Current export: official nine-file package
How to preserve your Stocky data export
Shopify’s current Stocky export contains manifest.json and eight CSV files,
including suppliers, products, purchase-order items, transfers, stocktakes, adjustments,
and location-specific min/max values. Keep the complete downloaded package unchanged.
Files and copied tables saved through August 31 remain supported separately on the
Through Aug 31 tab. The
official transition guide
has the current timeline.
The nine required files
Select every file from one official download together. Keep each filename unchanged; a CSV containing only its header is still a valid part of the package.
- manifest.json
- suppliers.csv
- supplier_variant_costs.csv
- product_variants.csv
- purchase_order_items.csv
- stock_transfer_items.csv
- stock_take_items.csv
- stock_adjustment_items.csv
- min_max_available.csv
The package preserves linked records
product_variants.csv includes supported variant-level minimum-order,
manual-reorder-point, minimum-stock, and lead-time fields.
min_max_available.csv carries location-specific minimum, maximum, and
available values, while supplier_variant_costs.csv carries supplier-specific
costs and minimum orders. Purchase orders, transfers, stocktakes, and adjustments refer
back to those supplier and variant records, which is why one CSV alone is not a complete
source.
UreyukiBox validates the store identity, required filenames, source counts, and cross-file references before anything is applied. A preview can retain a record as source evidence even when it cannot be safely normalized; it never fills a missing field by guessing.
Files saved through August 31 stay separate
If you already saved a Low Stock report, one-file-per-stocktake CSV, purchase-order report, or copied Order limits or purchase-tax table, keep that original. Open CSV import and choose Through Aug 31 for those legacy sources. Use Sep 1 onward only for the official manifest and its eight CSV files; do not convert or mix the two formats.
Suppliers are included in the official export
Shopify’s current package includes suppliers.csv and
supplier_variant_costs.csv, together with product variants, purchase-order
items, transfers, stocktakes, adjustments, and location-specific min/max values. Keep
these CSV files with manifest.json; their relationships are validated as one
nine-file package rather than as unrelated uploads.
Open CSV import and choose Sep 1 onward for that official package. Use Through Aug 31 only for legacy CSV files or copied tables you saved before shutdown. Keep a separate supplier-contact backup as well, because the importer does not invent fields that are absent from the source.
The procedure
- 1
Request and download the complete official export
On Stocky’s current read-only page, choose Request data export, then download the package from the link Shopify sends to the store’s registered email. Keep all nine files from that download together.
- 2
Keep every file, including header-only CSV files
A file with no data rows is still a valid part of the package. Do not rename, delete, merge, or resave any of the nine files.
- 3
Store an untouched independent copy
Keep the original downloaded folder somewhere durable and work only on a copy. Unsupported fields remain available only in that independent source.
- 4
Preview all nine files together
In UreyukiBox, open CSV import, choose Sep 1 onward, select the complete package, and review file, row, relationship, and unmatched-record counts before confirming.
- 5
Keep legacy files separate
Use Through Aug 31 only for CSV files and copied tables saved before shutdown. Do not mix those legacy sources into the official nine-file package.
What to take, in priority order
Priority A — keep the official package complete
Keep manifest.json and all eight CSV files from the same download together and
unchanged. Do not remove a header-only CSV: zero rows is a valid result for a data type the
store did not use.
Priority B — retain legacy files separately
Keep any Low Stock reports, per-stocktake CSV files, purchase-order reports, or copied Order limits and purchase-tax tables you saved through August 31. Import supported legacy sources on the Through Aug 31 tab; do not add them to the official package.
Priority C — independent context
Keep any screenshots, notes, or additional reports you already saved as independent context. They are not substitutes for the official package, and an unsupported source is not silently interpreted as one of the nine required files.
Checking the package before import
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| All nine filenames are present | A header-only CSV is valid; a missing file is not. Keep every required filename exactly as downloaded. |
| Every file came from one download | The manifest, shop identity, supplier IDs, and variant IDs must describe the same export package. |
| The originals are unchanged | Renaming or resaving can alter identity fields, encoding, dates, leading zeros, or the bytes bound to an import preview. |
| The preview counts make sense | Review every per-file source count, including valid zeros, plus unmatched and retained-only records before confirming. |
| An independent original is stored | The complete source remains the reference for fields the current importer does not normalize. |
The importer performs structural and cross-file validation before applying data. Read the warning and count summary instead of treating file selection itself as completion.
Do not open the files in Excel and save them again
Spreadsheet apps silently rewrite the character encoding, reformat dates and strip leading zeros from SKUs. Keep the downloaded file untouched and inspect a copy. This is the most common reason an import fails months later — and by then Stocky’s finite read-only window may have ended.
Getting the CSV back into a working setup
CSV import in UreyukiBox has two tabs: Through Aug 31 and Sep 1 onward. On Sep 1 onward, select manifest.json and all eight CSV files from Shopify’s official Stocky export together, review the preview, then import the supported data. Through Aug 31 keeps the existing CSV and paste workflow unchanged. Neither route infers missing fields or changes current Shopify inventory, transfers, product catalogue, or tax settings. Review the preview before applying it, then compare the retained result in Stocky Data with the complete independent export you kept.
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. Supported Stocky official exports, saved CSV files and copied tables can be imported manually from CSV import; missing fields are not inferred. 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.
Questions
- Can you export reorder points from Stocky?
- Yes. Shopify’s current official export includes supported variant-level Manual reorder point and Lead time fields in product_variants.csv, plus location-specific minimum and maximum values in min_max_available.csv. If you saved a legacy Low Stock CSV through August 31, keep it separately and use the Through Aug 31 import tab.
- Can you export suppliers from Stocky?
- Yes. Shopify’s current official Stocky export includes suppliers.csv and supplier_variant_costs.csv. Keep them with manifest.json and the other six CSV files, because UreyukiBox validates and imports the nine-file package together. Keep a separate contact backup as well.
- Does Stocky export minimum order quantities?
- Yes, in Shopify’s current official export. Minimum order appears in product_variants.csv and in supplier_variant_costs.csv when a supplier-specific value exists. For legacy files saved through August 31, the copied Order limits table remains supported on the legacy import tab.
- What is the single most important Stocky export?
- The complete official package. Keep manifest.json and all eight CSV files together and unchanged. The files cross-reference suppliers, products, purchase orders, transfers, stocktakes, adjustments, and location-specific min/max values, so an individual CSV is not a complete backup.
- What happens if I miss the 31 August 2026 deadline?
- The Stocky API closed, but Shopify’s read-only Stocky experience now provides an official data export. Download the complete nine-file package while it remains available, then use the Sep 1 onward tab in UreyukiBox. CSV import in UreyukiBox has two tabs: Through Aug 31 and Sep 1 onward. On Sep 1 onward, select manifest.json and all eight CSV files from Shopify’s official Stocky export together, review the preview, then import the supported data. Through Aug 31 keeps the existing CSV and paste workflow unchanged. Neither route infers missing fields or changes current Shopify inventory, transfers, product catalogue, or tax settings.
