Question 1

Is Stocky really being discontinued?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On February 2, 2026, Stocky was delisted from the Shopify App Store. After August 31, 2026, Stocky will be fully removed and you'll no longer be able to use it. Shopify is moving purchase orders, transfers, and stocktakes into the Shopify admin. For inventory analytics, reporting, and alerting, you'll need a third-party app like Stockful.

Question 2

Can I use Stockful as a direct Stocky replacement?

Accepted Answer

Stockful replaces the inventory analytics and reporting side of Stocky - and goes much further with daily snapshots, 12 report types, per-location analytics, Slack alerts, and supplier management with lead times. For purchase orders, transfers, and stocktakes, Shopify is building those directly into the admin (most are already available). Stockful focuses on the insights Shopify doesn't provide: historical tracking, ABC analysis, demand forecasting with OOS-aware velocity, supplier lead times, and health scores.

Question 3

Do I need to export data from Stocky first?

Accepted Answer

No. Stockful reads your existing Shopify inventory data directly via the Shopify API. There's no import or migration step. Install the app, choose your locations, and Stockful starts tracking immediately.

Question 4

How does Stockful pricing compare to Stocky?

Accepted Answer

Stocky was included free with Shopify POS Pro. Stockful has a free plan for up to 25 SKUs, with paid plans starting at $9.99/month. All features are included on every plan - no feature gating.

Question 5

When is Stocky being removed from Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Stocky was delisted from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026. After August 31, 2026, Stocky will be fully removed and you won't be able to use it. Shopify recommends transitioning to native Shopify inventory tools for purchase orders and transfers, and a third-party app like Stockful for analytics, reporting, and alerts.

Question 6

What features does Stockful have that Stocky doesn't?

Accepted Answer

Stockful adds daily inventory snapshots (up to 2 years of history), per-location analytics and comparison, 12 scheduled report types with CSV/PDF export, Slack alerts with reorder point triggers and auto-mute, supplier management with lead times, OOS-aware demand forecasting, inventory health scores, and dead stock detection. Stocky offered none of these.
