Stocky was bundled with Shopify POS Pro

The Stocky POS Pro replacement, built for retail

Stocky shipped as a feature of Shopify POS Pro, not a separate app — so it's specifically retail and brick-and-mortar merchants who counted stock on the floor, reordered for the shop, and cut purchase orders through it who now need somewhere else for that work. Binly covers the same retail workflow, independent of which POS plan you run.

14-day free trial. No credit card required.

Barcode stocktakes on the floor

Count stock by scanning with your phone while you're standing in the aisle — no handheld scanner to buy, no clipboard to reconcile afterward.

Reorder for the shop

Reorder suggestions are based on how a product has actually been selling in your store, not a flat number picked at random.

Purchase orders to suppliers

Build a PO, send it to your supplier, and receive it by scanning barcodes as boxes come in — reconciled against what was actually ordered.

The stocktake screen your staff actually use

Scanned counts, system counts, and variances, side by side — the same screen a floor count runs on from start to finish.

Stocky wasn't just an app — it was a POS Pro feature

Stocky shipped bundled with the Shopify POS Pro plan rather than sold as its own product, which is why it's specifically retail and brick-and-mortar merchants who are losing a tool most of them didn't choose to install in the first place.

For a store with a physical shop floor, Stocky covered three everyday jobs: counting stock in person with a scanner during a stocktake, generating a reorder suggestion for the shop based on how items were actually selling, and cutting a purchase order to a supplier when it was time to restock. None of that is a nice-to-have for a retail operation — it's the routine that keeps shelves stocked and the count accurate.

What Stocky covered for retail

  • Scanner-based stocktakes on the shop floor, with variance shown as you count
  • Reorder quantities suggested from how each product was actually selling in-store
  • Purchase orders built, sent to suppliers, and received against a delivery

What that gap costs a physical store

  • Counting by hand off a printed sheet, typing quantities into a spreadsheet in the back room
  • Reordering by feel instead of by what's actually selling, tying up cash in the wrong stock
  • A supplier order tracked in email and a notebook instead of one place tied to Shopify
That's the retail workflow this page is about. Binly covers the same three jobs — floor stocktakes, reorder for the shop, and purchase orders to suppliers — from Shopify Admin and a phone browser, whether you're on POS Pro, POS Lite, or online-only.

From the shop floor to the supplier

The same retail routine Stocky covered, split into what happens on the floor during a count and what happens behind the counter to keep the shop stocked.

Count stock without buying scanner hardware

Scan with a phone, not a scanner gun

Open a stocktake in Binly on any phone browser and point the camera at a barcode — no dedicated scanner hardware to buy or hand around the floor.

Variance flagged as you count

Every scan compares the counted quantity to Shopify's system quantity right away, so a shortfall shows up while you're still standing next to the shelf.

Apply straight to Shopify

When the count is done, applying the stocktake posts the counted quantities to Shopify inventory directly — no separate adjustment step in Admin.

Keep the shop stocked, not overstocked

Reorder suggestions from sales velocity

Binly looks at how fast a product has actually been selling in your store before suggesting a reorder quantity — not a flat reorder point picked once and forgotten.

Purchase orders, sent and received

Build a PO for a supplier from a reorder suggestion, send it, and receive it later by scanning barcodes as the delivery comes in.

Low-stock alerts for bestsellers

Set a threshold on the products that move fastest and get an email — or a Slack/Discord post — the moment stock crosses it, before a shelf actually goes empty.

The count, the reorder, and the PO share one product record

A retail stocktake isn't useful in isolation — it feeds the reorder suggestion, which feeds the purchase order, which gets received by scanning the same barcode again.

A variance found during a floor count adjusts the same stock number a reorder suggestion is calculated from. Add that suggestion to a purchase order, send it to your supplier, and receive the delivery by scanning the same barcode you counted with — it's one product record throughout, not a spreadsheet handed between three separate tools.

If your store runs on POS Pro

Stocky's stocktakes, reorder, and purchase orders were tied to the POS Pro plan specifically. Binly covers the same three jobs without depending on which POS plan you're subscribed to.

You don't need to keep paying for POS Pro just to keep the inventory workflow Stocky gave you — Binly runs from Shopify Admin and a phone browser either way. And Stocky itself stops working August 31, 2026 regardless, so any floor-count, reorder, or PO workflow built around it needs a new home before that date.

S
This wasn't optional. Stocky shipped as a feature of the Shopify POS Pro plan rather than a standalone app. It was delisted from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, and stops working completely — including its APIs — on August 31, 2026.

The retail workflow, without a POS Pro upgrade

Stocktakes and low-stock alerts start on Free. Reorder and purchase orders are part of Starter.

Binly's Free plan includes low-stock alerts and basic stocktakes. Starter, from $19/mo, adds barcode stocktakes with variance tracking, reorder suggestions from sales velocity, and purchase orders with barcode receiving. Pro, from $39/mo, is built for multi-location retailers.

Common questions

Yes. Stocky shipped as a feature of the Shopify POS Pro plan (also available on Shopify Plus) rather than as a separate app purchase, which is why it's specifically POS Pro retailers who are forced to find a replacement now that it's retiring.

No. Binly runs from Shopify Admin and any phone browser, independent of which POS plan you're on. You can keep POS Pro for checkout and payments, or move to POS Lite, without losing barcode stocktakes, reorder, or purchase orders.

Yes. Open a stocktake in Binly on any phone and scan barcodes with the camera — no handheld scanner or dedicated hardware to buy.

Yes. Build a purchase order in Binly, send it to your supplier, and receive it later by scanning barcodes as stock arrives — reconciling counted quantities against what was ordered.
