How to export your Stocky data

The three screens that matter

These are the screens we have opened ourselves on a live Stocky store. Stocky has other export screens we have not tested — take those too (see priority C below), but these three hold the data that nothing else can reconstruct.

The one thing most people miss

Suppliers and purchase orders are the obvious things to save. The data that is not transferred into Shopify and is easiest to overlook is the tuning:

• Reorder points — the threshold you settled on per product, often after years of adjustment
• Supplier lead times — how long each supplier actually takes
• Stocktake history — the counts you ran, and the discrepancies you found

None of these live in your Shopify product data, and none of them are part of what Shopify inherits. They exist in Stocky and in a CSV you export from it. If you skip this one export, rebuilding means going product by product from memory.

Minimum order quantities are the awkward one. Stocky shows them on screen but writes them to no export at all — not the API, not any CSV. Open Vendors → your vendor → Order limits for each vendor you buy from, select the table and copy it. Pasting it into a note is enough: UreyukiBox takes the copied table as-is. You do not need to tidy it into a spreadsheet first, which matters because Stocky drops the quantity onto its own line when you copy — the importer reads it as “the first number after the SKU” instead of assuming a fixed layout.

Suppliers need the API, not a CSV

The other claim worth correcting: that supplier records cannot be retrieved from Stocky and have to be retyped by hand from your purchase orders. There is no supplier CSV export, which is probably where that comes from — but suppliers are in the Stocky API, and so are your purchase orders with their line items, your stock adjustments and your purchase tax types (rows explicitly marked for sales tax are excluded). A migration tool with your Stocky API key can copy those records and preserve the supplier–purchase-order relationship, which is how UreyukiBox links each product back to the supplier that last shipped it.

The catch is the API deadline, not the file format. Shopify says every Stocky API stops on August 31, 2026, even though read-only Stocky access continues for at least 90 days. Run the supplier copy before August 31, and save a simple contact backup as well, because the read-only export window does not add a supplier CSV.

The procedure

1. 1

   Confirm you can still sign in to Stocky

   Everything below depends on having access. Check now, not on the last week, so that a lost password or a staff-permission problem is not discovered at the deadline.

2. 2

   Stop creating new purchase orders about two weeks before the shutdown

   Shopify advises stopping new purchase orders roughly 14 days before August 31, 2026, and receiving or closing everything still in flight. An order left half-received when active inventory management ends is the hardest state to reconstruct.

3. 3

   Export everything the export screen offers — do not curate

   Exporting more than you need costs nothing. Missing something can leave you without an independent copy. Do not skip an export because "the API can fetch that anyway" — every Stocky API stops on August 31, 2026. Shopify says read-only access, including exports, continues for at least 90 days, but that grace period does not extend the API.

4. 4

   Check each file before you trust it

   Open a copy and confirm the row count is not zero, identify the column that identifies a product, note the date format, and confirm the character encoding is not mangled. A file that cannot be matched back to your products is not a backup.

5. 5

   Store the raw files somewhere that is not your laptop

   Cloud storage, or email them to yourself. Keep the originals exactly as downloaded and work only on copies.

What to take, in priority order

Priority A — exists only in a CSV

Reorder points, supplier lead times and reorder quantities, stocktake history, inventory levels per location, and any ABC analysis output. Take these first. If you run out of time, you want these.

Priority B — copy through the API before August 31

Suppliers cannot be exported as CSV. Use an API migration for suppliers, purchase orders with their line items, stock adjustments and purchase tax types (sales rows excluded) before August 31. Separately, keep any purchase-order, product or variant reports Stocky offers; a report can contain columns the API does not return.

Priority C — anything else on the screen

Scroll the export area top to bottom and take everything, including things this page does not list. Any list built from "what a replacement app needs" will miss concepts that only Stocky had.

Checking a file is usable (one minute each)

Write the answers down in a short note next to the files. In three months, "which column was the key, and was the date day-first?" is exactly what you will need and will not remember.

Questions

Can you export reorder points from Stocky?

Yes. Reorder points are the ROP column of the Low Stock report, at Reports → Low Stock → SKU/Variants → CSV, which downloads as low_stock_csv.csv. Supplier lead times are in the same file, in the Lead Time column. Guides that say reorder points and lead times cannot be exported are wrong — but they are right that these fields are not in the Stocky API, so this CSV is the portable structured copy to preserve.

Can you export suppliers from Stocky?

There is no supplier CSV export. Suppliers are available through the Stocky API, along with purchase orders and their line items, stock adjustments and purchase tax types. Stocky rows explicitly marked for sales tax are excluded. A migration tool holding your Stocky API key can copy those records and preserve the supplier–purchase-order relationship, so you do not have to retype supplier records from old orders. Every Stocky API stops answering on 31 August 2026. Shopify’s read-only export period lasts at least 90 days after that, but it does not keep the API route alive.

Does Stocky export minimum order quantities?

No — not to any CSV and not through the API. They are only on screen, under Vendors → your vendor → Order limits, under the heading "Variant minimum order values", in a Product / Variant / SKU / Min Order table. Select the table and copy it before the shutdown. UreyukiBox accepts the copied table directly, so you do not need to reformat it into a spreadsheet first.

What is the single most important Stocky export?

The Low Stock report. Products, variants, inventory levels and sales history live in Shopify and survive the shutdown untouched. Reorder points and supplier lead times live only in Stocky, are usually the result of years of adjustment, and cannot be reconstructed from anything Shopify keeps. If you only manage one export, make it that one.

What happens if I miss the 31 August 2026 deadline?

The Stocky API closes on 31 August 2026, so API-based migration cannot run after that date. Shopify says Stocky remains available read-only, including exports, for at least 90 days after end of life; however, historical Stocky data is not moved into Shopify, suppliers have no CSV export, and the read-only period is finite. Finish the API copy and save independent exports before the deadline rather than relying on the grace period.
