Stocky alternative

Stocky is going. Here is exactly what Replenora replaces — and what it doesn't.

Most comparison pages only list what they do well. This one lists the gaps too, because finding out in week two is worse than finding out now. If Replenora is the wrong fit for your workflow, the table below will tell you before you install it.

Stocky is unavailable after 31 August 2026 — and it can no longer be reinstalled

Feature by feature

Stocky's capability on the left, as documented by Shopify. What Replenora does about it on the right.

Pro-only capabilities are marked. Everything else is on the free Starter plan.
What Stocky didReplenoraDetail
Create and manage purchase orders Yes Suppliers carry their own lead time, currency and default tax rate. Pack size is a per-line field, so you order in cases rather than units.
Receive stock against a PO Yes Partial receipts supported: receive 60 of 100 and the remaining 40 stay outstanding on the order and keep showing as incoming. Full audit trail of who received what, and when.
Incoming stock visible before it lands Yes Written to Shopify as incoming when the PO is sent, and cleared on receipt or cancellation.
Reorder suggestions — what to buy next Yes Pro Reads your last 60 days of orders and turns it into velocity, days of cover and a reorder point per product, using each supplier's own lead time. Drafts a purchase order per supplier from the suggestions in one click.
Forecasting inventory needs Yes Pro Same engine as above. Expressed as days of cover rather than a unit threshold, because "14 days left" is actionable by anyone in the business.
Supplier and vendor management Yes Lead time, currency and default tax rate held per supplier, so a several-hundred-line PO does not mean typing a tax rate several hundred times.
Landed costs — freight, duty, fees Yes Pro Entered once at the top of the order and allocated across the lines by value, then written back to the product's cost in Shopify. If your catalogue mixes heavy cheap items with light expensive ones, check the resulting cost per item suits you — value-based allocation is not right for every catalogue.
Emailing a PO to a supplier Yes Pro Sent as a branded PDF, or downloaded. Native Shopify purchase orders cannot do this at all.
Getting your data in and out Yes CSV import and export on every plan, including the free one. The importer shows a dry run before anything is written, so a column-mapping mistake is a five-minute fix rather than an evening.
Inventory counts and stocktakes No Replenora does not do counts. Shopify's native inventory counts cover part of this.
Barcode counting and label printing No Not supported. If you run a high-volume scan-based receiving line, this is the wrong tool for that part of your day — see below.
Inventory transfers between locations No Shopify's native transfers still handle location-to-location movement.
Vendor notes and historical cost movement Not imported Suppliers and purchase orders import cleanly from CSV — though note Stocky itself cannot export suppliers, so that list has to be retyped once whatever you move to. Free-text vendor notes and the cost trail over time do not import at all: see the migration note below, because this is the part you cannot rebuild.
Multi-warehouse replenishment planning No Reorder points are calculated per product, not split across warehouses.

Who should not use Replenora

Worth being direct about, because the wrong install wastes your August.

  • High-volume scan-based receiving. If you receive hundreds of SKUs a week by scanning a barcode and editing cost, retail price and margin on one row, you need a receiving terminal. Replenora is a purchasing tool — it is designed for the desk, not the loading bay.
  • Stocktakes as the main job. If counting is what you used Stocky for most, the purchasing features will not fill that gap.
  • Multi-warehouse allocation. If your reorder decisions depend on splitting stock across several warehouses, this is not built for that.
Everything else in the table is a genuine replacement. The honest summary: Replenora rebuilds the purchasing and reordering half of Stocky properly, and does not attempt the counting and warehouse half at all.

Before 31 August, do this one thing

Regardless of what you move to — including if you move to nothing.

Write your supplier list down somewhere outside Stocky. Shopify is explicit about this one: “Suppliers can’t be exported from Stocky.” No CSV, no report, no API. Of everything in your account, the supplier records are the one thing that leaves only by hand.

The saving grace is that you only have to type them once — if you type them into the right place. Put them in a spreadsheet, not into an app. A spreadsheet loads into whatever you settle on in September; Replenora imports suppliers from CSV with a dry run first, and so do several of the alternatives. Type them straight into an app and you will be doing it again the next time you change your mind.

Then run Stocky’s own reports and keep the CSVs: completed purchase orders, stocktake history, historical cost data. Two things about that are worth knowing before you plan around them:

Two more things deserve pulling out separately, because no importer we are aware of handles them:
