Shopify is retiring Stocky on August 31, 2026
A Stocky alternative that keeps telling you
what to reorder
Stocky — the inventory management app bundled with Shopify POS Pro — retires on August 31, 2026.
Shopify’s built-in purchase orders can record what you decided to order, but nothing decides the
quantity for you anymore. UreyukiBox is that missing layer: demand forecasting, reorder points with
safety stock and lead times, low stock alerts, supplier records, and purchase orders you can send.
The app itself is in English — the English App Store listing is not live yet, so get notified when you can install
- Demand forecasting and replenishment
- Reorder points and low stock alerts
- Purchase orders and supplier management
- Full Stocky data migration
Japanese first, English next
The interface is available in English. Alerts and support are still Japanese, and the App Store listing is not localised into English yet. The migration tools and the CSV import work on any Shopify store, whatever its language or country.
We built for the Japanese market first because that is where we know the ground. The engine underneath is not language-specific, so bringing the interface to English is a translation job, not a rebuild — and it is on the roadmap.
What you get back after Stocky
A Shopify inventory management app covering demand forecasting, replenishment, purchase orders and multi-location stock control. Everything runs inside the Shopify admin, and syncing never rewrites your stock.
Reorder points that actually fire
Set a reorder point per variant — or let it be derived from your own sales pace, lead time, safety stock and target service level — and get a low stock alert by email, Slack or LINE before you run out.
Order quantities, not just alerts
Draft purchase orders arrive with a quantity already filled in: target stock level minus what you have, minus what is already inbound, minus what you have already ordered inside the app. No double ordering.
Supplier records Stocky users expect
Suppliers, contact emails, lead times, minimum order quantities and cost prices — the fields Shopify’s native purchase orders have nowhere to store. A single SKU can carry several suppliers.
Purchase orders out of the app
Export a PO as PDF or CSV, or email it straight to the supplier. Mark it as ordered, then receive part or all of it — and optionally push the received quantity back to Shopify inventory.
Warehouse operations
Stock adjustments with reason codes, stocktakes and cycle counts, multi-location inventory transfers, barcode scanning and barcode label printing — all of it writing back to Shopify only when you act.
Inventory analytics and bundles
Stock valuation, ABC classification, dead stock, a cash-flow calendar projecting when each draft order gets paid for, and a bill of materials showing how many kits you can assemble.
Moving off Stocky
The order matters — two of these steps stop being possible after August 31, 2026.
- 1 Before August 31, 2026
Export from Stocky
Reorder points, lead times and minimum order quantities exist only in Stocky. Export them to CSV while Stocky is still online.
- 2 Available today
Install UreyukiBox and sync
The app has been live on the Shopify App Store since July 30, 2026. It reads your products, inventory and order history from Shopify — syncing is read-only.
- 3 While Stocky is reachable
Copy your Stocky data
Paste a Stocky API key and the wizard copies suppliers, purchase orders, stock adjustments and tax rates, then links products to the supplier you last ordered them from.
- 4 Then
Import the CSV-only fields
Upload the CSV you exported. You map the columns yourself, so it works even when your Stocky export has different column names.

Frequently asked questions
Q.Is UreyukiBox a replacement for Stocky?
Yes. Shopify is retiring Stocky on August 31, 2026. UreyukiBox covers the part merchants lose: reorder points, demand-based purchase suggestions, supplier management and purchase orders. It also imports your Stocky data, including the reorder points, lead times and minimum order quantities that only exist in Stocky CSV exports.
Q.Is the app available in English?
The interface is in Japanese today and English is coming. The Stocky migration and the CSV import already work on any Shopify store regardless of its language or country, so you can rescue your data now and use the interface in English when it lands. We are shipping the English interface before we list the app in English — announcing it the other way round would just waste your time.
Q.What exactly should I export from Stocky before it shuts down?
Your reorder points, lead times and minimum order quantities, plus your supplier list and purchase order history. Shopify has told merchants to export these to CSV before August 31, 2026 and has stated that past purchase orders cannot be imported into Shopify. Once Stocky is gone those CSV files are the only copy that exists, so save the raw files without reopening them in a spreadsheet app.
Q.How do I get my Stocky data into UreyukiBox?
Two ways. While Stocky is still online, the migration wizard reads suppliers, purchase orders, stock adjustments and tax rates directly through the Stocky API — you only paste an API key. For the data the Stocky API does not expose (reorder points, lead times, minimum order quantities) you upload the CSV you exported; you map the columns yourself, so it works even if your column names differ.
Q.How is this different from the purchase-order features built into Shopify?
Shopify’s native purchase orders are free and let you record what you decided to order. They do not tell you what to order: there are no reorder-point alerts, no demand-based order quantities, and no place to store lead times or minimum order quantities. UreyukiBox is the layer that decides the quantity; that is the part Stocky did.
Q.What does it cost?
Four tiers including a free one: Free (free), Starter (¥2,980/mo), Pro (¥5,980/mo), Business (¥12,800/mo). Prices are billed in Japanese yen through Shopify. Paid tiers include a 14-day free trial, and you can upgrade or cancel at any time.
Q.Does it write to my Shopify inventory?
Only when you explicitly receive a purchase order. Syncing is read-only: the app never rewrites your stock on its own. If you already receive stock elsewhere, you can turn the inventory write-back off so quantities are not counted twice.
