Migrating from Stocky: What Happens to Your Reporting

Stocky stopped working on August 31, 2026, and your read-only export window closes about 90 days later. The purchase orders have somewhere to go. Your stock reporting is the part you are now expected to build yourself.

Stocky is gone. Shopify delisted it from the App Store on February 2, 2026, and it stopped working as an inventory tool on August 31, 2026. Its APIs stopped on the same date, so any integration you had pointing at it is already dead. There is one clock still running, and it is the reason to read this today. Shopify gives you read-only access to export your Stocky data for at least 90 days after August 31. That window closes around the end of November 2026. After it does, your old purchase orders and stocktake history are not retrievable. What nobody tells you is that your reporting does not come across with you. That is the part this covers.

Leaving Stocky

We move your data across for you.

Book 30 minutes and we will pull your Stocky exports while the window is still open, then set your reporting up in OrbieAI.

The easy part

Purchase orders, transfers, stock adjustments, counting, and receiving in POS all sit in the Shopify admin now, included in what you already pay. So do not go shopping for an app to replace that half. That is the part of the migration with a clear answer. The rest of it does not have one.

What does not come with you

Read Shopify's migration guide closely and a pattern shows up. Whenever the question shifts from doing a task to understanding your stock, the answer is to build it yourself:

  • Checking what you ordered against what arrived: create a custom report, add five dimensions and two metrics, export to CSV, then multiply it out in a spreadsheet
  • Supplier lead times and minimum order quantities: define metafields per product, which are reference only, so staff still do the maths by hand
  • Weighted average costing and landed cost: use a third-party app
  • ABC analysis: depending on your plan, you might need an app

So the migration is not finished when your purchase orders work. You have traded a tool that came with stock analytics for a system where the analytics are a report you design.

Where OrbieAI comes in

This is the half we built for, the part the migration guide keeps telling you to assemble yourself. Instead of creating a custom report, picking dimensions, and exporting to a spreadsheet, you ask the question. What is running low, what has not sold in sixty days, what is my stock actually worth right now, how did last month compare. You get the answer with the chart behind it, and you can keep asking follow-ups rather than going back to rebuild the report. Alongside asking questions, the Inventory Agent comes with a reports library tied to your live store data, so these are there on day one with nothing to build:

  • Reorder Now: stockout and at-risk products, sorted by urgency
  • Dead Stock and Overstock: how much cash is tied up in inventory that is not moving
  • ABC Analysis: which products drive most of your revenue
  • Velocity Trends: products gaining or losing demand
  • Custom reports: our team builds the views you need, usually within a week of you asking
  • Custom integrations: connect other data sources so the answers are not limited to Shopify

Worth comparing that list against the migration guide. ABC analysis is the one Shopify says you might need an app for depending on your plan. Here it is a report you open. If what you need goes past reporting, custom agents and integrations get built around the workflow you already run, so bring the specific thing you do manually to the call and we will tell you straight whether it is in scope.

Your migration checklist

In order, with the urgent item first:

  • Export your completed purchase orders, stocktake history, and cost data from Stocky before the read-only window closes around the end of November 2026
  • Write your supplier list down manually, since it cannot be exported
  • Recreate any purchase order that was still open at cutover in Shopify, with only the remaining quantities
  • Remove the old Stocky Transfers tile from your POS Smart Grid
  • Run one test purchase order, one transfer, and one adjustment in Shopify before you trust it with a real delivery
  • Repoint any integration that used the Stocky API, which stopped working on August 31, 2026

The first two are the only steps with a deadline attached. Everything else you can fix later. Your Stocky history you cannot.
