What Happens to Your Stocky Data After the Shutdown?

When did Stocky shut down?

Stocky shut down on August 31, 2026. The app and its API stopped working that day, so the API JSON export is gone. Shopify keeps Stocky open read-only for at least 90 days after the shutdown, so until about November 29, 2026 you can still open it and export its reports as CSV. Once read-only access ends, the data can't be retrieved, so treat that date as the hard wall now.

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 when read-only access ends (about November 29, 2026) is gone. The safe move is to export your purchase orders, stocktakes, and cost data 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's purchase orders can't take in Stocky's 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, export them from Stocky while it is read-only and import them into an app that takes a purchase order with its status and received quantities, such as EZStock.

Costs need care after the move too. Stocky worked out an average unit cost on each receipt, and Shopify's cost per item doesn't average by itself. Our guide to weighted average cost in Shopify shows the formula Stocky used and how to keep cost per item right.

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

You can recover most of it by exporting Stocky's reports while it is read-only: completed purchase orders, stocktake history, and historical cost data. Suppliers can't be exported, but each purchase order carries its supplier's name, so a tool can rebuild the supplier list from those. 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. Copy those into a spreadsheet by hand while you can still open Stocky.

Should I use the Stocky CSV or the API export?

The API is gone: it stopped working on August 31, 2026, so the CSV reports are the only export left. If you saved the API JSON before then, use it. It carries two fields the CSV leaves out: the per-line supplier cost actually paid on each PO (supplier_cost_price) and the real per-line receipt date (received_at), which matter for an accurate cost trail and true supplier lead times. If you didn't save it, the CSV is fine for most stores.

How do I keep my Stocky data now?

Export your completed purchase orders, stocktake history, and cost data from Stocky's reports while it is read-only, then run each file through the free Stocky Export Converter. It turns the raw exports into clean, import-ready files: a Shopify-native cost-per-item CSV, 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.
