Stocky is closing. Here's the map.
On August 31, 2026 Stocky takes your forecasting, supplier records, reorder points and purchase-order history with it, and Shopify's native tools replace only part of that. Every feature below is mapped to where it lives next.

The parity map
Every Stocky capability, and exactly what happens to it, including the two things we deliberately don't do.
| Stocky feature | Status | How it works now |
|---|---|---|
| Demand forecasting | ✓ Improved | One automatic model instead of Stocky's manual method picks: out-of-stock days excluded, promo spikes neutralized, weekly seasonality on Growth/Pro. No tuning. |
| Reorder suggestions | ✓ In RestockIQ | Reorder point = sales rate x your supplier's lead time + safety stock. Suggested quantities restock to your target level, respect MOQs and round up to case/pack sizes. |
| Low-stock alerts | ✓ In RestockIQ | Daily or weekly email digest of projected stockouts, plus a dashboard and a stockout-risk report. |
| Purchase orders | ✓ In RestockIQ | Draft → sent → received, sequential numbering, payment terms, per-line discounts. Landed costs, invoice reconciliation and GRN export on Growth+. |
| PO from forecast | ✓ In RestockIQ | One click: lines prefilled with suggested quantities and last costs. |
| Receiving - full & partial | ✓ In RestockIQ | Per-line quantities, safe to retry (never double-adjusts stock), remainder stays on order. |
| Email PO to supplier (with PDF) | ✓ In RestockIQ | PDF attached, optional logo, per-supplier email. |
| Suppliers | ✓ In RestockIQ | Lead times, order minimums, notes, linked SKUs and POs. Per-SKU price lists with MOQs, pack sizes and quantity tiers on Growth+. |
| Vendor → supplier mapping | ✓ In RestockIQ | Fuzzy-matched proposal on import; review and apply. |
| Reports (ABC, low stock, analytics, best sellers) | ✓ In RestockIQ | Plus inventory value, dead stock and sell-through, all filterable and exportable to CSV. |
| Multi-location | ✓ In RestockIQ | Forecasts, inventory, POs and reports are per-location throughout. |
| Stocktakes / inventory counts | ✓ In RestockIQ | Count sessions per location, variance review, safe adjustments. On every plan. |
| Barcode scanning (receive & count) | ✓ In RestockIQ | USB wedge scanners and phone-camera scanning, by barcode or SKU. |
| Bundles / kits | ✓ In RestockIQ | Bundle sales explode into component demand at forecast time (Growth+). |
| Min/max stock levels | ✓ In RestockIQ | Per-location min/max; max is the restock target. (Stocky dropped min/max forecasting in 2025.) |
| Stocky data import | ✓ Improved | Two paths: direct from Stocky's API (until Aug 31 — one key, and it pulls suppliers, full PO history, plus the per-delivery received dates and true supplier costs that exist in no CSV export), or from the CSV exports (suppliers via paste, product costs/min/max, PO history, stocktake archive). Everything is safe to re-run, and every import ends with a line-by-line completeness report, so you see exactly what came over and what was skipped (imports failing silently at the migration moment is the #1 horror story with migration tools). |
| Stock transfers | Shopify native | Removed from Stocky back in 2025; Shopify Admin's native Transfers replaced it. We don't duplicate what native does well. |
| Barcode label printing | Not planned | POS-centric; out of scope for a planning app. |
| POS Pro integration | Not planned | RestockIQ is planning-first: forecast → reorder → PO → receive. |
Export these from Stocky before August 31
Shopify does not migrate Stocky data anywhere. Per Shopify's help docs, read-only CSV export stays available for roughly 90 days after shutdown — but Stocky's API (the only source of per-delivery received dates and true supplier costs) switches off with the app on August 31. These four exports take about ten minutes and preserve everything RestockIQ can carry forward.
Purchase orders - your full history
Export the PO history CSV from Stocky. RestockIQ imports it as closed POs, so supplier spend and PO reports keep their history.
Products - costs, min/max, supplier links
Export the products CSV; it's matched back to your catalog by SKU on import.
Suppliers - copy the table
Stocky has no supplier export. Copy the supplier table straight off the Stocky screen and paste it in; names, emails and lead times are detected automatically.
Stocktake & adjustment history
Import the archive; it becomes a read-only report so audits keep working after Stocky is gone.
