Shutdown: August 31, 2026
What happens to your Stocky data
Some of what is in Stocky is not really in Stocky — it lives in Shopify and is untouched by the shutdown. The rest splits into things Shopify has said it will not import, and things that simply cease to exist. Knowing which is which tells you where to spend the time you have left.
Data by data
Reorder points and lead times
GoneNot part of your Shopify product data and not inherited by any Shopify feature. These are also not available through the Stocky API — a CSV export is the only way to get them out. This is the most valuable and most commonly overlooked item.
Purchase order history
Gone from ShopifyShopify has stated plainly that historical Stocky purchase orders cannot be imported into Shopify. Your export is the only copy. Beyond the individual orders, this history is what tells you what you last paid and which supplier each product actually comes from.
Suppliers
GoneNames, contact emails, phone numbers, payment terms. Shopify products carry a vendor field, but that is a label, not a supplier record you can send an order to. Rebuilding by hand takes days to weeks depending on how many you have.
Stocktake and stock adjustment history
GoneThe record of why a quantity changed. If you are ever asked to substantiate an inventory figure, this is the paper trail. Many jurisdictions require you to retain records like these for several years, so check your own retention obligations before assuming you can let it go.
Current stock quantities
SafeYour on-hand quantities live in Shopify, not in Stocky. They are unaffected by the shutdown.
Products, variants and SKUs
SafeAlso Shopify data. Note that cost per item may exist in both places — check whether the values you rely on are the Shopify ones or Stocky’s.
A timeline that leaves room for mistakes
- 1
Now — export everything
Do this before you decide where you are going. Exporting does not commit you to anything, and it is the only step with a hard deadline.
- 2
About two weeks before the shutdown — stop opening new orders
Shopify advises this, and it is sound: receive or close everything in flight so nothing is left half-received when the app disappears.
- 3
Before the final week — run your migration
Anything that reads your Stocky account through its API needs Stocky to still be answering. Leave room to notice a problem and fix it.

August 31, 2026 — compare, then let go
Keep Stocky installed until then so you can check counts against it.
Common questions
Q.Will the Stocky API keep working after the app is retired?
Shopify has not published a separate date for the API, so plan on it stopping when the app does. Anything that reads your Stocky account programmatically — including migration tools — should be treated as unavailable from that point. Do not schedule your migration for the final week.
Q.Can I just take screenshots instead of exporting?
It is better than nothing for a handful of products, but it does not scale and it breaks the relationships — which order went to which supplier, which product carries which tax rate. Those links are the part that is most painful to rebuild by hand.
Q.Should I uninstall Stocky as soon as I have exported?
No reason to rush. Keep it until the shutdown date so you can compare against it if a number looks wrong after you migrate.
Keeping the parts that would otherwise be lost
UreyukiBox copies suppliers, purchase orders, stock adjustments and tax rates through the Stocky API while it is still reachable, and imports the CSV-only fields — reorder points, lead times and stocktake history — from the file you exported, with the column mapping up to you. Minimum order quantities are in neither the API nor any CSV, so you set those yourself.
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.
