Stocky shuts down Aug 31, 2026
Stocky alternative

The Stocky alternative built for planning, not just admin.

Shopify is sunsetting Stocky on August 31, 2026. Forstock picks up exactly where it leaves off — demand forecasting, smart reorders, and purchase orders — and adds the things Stocky never had: true (stockout-adjusted) demand and one view across Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart.

The Stocky sunset, by date

The clock is already running. Here's the timeline.

Jul 7, 2025

Features removed

Stocky stopped supporting inventory transfers between locations and min/max forecasting.

Feb 2, 2026

Pulled from the App Store

Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store. No new installs — and if you uninstall it, you can't reinstall.

Aug 31, 2026

Full shutdown

Stocky stops working entirely. The app and all its APIs go dark. Anything you haven't moved is gone.

Nothing left behind

Everything Stocky did, Forstock picks up.

Stocky · Demand forecasting

Forecasts every SKU months ahead, and corrects for sales lost during past stockouts so you plan on true demand — not an inventory-capped average.

Stocky · Reorder points & suggested POs

Tells you exactly what to buy and when, factoring lead time, safety stock, MOQ, and pack size — with the math shown for every quantity.

Stocky · Purchase orders

Create, split, and receive POs grouped by supplier, then sync received stock straight back to Shopify.

Stocky · Supplier records (lead times, MOQs)

Rebuild them once in Forstock — per-SKU lead time, MOQ, and pack size, bulk-editable across hundreds of products. (Stocky can't export these, so our template helps you capture them first.)

Stocky · Inventory reports & analytics

Plan vs. actual vs. last year by month, ABC-style stock grading, cover days, and at-risk flags — in units or revenue.

Stocky · Single-store inventory view

One live source of truth across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart and more — not just one store.

The honest version

“Can't I just use Shopify Admin?” Partly.

Shopify Admin handles operations, stock levels and locations, and it does that well. What it doesn't do is planning: forecasting, reorder quantities, and real purchase orders. That's the Stocky gap, and it's exactly what Forstock fills.

Stocky migration

Questions, answered straight.

Stocky stops working entirely on August 31, 2026 — the app and all its APIs go offline. It was already removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, so you can no longer install or reinstall it. Inventory transfers and min/max forecasting were removed earlier, on July 7, 2025.

Before the August rush

Stocky's leaving. Land somewhere better.

Move before the August rush. Bring your suppliers, your history, and your peace of mind.
