Stocky is being retired and Shopify Admin never inherited its reorder planning. Here's a fact-checked, no-hype look at what merchants are actually switching to — including where Binly fits, and where it doesn't.
Stocky was pulled from the App Store Feb 2, 2026 and stops working entirely Aug 31, 2026. Full timeline linked.
The three jobs most Stocky users relied on every day, in one app — not spread across three separate subscriptions.
Try barcode stocktakes and low-stock alerts with no credit card required, then upgrade only once you need reorder and purchase orders.
Installs from the Shopify App Store and reads your existing catalog automatically — no CSV re-import or separate login to manage.

Why now
This isn't a rumor — the shutdown is confirmed and the clock is already running. Here's exactly what's happening, drawn from Shopify's own merchant communications and the Shopify Community forum.
Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026. New merchants can no longer install it — only existing users still have access, and only until the shutdown date.
On this date Stocky's APIs are switched off for good. Stocktakes, reorder, and purchase orders stop working — even for stores that were still actively using it.
Admin picked up basic transfers and adjustments, but sales-based reorder suggestions and demand planning were left to third-party apps — which is why this list exists.
Before you pick one
Stocky did four jobs for most stores. Whatever you switch to should cover the ones you actually used — the rest is often just added cost.
Can you count with your phone, or do you need to buy dedicated scanner hardware? Look for live variance in units and dollars as you scan.
Sales-velocity based suggestions are the minimum bar. Larger, multichannel catalogs may need deeper seasonal or multi-warehouse forecasting.
Creating, sending and receiving POs against vendors is core to daily operations — check which pricing tier actually includes it, since it's often gated behind a higher plan.
If you handle physical inventory, you likely need label printing for Dymo, Zebra or Avery printers — not every inventory app includes this.
The options
We built Binly, so we're not pretending to be neutral — but every price and feature claim below was checked against each app's own pricing page or Shopify App Store listing before publishing. Where we couldn't verify a number, we've said so instead of guessing.
Free plan · Starter $19/mo · Pro $39/mo
Known for: Phone-based barcode stocktakes, sales-velocity reorder suggestions, purchase orders and label printing — the everyday jobs Stocky did, without buying scanner hardware.
Good fit if: You're a single- or multi-location Shopify retailer who wants Stocky's daily-use features back, simply and affordably. Deep demand forecasting isn't part of Binly's scope.
From $4.99/mo to $59.99/mo
Known for: The cheapest entry point on this list — low-stock alerts and sales-history forecasting start on the $4.99 Basic plan.
Good fit if: You want the lowest possible price and can wait on purchase orders — they're only included on the $59.99/mo Pro Plus tier.
Free plan · paid from $19/mo to $239/mo
Known for: AI reorder suggestions, automated purchase orders, and 300+ pre-built reports with a Google Sheets integration.
Good fit if: You want a genuinely usable free tier before committing, or need heavy custom reporting on the higher plans.
From $59/mo · $99/mo for POs + forecasting
Known for: Syncing and replenishing inventory across Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart and eBay at once, plus bundles and barcode stocktakes.
Good fit if: You sell across multiple marketplaces, not just Shopify — that's Sumtracker's core strength.
From $79/mo, scales with revenue
Known for: SKU-level demand forecasting with automated purchase order creation and backorder handling.
Good fit if: You're a growing brand doing $50k+ a month who wants deeper forecasting than Stocky ever offered.
From $99/mo to $179/mo, plus add-ons
Known for: Full order, manufacturing and B2B management — inventory is one piece of a broader operations platform.
Good fit if: You need wholesale/B2B ordering or light manufacturing tracking alongside inventory, not just retail stock control.
From $49/mo, based on your GMV
Known for: AI sales forecasting, unlimited purchase orders, and raw-materials/BOM tracking for brands that assemble products.
Good fit if: You manufacture or bundle raw materials into finished goods and need that tracked alongside reorder planning.
Custom, quote-based pricing — varies
Known for: Deep forecasting and replenishment across 30+ integrations (Amazon, QuickBooks, NetSuite, WooCommerce and more) for multichannel retailers.
Good fit if: You're an established multichannel brand that needs enterprise-grade forecasting and doesn't mind a sales call to get pricing.
FAQ
Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, and stops working completely on August 31, 2026 — including its APIs. Any store still using Stocky loses access on that date. Shopify Admin absorbed some basic inventory operations, but reorder and demand planning were not carried over.
There isn't a single 1:1 clone — every app on this list rebuilt reorder planning differently. Binly, Assisty and Stockie cover the everyday version (sales-velocity based reorder suggestions and purchase orders) at a low price. Fabrikatör, Prediko, Sumtracker and Inventory Planner offer deeper demand forecasting for brands with more complex catalogs or multiple sales channels.
Yes, with limits. Binly offers a free plan (barcode stocktakes up to 50 lines per count, plus low-stock alerts by email or Slack, no credit card required) and Assisty also has a free tier with basic tracking and limited reports. Most of the other apps on this list — Sumtracker, Fabrikatör, Qoblex, Prediko and Inventory Planner — start as paid plans.
Yes. Nothing transfers automatically once Stocky shuts off. Export your purchase orders and stocktake history to CSV before August 31, 2026. Stocky can't export supplier records at all — that's a Shopify limitation — so note your vendor details down separately. See our step-by-step export guide for the exact process.
No, and we'd rather say so than oversell it. Binly covers the everyday essentials — stocktakes, reorder suggestions, purchase orders and barcode labels — for small and mid-sized Shopify retailers. If you need deep multichannel forecasting, raw-materials/BOM tracking, or B2B and manufacturing workflows, one of the heavier tools above (Prediko, Fabrikatör, Qoblex or Inventory Planner) will fit better. See our dedicated Binly vs. Stocky comparison for the full feature breakdown.
No credit card required. Set up the everyday essentials in minutes, not a sales call.
