Shopify's Stocky closes 31 August. Copy your suppliers by hand.

If you run a Shopify store on POS Pro and keep your purchase orders in Stocky, this is the fortnight it matters. Stocky won't be available after 31 August 2026, and Shopify's own migration guide tells merchants to stop creating new purchase orders in the app about 14 days before that date — which lands around 17 August.

What is actually at risk

Less than the replacement vendors would like you to think, but not nothing. Shopify is keeping read-only access open so you can pull data out for at least 90 days after 31 August, so the deadline is not a wipe. The APIs are the hard stop: anything wired into Stocky breaks on 31 August with no grace period.

The real loss is supplier records. Shopify states plainly that suppliers can't be exported from Stocky. Contact details, lead times and order minimums that live in the app have to be copied out by hand. Historical purchase orders are the second gap. You can export them, but Shopify confirms they can't be imported back in, so they become a spreadsheet archive rather than working history.

What replaces it

Shopify is folding inventory into the admin and POS directly and points Stocky users at its built-in inventory management. Stocky was bundled with POS Pro rather than billed separately, so for most merchants the official replacement arrives at no extra cost. The budget risk is narrower than a price rise: if native purchasing and forecasting doesn't cover how you actually buy stock, that gap is where a new subscription appears. Every inventory app on the market has spent months publishing migration guides aimed at this deadline, which is worth remembering when you read their advice about how urgent your situation is.

What to do before the end of the month

• Copy supplier records out first. It is the one category with no export path at all, so it is the only genuinely irreversible part.
• Close open purchase orders before the cutover rather than trying to carry them across.
• Export completed POs, stocktake history and cost reports while the app is still live.
• Audit anything calling the Stocky API. Integrations stop dead on 31 August, and that is the failure most likely to surprise you.

The 90-day window makes a missed deadline recoverable for most of this. The supplier list is the part that isn't.
