Migrate from Stocky to Stockyard — Free Import in 10 Minutes

— every fact below read from Stockyard's own import screen and its live Shopify App Store listing on 14 August 2026

The short answer

Shopify is retiring Stocky — its built-in supplier, purchase-order, and reorder tool — on August 31, 2026. Export three CSVs from Stocky before that date, drop them into Stockyard, and your suppliers, purchase order history, and reorder settings come with you. The import takes about ten minutes; Stockyard detects each file on its own.

What Stocky's retirement actually means

Stocky has been the free purchasing and inventory-planning app bundled with Shopify for years — suppliers, purchase orders, and low-stock reordering, all in one place. When Shopify shuts it down on August 31, 2026, that data doesn't migrate anywhere automatically. It's simply gone: your supplier contact list, your purchase order history, and whatever reorder points you'd configured. Shopify does not carry any of it into a replacement app for you. If you use Stocky today and do nothing before the shutdown, you lose the record of who you buy from, what you've ordered, and when you're due to reorder — and you start over from a blank slate on whatever you pick next.

The fix is simple but has a deadline: export your data out of Stocky while it's still running, then import it somewhere that can read it.

The 10-minute migration

Stocky lets you export your own data as CSV files before the app disappears. You need three of them, and Stockyard's import screen is built to read them by name:

Suppliers — your supplier list, export it from Stocky.
Purchases → PO reports — your purchase order history.
Purchases → PO items reports — the line items on those purchase orders.

Stockyard's own import screen says it plainly: “Coming from Stocky? Its exports already match these formats — export Suppliers, Purchases → PO reports, and Purchases → PO items reports, and drop all three here.” You don't have to sort them or map any columns first. Drag all three CSVs into the drop zone in whatever order you have them, and Stockyard detects which file is which and imports suppliers, then purchase orders, then purchase order line items — the dependency order they need, regardless of how you dropped them.

That's the whole migration: export three files from Stocky, drop them into Stockyard, done. No CSV cleanup, no re-typing suppliers by hand, no rebuilding purchase order history from memory.

Why migrate before the deadline, not after

It's tempting to wait until Stocky is actually gone before doing anything about it, but the export only works while Stocky is still running. Once Shopify retires the app on August 31, 2026, there's no export screen left to open — the data doesn't sit in cold storage somewhere waiting for you, it's simply no longer reachable through Stocky. If you want your supplier list and purchase order history to survive the shutdown, the export has to happen before that date, not after it. Doing the ten-minute migration now, while Stocky is still live, is the only version of this that works.

What Stockyard does after migration

Stockyard isn't just a CSV parking lot — once your Stocky data is in, it replaces the reordering work Stocky used to do:

Reorder point alerts. Set a reorder point once per product; Stockyard emails you before it runs out.
Alert → draft purchase order, one click. A low-stock alert turns into a prefilled draft PO, ready to send to the supplier — you don't rebuild it from scratch.
Supplier records. Payment terms, lead times, and contacts stay attached to each supplier, carried over from your Stocky export.
Dead-stock report. Products that haven't sold in 60 days, and the cash they're tying up, surfaced automatically rather than something you have to go dig for.

Free trial available — run the import and see your Stocky data inside Stockyard before you're charged anything.

Frequently asked questions

When does Stocky actually shut down?

August 31, 2026. Shopify has confirmed Stocky, its built-in purchase-order and inventory-planning tool, is being retired on that date. After it's gone, your supplier list, purchase order history, and reorder settings are not recoverable from Shopify — you need to export them first.

What exactly do I export from Stocky?

Three CSV files: Suppliers, Purchases → PO reports, and Purchases → PO items reports. All three live inside Stocky's own export menu. Stockyard's import screen is built to read those exact files.

Do I need to map columns or clean up the CSVs first?

No. Drop the three Stocky exports into Stockyard's import screen in any order — it detects which file is which and imports suppliers, purchase orders, and purchase order line items in the dependency order they need (suppliers before purchase orders, purchase orders before line items).

What does Stockyard do that Stocky did?

Reorder point alerts by email before an item runs out, a prefilled draft purchase order created straight from that low-stock alert, supplier records with payment terms and lead times, and a dead-stock report showing what hasn't sold in 60 days and the cash it's tying up.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, a free trial is offered on install so you can run the import and see your data inside Stockyard before you're charged.

Do I need Shopify POS to use Stockyard?

No. Stockyard runs entirely from the Shopify admin — suppliers, purchase orders, reorder alerts, and the dead-stock report all work whether or not you use Shopify POS in a physical store.

What does Stockyard cost?

One plan, Standard, $14.99 a month, billed by Shopify, with a free trial included on install. Full pricing detail at stelardigital.com/stockyard.
