Stocky shut down Aug 31, 2026
Stocky alternative & replacement

The Stocky alternative built for planning, not just admin.

Shopify shut Stocky down on August 31, 2026. Forstock picks up exactly where it left 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.

What happened, when

The Stocky shutdown, by date.

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 once uninstalled it couldn't be reinstalled.

Aug 31, 2026

Full shutdown

Stocky stopped working and its APIs went dark. Shopify says exports stay available, read-only, for at least 90 days after that date.

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, transfers, counts and purchase orders, and it does that well. What it doesn't do is planning: per-SKU forecasts, reorder quantities that account for lead time and MOQ, and the PO workflow built around them. That's the Stocky gap, and it's exactly what Forstock fills.

The clean exit

Stocky migration

Questions, answered straight.

Stocky stopped working on August 31, 2026 — the app and all its APIs went offline. It had already been removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, so it can't be installed or reinstalled. Inventory transfers and min/max forecasting were removed earlier, on July 7, 2025. Shopify says you keep read-only access to export your data for at least 90 days after the shutdown.

After the shutdown

Stocky's gone. Land somewhere better.

Bring your suppliers, your history, and your peace of mind.
