stocky, because those three feed every reorder and valuation decision you will make. If you move to Stockful, cost and supplier data flow into your reports, reorder recommendations, and inventory valuation, and your historical sales already come straight from Shopify, so you are not rebuilding velocity from scratch.

Do the export, then breathe

The export is the one part of the Stocky shutdown with a hard, unmovable deadline. A replacement can be chosen and changed later. Lost supplier records and cost history cannot be recovered after 31 August.

So treat this as a single afternoon's work, done soon: pull your suppliers, purchase orders, costs, stocktakes, and key reports, archive the raw files, and load the essentials into your next tool. Once that is done, the rest of the migration is a decision you can take at your own pace.
