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.
Free concierge migration for the first cohort — we import your data.
The clock is already running. Here's the timeline.
Features removed
Stocky stopped supporting inventory transfers between locations and min/max forecasting.
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.
Full shutdown
Stocky stops working entirely. The app and all its APIs go dark. Anything you haven't moved is gone.
Everything Stocky did, Forstock picks up.
Forecasts every SKU months ahead, and corrects for sales lost during past stockouts so you plan on true demand — not an inventory-capped average.
Tells you exactly what to buy and when, factoring lead time, safety stock, MOQ, and pack size — with the math shown for every quantity.
Create, split, and receive POs grouped by supplier, then sync received stock straight back to Shopify.
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.)
Plan vs. actual vs. last year by month, ABC-style stock grading, cover days, and at-risk flags — in units or revenue.
One live source of truth across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart and more — not just one store.
“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.

Questions, answered straight.
When is Stocky shutting down?+
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.
Can I export my data from Stocky?+
Mostly yes — you can export historical purchase orders and inventory/sales reports from within Stocky while it still works. The big exception is supplier data: Stocky has no supplier export. You'll need to record your vendors, lead times, and MOQs manually before the shutdown, which is exactly what our free Supplier Export Template is for.
Why can't I export suppliers from Stocky?+
Stocky simply doesn't offer a supplier export. The vendor relationships, lead times, and minimum order quantities you've built up over time aren't included in any export file — so if you don't capture them before August 31, 2026, they're gone. Our template gives you a structured place to record them once and import them into Forstock.
Is Forstock a good replacement for Stocky?+
Forstock covers the parts of Stocky merchants relied on most — demand forecasting, reorder suggestions, purchase orders, and supplier settings — and adds true (stockout-adjusted) demand, multichannel support across Shopify, Amazon and Walmart, and visible math behind every recommendation. It's built for the planning decisions Stocky users will miss, not just stock tracking.
Isn't Shopify Admin enough to replace Stocky?+
Shopify Admin is great at operations — tracking stock levels and locations — but it doesn't forecast demand, suggest reorder quantities, or do real purchase-order planning. Admin tells you what happened; Forstock tells you what to buy and when. Most brands that leaned on Stocky for planning will need a dedicated tool.
How long does it take to migrate from Stocky to Forstock?+
Most stores are up and running in a day or two: export your Stocky data, capture suppliers with our template, connect Shopify, and import. For the first cohort of switchers we're offering to import your data for you, free — so the heavy lifting is on us.
Does Forstock sync with Shopify?+
Yes. Forstock connects to your live Shopify sales and stock, and received purchase orders sync stock back into Shopify. It also unifies Amazon, Walmart and other channels into one view, so you plan against total demand rather than a single store.
Stocky's leaving. Land somewhere better.
Move before the August rush. Bring your suppliers, your history, and your peace of mind.
