Export Your Data From Stocky Before It Shuts Down

Shopify is shutting Stocky down on August 31, 2026. After that date, Stocky's APIs stop working and your historical data — purchase orders, supplier records, and stocktakes — becomes inaccessible. Export what you can while you still have access. The good news: you don't have to start from scratch in Alfred — you can bring your purchase orders across by CSV. One important caveat: Shopify does not provide a supplier export from Stocky, so there is no supplier CSV to download from the app itself. This guide covers what you can get out of Stocky, and how to get it into Alfred.

Option 1: Export your data out of Stocky (do this first, before the deadline)

Recommended
1

Open Stocky from your Shopify admin (Apps → Stocky). You'll need POS Pro access while Stocky is still live.

2

Export your purchase orders: go to Purchasing → Purchase Orders, open a purchase order, and use the export / download option to save it. Stocky lets you export purchase orders to CSV/Excel — pull each PO (or your full PO history) that you want to keep.

3

Suppliers: note that Shopify does not offer a supplier export from Stocky — there is no supplier CSV to download. Record your supplier details manually (a screenshot or copy-paste of the Suppliers list works), or get in touch and we can help you move a large supplier list across.

4

Export your stocktakes and reports: from Stocky's reporting/stock take areas, download any stock counts, cost histories, or valuation reports you rely on. These won't import into Alfred, but you'll want the records.

5

Save all exports somewhere durable (cloud drive, not just your desktop). Once Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026, this data can't be retrieved.

6

Do this now, not in August. Exporting early means you can start using Alfred in parallel and verify everything transferred correctly with time to spare.

Option 2: Import your purchase orders and set up suppliers in Alfred

1

Install Alfred from the Shopify App Store. Alfred syncs your product catalog, inventory, and sales history automatically — no CSV needed for products.

2

Set up your suppliers: Alfred supports CSV import for suppliers, and you can also create them inline from any product table — adding lead time, MOQ, and pack size as you go (fields Stocky did not track).

3

Import your purchase orders: upload your Stocky PO export. Alfred matches line items to your Shopify catalog by SKU, so your purchase history and open orders come across without manual re-entry.

4

Review the imported records — spot-check a few suppliers and POs against your Stocky exports to confirm quantities, costs, and mappings look right.

5

Run Alfred alongside Stocky until the deadline. Generate a forecast and a purchase plan in Alfred, compare against how you'd have done it in Stocky, and switch over fully once you're confident.

Pro Tips

  • 💡Big catalog with heavy PO history, or a long supplier list? Reach out — assisted migration help is available so you don't have to move it all by hand.
  • 💡Export more than you think you need. Cost histories and old stocktakes are easy to overlook and impossible to recover after August 31, 2026.
  • 💡Alfred doesn't require POS Pro — so once you've migrated off Stocky, you may be able to drop the POS Pro subscription Stocky required (about $89/month) if you don't otherwise need it.
