What happens to my Stocky data when it shuts down?

Your Stocky data — purchase orders, suppliers, landed costs, and stocktakes — lives inside Stocky, not as Shopify records. When Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026, that data goes with it and can't be recovered. Current stock levels remain in Shopify, but your purchase-order history, supplier records, and cost basis are lost unless you export them first.

Is my current stock in danger when Stocky shuts down?

No. Your current stock quantities are stored in Shopify itself, not in Stocky, so they stay after Stocky is gone. What you lose is the operational history around that stock — purchase orders, suppliers, and costs — which only exists inside Stocky.

What Happens to Your Stocky Data When It Shuts Down (Aug 31, 2026)?

Q: When does Stocky shut down?

Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026. Both the app and its API stop working on that date. Any export you need — CSV or the API JSON — must be completed before then, because after the shutdown the data can't be retrieved.

Q: Will I lose my Stocky data automatically?

Yes, unless you export it. Stocky's data does not migrate into Shopify on its own. Anything you don't export before August 31, 2026 is gone. The safe move is to export your purchase orders, suppliers, stocktakes, and cost list now and store the files somewhere you control.

Q: Does my Stocky purchase-order history transfer to Shopify?

No, not automatically, and not through Shopify's native import. Shopify has no built-in record for purchase-order history — its PO CSV upload only creates a new draft with line items and drops the status, received quantities, supplier links, and costs. To keep that history you must export it from Stocky, convert it, and import it into an inventory app that stores purchase orders.

Q: What Stocky data can I still recover, and what is lost forever?

You can recover purchase orders, per-line costs, received dates, suppliers, stocktakes, and SKU cost lists by exporting them before August 31, 2026 — the Stocky API JSON gives the most complete result. Two things aren't in any Stocky export and can't be recovered by any tool: free-text supplier notes and par or reorder-point settings. Copy those by hand before the deadline.

Q: Should I use the Stocky CSV or the API export?

Use the API JSON if you can pull it. The CSV export leaves out the per-line supplier cost actually paid (supplier_cost_price) and the real per-line receipt date (received_at), which live only in Stocky's API. Those fields matter for an accurate cost trail and true supplier lead times. The CSV still works and is fine for most stores; the API JSON is simply the more complete source.

What happens to your Stocky data: Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026, and its data (purchase orders, suppliers, costs, and stocktakes) lives inside Stocky, not as Shopify records. On that date it goes with the app and can't be recovered. Your current stock levels stay in Shopify, but the purchase-order history, supplier records, and cost basis are lost unless you export them first.

Key takeaways

Deadline: August 31, 2026. The app and its API both stop working.
Current stock stays in Shopify; PO history, suppliers, and costs do not.
Nothing migrates automatically, so un-exported data is gone for good.
Shopify's native import can't restore a past purchase order.
Supplier notes and reorder points aren't in any export, so copy them by hand.

When does Stocky shut down?

Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026. Both the app and its API stop working on that date. Any export you need, the CSV or the API JSON, has to be completed before then, because once the shutdown happens the data can't be retrieved. There's no grace period for pulling data out afterward, so treat that date as a hard wall.

Will I lose my Stocky data automatically?

Yes, unless you export it first. Stocky's data does not migrate into Shopify on its own. It isn't quietly copied into your Shopify admin, and it isn't held in a backup you can request later. Whatever you haven't exported by August 31, 2026 is gone. The safe move is to export your purchase orders, suppliers, stocktakes, and cost list now and keep the files somewhere you control.

Is my current stock in danger?

No. Your current on-hand quantities are stored in Shopify itself, not inside Stocky, so they remain after Stocky is gone. What disappears is the operational history around that stock: the purchase orders you placed, the costs you paid, and the suppliers you built relationships with. Those records only exist in Stocky, which is exactly why they need exporting.

Does my purchase-order history transfer to Shopify?

No — not automatically, and not through Shopify's native import. Shopify has no built-in record for purchase-order history. Its PO CSV upload only creates a new draft with line items and drops the status, received quantities, supplier links, and costs. So even if you re-upload your Stocky POs to Shopify directly, you get empty draft shells, not the history. To keep the real records you have to export from Stocky, convert them, and import them into an app that actually stores purchase orders.

Your Stocky data	After Aug 31 if you did nothing
Current stock levels	Safe (stored in Shopify)
Purchase-order history	Lost
Suppliers & lead times	Lost
Landed costs / cost basis	Lost
Stocktake records	Lost

What can I still recover, and what's lost forever?

You can recover the vast majority of it by exporting before the deadline: purchase orders, per-line costs, received dates, suppliers, stocktakes, and SKU cost lists all come through, and the Stocky API JSON gives the most complete result. Two things aren't in any Stocky export at all, so no tool can pull them: free-text supplier notes and par / reorder-point settings. Those you have to copy into a spreadsheet by hand before August 31, 2026.

Should I use the Stocky CSV or the API export?

Use the API JSON if you can pull it. The CSV export is easier to get, but it leaves out two fields that live only in Stocky's API: the per-line supplier cost actually paid on each PO (supplier_cost_price) and the real per-line receipt date (received_at). Those matter for an accurate cost trail and true supplier lead times. The CSV path still works and is fine for most stores; the JSON is simply the fuller source. Whichever you use, export it before the API goes dark on the same August 31 date.

How do I keep my Stocky data before the shutdown?

Export your purchase orders, suppliers, stocktakes, and cost list from Stocky, then run each file through the free Stocky Export Converter. It turns the raw exports into clean, import-ready files: a Shopify-native CSV where Shopify supports it, and an EZStock-ready file that preserves PO status, received quantities, costs, and suppliers. It runs entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and rows Excel mangled are listed for you rather than silently dropped.

Do this before you uninstall Stocky. Once the app is gone, or the August 31 date passes, the export path disappears with it, and there's no getting the data back. Export and convert everything while Stocky still works, then keep the files.

Save your Stocky data now — it's free

Drop your Stocky exports into the free converter and get clean, import-ready files before August 31. You get a Shopify CSV plus an EZStock-ready file that keeps your full PO history. No signup, runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

After you've converted your files, the natural next step is choosing where the history lives. Shopify's built-in inventory holds stock levels but not purchase orders, suppliers, or costs, so you'll want a dedicated app for those. EZStock imports the converted history in one go, and the Stocky to Shopify migration guide walks the full export-convert-import path.
