Exact, click-by-click steps to export your purchase orders, stocktakes, and inventory reports before Stocky shuts off — plus what can't be exported at all, and what to do about it.
Nothing transfers automatically once Stocky shuts off — export it yourself first.
Stocky stops working entirely on August 31, 2026, and Shopify has been clear that historical data does not migrate automatically once it's switched off. That means every purchase order, stocktake, and supplier record currently sitting inside Stocky needs to be pulled out manually before that date, or it becomes inaccessible. The good news is that most of what matters can be exported as a CSV file in a few clicks — the steps below cover exactly where to click, in order, so you're not hunting through menus close to the deadline.
Before you start
Do the one thing you can't export first, while Stocky is still open.
Exportable in bulk (all POs in one CSV) or individually by email. Includes PO numbers, line items, quantities, costs, and dates.
Exportable as CSV directly from Stocky's reports section — your stocktake history and inventory audit data.
Not exportable at all. Names, contacts, lead times, and demand-planning settings need to be copied down by hand.
Step by step
Three exports cover almost everything. Here's exactly where to click.
This single export gives you every PO in one file: PO numbers, line items, quantities ordered and received, costs, and dates. Do this first — it covers the bulk of your historical PO data in one go, and it's the file you'll actually reuse later when you import into a new tool.
Use this when you want a specific PO saved as its own file — for example, tied to one supplier or one email thread, or if you want a copy in your inbox as a record of what was ordered and when. Repeat for any PO you want kept individually.
Export your stocktake history and inventory audit reports the same way, directly from Stocky's reporting area. These are mostly for your own records — you likely won't need to re-import stocktake history into a new tool, since counts start fresh against your current Shopify inventory.
Supplier records, ordering rules, and demand-planning settings cannot be exported at all. Write down supplier names, contacts, lead times, and MOQs while you still have Stocky open in front of you — go supplier by supplier so you don't miss one once the list is no longer in front of you.
| Data type | Exportable? | How | Where it goes next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase orders (bulk) | Yes | Purchase Orders → Export All → CSV | Import into your new PO tool |
| Individual purchase order | Yes | Open PO → Send → your email → Attach CSV → Send | Keep alongside supplier correspondence |
| Stocktakes & inventory reports | Yes | Stocky's Reports → export CSV | Archive for your own records |
| Suppliers, ordering rules, demand-planning settings | No | Not exportable — copy manually | Re-enter in your new tool by hand |
2026-07-10_PurchaseOrders.csv — so you can find anything later without opening it.
What to do with the CSVs
Most of these files are for your archive. One of them, you'll actually use again.
Import it into Binly's Purchase Orders screen (“Import from Stocky”). Binly matches each line to your Shopify products by SKU or barcode and creates draft purchase orders for you to review — nothing needs to be re-keyed by hand, and you can adjust quantities or costs before confirming. See our full purchase order tools.
These are for your own archive. Binly counts live against your current Shopify inventory, so you don't need historical stocktake data to start your first count — just keep the files somewhere safe in case you need to reference past variance for accounting or insurance purposes.
Re-enter your manually recorded supplier names, contacts, lead times, and MOQs into your replacement tool once you've picked one. This is the only part of the process that can't be automated, so build in a little extra time for it.

FAQ
Almost everything. Purchase orders (bulk and individual), stocktakes, and inventory reports can all be exported as CSV. Supplier records, ordering rules, and demand-planning settings cannot be exported at all — you'll need to copy those down manually before Stocky shuts off.
In Stocky, go to Purchase Orders, click Export All, and choose CSV. This single file includes PO numbers, line items, quantities ordered and received, costs, and dates.
Yes. Go to Apps, then Stocky, then Purchases, open the PO you want, click Send, choose your own email address, check “Attach CSV,” and click Send. The CSV arrives in your inbox.
It's a limitation of Stocky itself — supplier records, ordering rules, and demand-planning settings were never built with an export option. The only way to preserve them is to copy the details down manually: names, contacts, lead times, and MOQs.
Keep them organized in dated folders, then import your purchase order CSV into your new tool. Binly, for example, matches each line to your Shopify products and creates draft purchase orders automatically — nothing needs to be re-keyed.
For most small to mid-sized stores, exporting all purchase orders and reports takes well under an hour. The only step that takes real time is manually recording supplier details, since there's no bulk export for those — budget extra time in proportion to how many suppliers you work with.
