A Stocky alternative for moving stock between your locations
Stocky stopped working on August 31, 2026. If you used it to decide what each store needed and send it from your warehouse, Shopify's admin now covers the transfer itself but not the deciding. Stockadoodl does that part: set a min and max once, and when a store runs low you get a Shopify transfer with the quantity already filled in.

What happened to Stocky
- February 2, 2026: Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store.
- August 31, 2026: Stocky stopped working.
- After that: Shopify said merchants keep read-only access to export their Stocky data for at least 90 days. If you haven't exported your min/max levels yet, do it now. They don't carry over on their own.
Shopify is moving core inventory work into the admin and POS. Past purchase orders and stocktakes don't move across, so this isn't a one-for-one switch.
Where each Stocky job goes now
| What you used Stocky for | Where it lives now |
|---|---|
| Purchase orders and suppliers | Shopify admin. POs can now create transfers to receive stock. |
| Stocktakes | Shopify admin stock counts (added October 20, 2026) |
| Creating and receiving transfers | Shopify admin, under Products → Transfers. POS Pro adds in-store transfer screens. |
| Min/max levels per store | Stockadoodl |
| Knowing which store needs what, and how many | Stockadoodl: alerts and a daily or weekly digest with the transfer pre-filled |
| Picking the transfer at the warehouse | Stockadoodl Pro: scan-to-pick on a phone, sorted by bin, no Shopify login |
| What to reorder from suppliers | Stockadoodl: reorder suggestions from sales pace and lead time, exported to CSV for your PO |
How Stockadoodl replaces the transfer side
- Set min and max per product and store, or set one coverage-day rule across every SKU.
- Get told when a store runs low by email, Slack, or a daily or weekly digest.
- Review the pre-filled transfer. The suggested quantity never exceeds what the warehouse has, and it counts stock already promised to other open transfers. A "Why this quantity?" note shows the math.
- Create it. It's a real Shopify transfer, the same one you'd see under Products → Transfers. Nothing is created until you click.
- Pick it (Pro). Send your team a picker link. They scan from their phone, and you see who picked what.
- Receive it. Record each line as accepted, short or damaged. Stockadoodl receives it in Shopify and flags anything that doesn't add up.
Moving your min/max levels over
- Export from Stocky while read-only access lasts. You need each product's SKU and its min and max for each store.
- Make a CSV with three columns:
SKU,Min qty,Max qty. One file per store. Headers aren't case-sensitive. - Install Stockadoodl and open Thresholds.
- Import the CSV in the bulk rules section. Pick the store and the warehouse that supplies it, then upload. Stockadoodl matches each SKU to your Shopify variant and lists any it couldn't find.
- Fix unmatched SKUs in Shopify (blank or duplicate SKUs are the usual cause) and import again.
No Stocky export? Use a bulk rule instead: set a coverage floor and ceiling in days, preview what it suggests from your recent sales, and apply it.
Your first transfer: a quick checklist
- Each store has its warehouse set as the source.
- Thresholds cover your best sellers first. You can fill in the rest later.
- Alerts go to whoever builds transfers, by email or Slack.
- Bin locations are set in Shopify if you want bin-sorted pick lists.
- Open the first pre-filled transfer, check the quantities, then create it.
Where Stockadoodl isn't a fit
Stockadoodl is about moving stock between your own locations. It doesn't write purchase orders, track cost of goods, or forecast with AI. For POs, use Shopify's built-in purchase orders; Stockadoodl's reorder page gives you the list to put on them. If you need a full planning suite, apps like Prediko or Sumtracker cover more ground for more money.
Pricing
Stockadoodl is $9.99 a month. Pro is $19.99 and adds sales-pace suggestions and guided picking. Both include receiving, exceptions and reorder suggestions, with a 7-day free trial. You don't need POS Pro to use it; here's what that saves.
Questions
Does Stockadoodl create transfers automatically?
No, on purpose. The transfer waits, pre-filled, in your alert or digest. You review it and create it in one click.
Does it work with POS Pro?
Yes. It creates normal Shopify transfers, so if your stores use POS Pro they can still ship and receive them from POS.
Can I import my Stocky min/max levels?
Yes. Export them from Stocky while read-only access lasts, save them as a CSV with SKU, Min qty and Max qty, and import it on the Thresholds page.
Do I need a warehouse?
You need one location that supplies the others. That can be a warehouse, a back room, or your biggest store.
