How to export your Stocky data before it's gone
When Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026, the data inside it goes with it — and the supplier and lead-time detail you've built up is the hardest part to recreate. Here's what to save, how to get it out, and how to bring it into a new tool. It takes about twenty minutes, and it's worth doing early.
Why export now
There's a hard cutoff: once Stocky closes, you can't open it or pull anything out. Current stock levels live safely in Shopify, but the planning detail — who supplies what, how long they take, what you paid, and what you ordered — lives in Stocky. Recreating that from memory is painful. Spend twenty minutes now and you'll never have to.
What's worth saving
Prioritize the things that are hard to rebuild:
- Suppliers & contacts — names, emails, and any notes per vendor.
- Lead times — how long each supplier takes; this drives every reorder decision.
- Purchase orders — open and historical POs, plus received quantities.
- Costs & order rules — unit costs, minimum order quantities (MOQ), case/pack sizes.
- Stock-adjustment history — counts and corrections you may want for reference.
You can skip current inventory levels — those already live in Shopify and your new tool will read them directly.
Step by step
- Open Stocky from your Shopify admin (Apps → Stocky) while it's still available.
- Export each section you want to keep. Work through Suppliers, Purchase Orders, Stocktakes, and the inventory/valuation reports, using each section's export to download a CSV. (Stocky's exact menus vary by version, but each list has an export or download option.)
- Save the files somewhere you control — a dated folder in Google Drive or Dropbox. Label them clearly, e.g. stocky-suppliers-2026-06.csv.
- Do a quick sanity check. Open each CSV and confirm the important columns came through — supplier names, lead times, emails, costs.
Bringing it into a new tool
Once your CSVs are safe, importing is the easy part — if your new tool is built for it. With Restock the flow is:
- Seed from Shopify vendors — one click rebuilds your supplier list from your products. No upload needed to start.
- Upload your Stocky export — the importer recognizes common Stocky column names (Supplier, Vendor, Email, Lead time, MOQ, Case size and more), so you don't rename anything.
- Match, don't duplicate — suppliers you already have are enriched in place by name, and a preview shows exactly what will change before you commit.
From there you set reorder points, turn on alerts, and you're running — usually the same day. And because you can export everything back out anytime, you're never locked in again.
Questions, answered
Can I still export after Stocky shuts down?
No — once it closes on August 31, 2026, the data goes with it. Export before then.
Do I have to rebuild suppliers by hand?
No. Your Shopify product vendors form a supplier list a replacement can rebuild automatically; your Stocky export fills in the details.
What format is the export?
CSV, which any modern tool reads. Restock's importer maps common Stocky columns for you.
