Stocky Has Shut Down: How to Export Your Data in the Read-Only Window

Stocky shut down on August 31, 2026: the app stopped working entirely, API included. It had already been delisted from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, so this was the second and final cutoff in Stocky's shutdown timeline. Per Shopify's own migration guide, read-only access continues for at least 90 days after shutdown so merchants can get their data out. That puts the window at roughly late November 2026. That's a stated minimum on Shopify's side, not a guarantee, and we can't confirm it hasn't changed since we last checked: verify the current date on Shopify's live migration guide before you rely on it.

So you're not too late: but you are on a real, closing clock, and the app itself can no longer create or edit anything. What's left is read access for the purpose of getting your records out, not a working Stocky.

This guide covers what you can still capture during that window: supplier records (which Stocky never let you export, even before shutdown: you'll need to document these manually), product-to-supplier assignments, open purchase orders, stock counts, and sales history: each with real caveats Stocky doesn't warn you about. We also cover what's already gone and cannot be recovered.

This post expands on Shopify's official migration guidance with the practical order to do things in and the gotchas it doesn't spell out.

What You Can Still Export from Stocky

Stocky shut down on August 31, 2026. What remains is Shopify's read-only export window: stated by Shopify's migration guide to last at least 90 days after shutdown, putting the cutoff at roughly late November 2026 (check the live page; we can't confirm that date hasn't moved). Inside that window you can view and export existing records, but you can no longer create, edit, or generate anything the app didn't already have before shutdown. Here is what you can actually still pull, and what's already gone:

One honest caveat before you start: Shopify's guide confirms read-only access exists for exporting data, but we have not been able to independently verify that every specific screen, menu, or button named below looks identical in the read-only interface to how it looked before shutdown. If a path in this guide isn't where we say it is, that's the read-only interface differing from the live app: try the equivalent screen nearby, or fall back to Shopify's own migration guide.

Important: Stocky does not provide a single "Export All" button. You must handle each data type separately: and, as you'll see below, one of them can't be exported at all.

Step 1: Document Your Suppliers (Stocky Can't Export Them)

Shopify confirms there is no supplier export from Stocky, not as CSV, not in any other format. Your supplier list has to be captured manually, now, while Shopify's read-only window is still open:

1. Log in to Stocky from your Shopify admin and open Suppliers.
2. Go through each supplier record and write down its name, contact, email, address, and terms: a screenshot per supplier, or rekeyed into a spreadsheet, both work.
3. Save the spreadsheet (or screenshots) to a folder named Stocky-Backup-[Today's Date].

Don't be fooled by the "Supplier reports" performance report. Stocky's reporting area has a separate report (things like low-stock-by-vendor) that's exportable as CSV, but it is not a supplier master list or contact-list export. It won't give you emails, addresses, or terms. Don't rely on it to reconstruct your supplier records; it's a performance report, not a backup.

Step 2: Export Product-to-Supplier Assignments

1. In Stocky, go to Reports.
2. Open the Products report.
3. Export it as CSV.
4. Save to the same backup folder.

What to check: This CSV should tell you which variant is supplied by which vendor. If you have 500 SKUs and 20 suppliers, this file is what prevents you from re-linking everything by hand: but verify the Supplier column is actually populated. Assignment data in this report can be inconsistent, so don't assume it's complete just because the export ran successfully.

If assignments are missing: Some merchants never set these up in Stocky, and some assignments simply don't show up in the export even when they exist. If your CSV has blank supplier columns, you will need to map suppliers manually in your new tool. Do this now, while the read-only export window is still open.

Step 3: Export Open Purchase Orders

There's no single filtered bulk-export button for POs. You have two options, and most stores will want both:

1. Download individual POs. In Stocky, go to Purchases, open each PO you care about, and use Download → CSV. Slower, but exact.
2. Use the Purchase Orders report. In Stocky, go to Reports → Purchase Orders. This report shows status, delivery, and payment fields, and can be filtered (for example, to open or partially received orders) before you export it as CSV.

What to check: Verify that PO numbers, supplier names, product variants, quantities ordered, quantities received, and status are all present. A partially received PO should show both the ordered quantity and the received quantity.

Why this matters: If you switch to a new app mid-PO, you need to know what is still in transit. Losing this data means guessing what you are waiting for.

One-way trip: however you export them, historical POs cannot be re-imported into Shopify's native inventory once they're out of Stocky. Treat this export as your record for reference, not as data you'll feed back into Shopify itself.

Step 4: Export Stock Count History (Optional but Recommended)

1. In Stocky, go to Stocktakes.
2. Click Export.
3. Save the CSV.

What to check: Count dates, counted quantities, expected quantities, and variance values. This history is useful for auditing and for setting reorder points in your new tool.

Important caveat: Stocky does not save historical inventory data. The CSV you download is only a point-in-time snapshot of whatever it shows at the moment you export it. Export during or immediately after each stocktake, not weeks later, or the numbers you capture won't reflect the count you actually did.

Step 5: Export Sales History (Stocky and Shopify)

Stocky does have exportable sales reports: Best Sellers, Sale Items (sales by product/variant), ABC Analysis, SKU/Variant, and Statistics, available as CSV or PDF. Export the ones relevant to your store from Stocky → Reports.

1. In Stocky, go to Reports and export Sale Items (and Best Sellers or ABC Analysis if useful to you) as CSV.
2. Then cross-check against Shopify Admin → Analytics → Reports, running Sales by product for the last 12 months.
3. Export the Shopify report as CSV too.
4. Also run Sales by product variant in Shopify if your new tool forecasts at the variant level.

Save both sets in your backup folder. Shopify's Analytics reports are where this data permanently lives now that Stocky is gone, and it's what most Stocky replacements (including StockCue) pull automatically on install, but a local copy of both is cheap insurance.

What Stocky Does NOT Let You Export

Do not panic about missing data. The critical items (supplier records, product-supplier assignments, and open POs), are what you need to keep operating, and all three are covered above (even though suppliers means documenting rather than exporting). Everything else is rebuildable.

What to Do With These Files

1. Store them in two places: Your computer + cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox).
2. Name them clearly: Stocky-Suppliers-2026-07-26.csv, not export(1).csv.
3. Do not edit the CSVs. Keep the originals. Make copies if you need to clean data.
4. Open them in a spreadsheet to verify they look correct as soon as you export them: don't wait, in case you need to re-export something before the read-only window closes.

Migrating to a New Tool

Once you have your exports, you need a Stocky replacement, and it saves time to settle what a Stocky replacement has to do before you start comparing apps. Most merchants are looking for:

• Reorder alerts based on sales velocity
• Purchase order creation + PDF export
• Receiving against POs
• Stock counts
• One-click import of the data you just exported

We built StockCue for this exact migration. Upload the files you just exported and StockCue brings across the suppliers Stocky never let you export from its UI, plus product assignments and open POs, auto-detecting Stocky's column names and previewing every row before it writes. Suppliers and assignments import free on every plan; open purchase orders need Starter, from $19/mo. The Free plan covers your first 50 SKUs, so you can migrate your supplier data and see StockCue running on it before paying anything.

Not ready to switch? That is fine. Export your data now, decide later. The export takes 15 minutes. Losing your data takes years to recover from.
