Which parts of your former Stocky workflow need a new home?
Shopify ended inventory management in Stocky on 31 August 2026. Its transition guide describes read-only export access for at least 90 days afterward and the native Shopify inventory workflows available to merchants.
Shopify Stocky: official product source. Product availability, features and plans can change. Confirm current terms with the vendor before switching.
Consider ReOrder when
The buying decision is your priority
You need to rebuild the forecasting, supplier-policy and replenishment decision process for one Shopify store, with a buying budget and a reviewable calculation.
You want to see the demand, stock, lead-time and supplier inputs, then approve, change or defer the recommendation yourself.
Preserve the operational workflow
Check the wider requirements
- Existing historical records during Shopify's stated export-access period
- Shopify's native inventory workflows provide a transition path for operational tasks
ReOrder is not a complete Stocky clone. It does not provide barcode stocktakes, inventory transfers or Shopify inventory write-back. Check Shopify's native workflows or an operations app for those needs.

Rebuild the buying process after Stocky
A retailer previously used Stocky for purchasing and stocktakes. The buyer now needs a weekly supplier order that stays within a cash limit.
Separate stock counts and transfers from replenishment decisions. Reconcile stock in Shopify, record supplier policies in ReOrder, and review a buy plan before preparing local purchase-order drafts. Preserve historical records through the export options Shopify still makes available; suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky according to Shopify's guide.
Illustrative calculation, not a customer result
Why does a requirement of 46 become an order of 48?
- Demand over the planning window
- 63 units
- Safety-stock allowance
- +12 units
- Available, usable inventory
- −29 units
- Unrounded requirement
- 46 units
- Supplier case pack
- 12 units
- Rounded quantity to review
- 48 units
At an illustrative unit cost of US$10, this line requires US$480. Funding, other supplier rules and the merchant's review still determine the next action. No order is sent automatically.
Understand supplier rules and roundingWhat a ReOrder trial should prove
- Price
- US$49 per store per month after a 14-day guided trial
- Store scope
- One Shopify store, up to 3,000 variants
- Data coverage
- Up to 1,000 recent orders; incomplete imports are flagged
- Locations
- Inventory aggregated across returned Shopify locations
- Purchasing
- Local drafts and CSV export; no automatic supplier sending
- Shopify inventory
- Read-only planning; no inventory write-back
Start with representative products, including a shortage, a supplier pack constraint and a line you cannot fund. Check that the explanation, quantities and deferred decisions match the way you buy.
Review forecast methods and data limits, cash-aware planning and the purchase-order workflow. Sample calculations are illustrative, not customer performance evidence.
Prepare for a change of planning tool
- List the workflows you use today, including receiving, transfers, accounting and supplier communication. Decide which system will handle each.
- Retain accessible historical records and reconcile open orders, remaining quantities and expected arrival dates. No automatic competitor importer is included in ReOrder.
- Confirm Shopify stock, costs and supplier assumptions before reviewing recommendations. Check import-cap and data-quality warnings.
- Review the first plan alongside your existing process. Avoid duplicate orders and double-counted inbound stock during any overlap.
Questions about Stocky alternatives
Can ReOrder automatically import my Stocky history?
No automatic Stocky migration is included. Keep the historical records you need, review open orders and re-enter supplier assumptions. Do not treat a local ReOrder draft as an imported historical Stocky purchase order.
Is Stocky completely inaccessible?
Shopify says inventory management and Stocky APIs ended on 31 August 2026, with read-only access to export data for at least 90 days afterward. Refer to Shopify's current transition guide for access details.
When is ReOrder an appropriate alternative to Stocky?
You need to rebuild the forecasting, supplier-policy and replenishment decision process for one Shopify store, with a buying budget and a reviewable calculation. ReOrder is not a complete Stocky clone. It does not provide barcode stocktakes, inventory transfers or Shopify inventory write-back. Check Shopify's native workflows or an operations app for those needs.
Will ReOrder change my Shopify inventory?
No. Current planning reads Shopify inputs. Local draft and receipt records do not update Shopify inventory, create native Shopify purchase orders or send suppliers a message.
How do I start the guided trial?
Request access with your store details. We review fit and arrange installation through Shopify. Submitting the request does not begin billing or activate a trial.
Make the next buying decision with evidence
Bring one store, your supplier rules and a realistic buying budget. Evaluate the plan before making a purchasing commitment.
