How to export your data from Stocky (and what has no export)
Purchase orders and stocktakes leave Stocky as CSVs; suppliers do not leave at all. Exactly what to export before August 31, 2026, how to archive it, and how to rebuild the rest.

TL;DR
Three categories, three fates. Exportable from Stocky: purchase-order history and stocktakes, as manual CSV exports — do them now. Already safe in Shopify: stock levels, product data, inventory unit costs — nothing to do. No export exists: supplier records, lead times and Stocky settings — write them down by hand before August 31, 2026, because after that date the app and everything in it are gone.
Every Stocky exit — whatever replacement you pick — starts with the same extraction, and the deadline is absolute: Shopify has announced no read-only mode and no post-shutdown access. This guide is only about getting the data out safely; the migration checklist covers choosing and standing up what comes next.
Map your data before you export
| Data | Where it lives | Export path | Deadline pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase-order history | Stocky | Manual CSV export from the app | Hard — gone Aug 31 |
| Stocktake history | Stocky | Manual export from the app | Hard — gone Aug 31 |
| Supplier records | Stocky | None — hand transcription only | Hard — gone Aug 31 |
| Lead times & terms | Stocky (and your inbox) | None — write them down | Hard |
| Stock levels | Shopify | Nothing to do | None |
| Products & variants | Shopify | Nothing to do | None |
| Inventory unit costs | Shopify | Nothing to do (verify coverage) | Soft — worth auditing |
Step by step
- 01
Export purchase orders to CSV
In Stocky's purchase-order section, run the export across all statuses and the full date range — one file, not per-supplier slices. This CSV is your cost and quantity audit trail; its job is archival, not import.
- 02
Export stocktake history
Same operation for stocktakes. If your accountant relies on periodic count records, this export is the only copy that will exist in September.
- 03
Transcribe suppliers by hand — the step everyone regrets skipping
For each supplier, record: name, ordering email, address, payment terms, typical lead time (check your last 3 POs: order date → goods on shelf), and which products they supply. A plain spreadsheet is fine; 15 minutes per supplier.
- 04
Screenshot your Stocky settings
Reorder parameters, locations, preferences — none of it exports, and you will want the reference when configuring the replacement. Screenshots beat memory.
- 05
Audit unit costs in Shopify
Stocky read purchase costs from Shopify's inventory unit cost — so does every replacement. Spot-check your top 50 SKUs; fill gaps in Shopify itself, not in any app's private settings.
- 06
Archive everything in one dated folder
stocky-export-2026-07/ with the CSVs, the supplier sheet and the screenshots — in your normal backup location. Future-you (or an auditor) should find it without asking what Stocky was.
What the exports are actually for
- The PO CSV — accounting evidence and supplier history (what you paid, when, to whom). Few tools import it; its value is the paper trail.
- The stocktake export — shrinkage and audit records. Purely archival.
- The supplier sheet — the only operationally live artifact: it becomes the setup data of your replacement, and lead times are the input that makes any reorder suggestion accurate.
Doing this with Solvi Restock
Solvi Restock needs none of the archival exports: it computes the reorder list from your Shopify sales and stock directly, so the app is useful minutes after install. The supplier sheet is the bridge — enter each supplier with its lead time (or import costs and lead times from CSV on Starter), and the suggestions calibrate to how your suppliers actually ship. The free plan covers a full test cycle while Stocky is still around to compare against.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export suppliers from Stocky?
No — Stocky has never had a supplier export, and none is coming (the app was delisted in February 2026 and shuts down August 31, 2026). Manual transcription into a spreadsheet is the only way to keep supplier names, contacts, terms and lead times.
Will my stock levels disappear with Stocky?
No. Stock levels, products, variants and inventory unit costs live in Shopify itself, not in Stocky — the shutdown does not touch them. What disappears is Stocky's own layer: purchase orders, stocktakes, suppliers and settings.
Can I still access Stocky data after August 31, 2026?
Assume no. Shopify has announced a full shutdown with no read-only period, and the app is already gone from the App Store. Anything not exported or transcribed by the deadline should be considered permanently lost.
Which replacement apps can import Stocky's CSV exports?
Import support is rare and mostly pointless: the PO history is an archive, not operating data. What replacements actually need is suppliers, lead times and costs — suppliers you re-enter by hand everywhere (no export exists), and costs live in Shopify already. Solvi Restock additionally imports costs and lead times from CSV if you keep them in a sheet.
