Shutdown: August 31, 2026
What happens to your Stocky data
Some of what appears in Stocky already lives in Shopify and is untouched by end of life. Stocky-specific history is not moved into Shopify automatically. Active inventory management and every Stocky API stop on August 31, 2026; Shopify says read-only access, including exports, remains for at least 90 days. Knowing which route each data type needs tells you what to secure first. See Shopify’s official transition guide.
Data by data
Reorder points and lead times
Not moved to ShopifyNot part of your Shopify product data and not inherited by any Shopify feature. They are also absent from the Stocky API. Save the Low Stock CSV as an independent copy; Shopify says read-only exports remain available for at least 90 days after end of life, but that window is finite.
Purchase order history
Not imported into ShopifyShopify has stated plainly that historical Stocky purchase orders cannot be imported into Shopify. Preserve an independent report or API copy. Beyond the individual orders, this history is what tells you what you last paid and which supplier each product actually comes from.
Suppliers
Not moved automaticallyShopify now has native supplier management, but Stocky supplier records are not transferred into it and Stocky has no supplier CSV export. Copy suppliers through the Stocky API before it stops on August 31, and keep a contact backup.
Stocktake and stock adjustment history
Not moved to ShopifyThe record of why a quantity changed is not transferred into Shopify. Export stocktake records and preserve any adjustment history available through the API or reports. Check your own retention obligations before deciding what to archive.
Current stock quantities
SafeYour on-hand quantities live in Shopify, not in Stocky. They are unaffected by the shutdown.
Products, variants and SKUs
SafeAlso Shopify data. Note that cost per item may exist in both places — check whether the values you rely on are the Shopify ones or Stocky’s.
A timeline that leaves room for mistakes
- 1
Now — export everything
Do this before you decide where you are going. Exporting does not commit you to anything. Export now for an independent copy; the separate hard deadline is the Stocky API on August 31.
- 2
About two weeks before the shutdown — stop opening new orders
Shopify advises this, and it is sound: receive or close everything in flight so nothing is left half-received when active inventory management ends.
- 3
Before the final week — run your migration
Anything that reads your Stocky account through its API needs Stocky to still be answering. Leave room to notice a problem and fix it.
- 4
August 31, 2026 — active use and the API end
Continue in the replacement workflow. Shopify says Stocky remains available read-only, including exports, for at least 90 days, so use that window only to verify your independent copies.
Common questions
Q.Will the Stocky API keep working after the app is retired?
No. Shopify states that every Stocky API stops working on August 31, 2026. The separate read-only period, including exports for at least 90 days, does not extend API-based migration. Do not schedule an API copy for the final week.
Q.Can I just take screenshots instead of exporting?
It is better than nothing for a handful of values, but it does not scale and it cannot preserve structured relationships such as which purchase order belongs to which supplier. Use CSV for the verified exportable fields and the API for supplier and purchase-order records before its deadline.
Q.Should I uninstall Stocky as soon as I have exported?
No reason to rush. Keep it installed while you verify the migration. Active inventory management ends on August 31, but Shopify says read-only access remains for at least 90 days; do not uninstall until your independent copies and counts are verified.
Keeping the parts that would otherwise be lost
Through August 31, UreyukiBox Stocky Copy preserves suppliers, purchase-order parents and lines, stock-adjustment parents and lines, purchase tax types, API payloads and product–supplier candidates recovered from PO history. From September 1, the standalone Stocky CSV import route in the same entry accepts Low Stock, every stocktake, PO parent and individual files, adjustments, Stock on hand, available Transfers, Average cost and other Stocky reports. Order limits and Statistics-style tables can be pasted in their supported importers; manual notes and evidence preserve screen-only information. The CSV route does not require API copy.
Suppliers feed current operations. Retained records, related lines, normalized reports, source files and evidence can be searched and reviewed in Stocky Data, then exported as CSV or PDF. Copied purchase tax types remain reference data and are not assigned to current products automatically.
The interface, the App Store listing and support are available in English. Alerts and supplier emails use English for stores outside Japan and Japanese for stores in Japan. The migration tools and the CSV import work on any Shopify store. Purchase orders follow your store too: totals are in your store’s currency, with editable purchase-tax presets for 53 countries. The US, Canada, Brazil, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia start with no tax line because one national rate would be misleading.
