Stocky

I have been using Stocky for over 2 years and it has met many of my inventory control needs. I just read somewhere that it will be no longer available as of August of 2026. Is this true? And If so, what is recommended as a replacement? I need to be able to track inventory, run summary with activity reports, make adjustments, create pos, etc.

Absolutely unusable for any real retail operation

This app is completely useless for us. We run multiple stores with a large product catalog, and Stocky simply does not offer the basic functionality any serious retailer needs.

First of all, there is no proper way for multiple staff members to perform inventory counts at the same time. No scanner app, no multi-user workflow, nothing. For a store with thousands of SKUs, this makes Stocky practically impossible to use.

On top of that, there is no simple POS tile that lets staff receive or transfer stock directly. Everything must be processed through orders that need to be created in advance. This workflow is absurd. We deal with hundreds of orders every single day — following Stocky’s process would require hiring several extra employees just to manage stock adjustments. It’s the most inefficient setup I’ve ever seen.

For anyone running an actual retail business with real inventory needs, this app is a complete waste of time.

Für den Einzelhandel absolut unbrauchbar

Diese App ist für uns komplett unbrauchbar. Wir betreiben mehrere Stores mit einem großen Produktsortiment, und Stocky bietet nicht einmal die grundlegendsten Funktionen, die ein ernsthafter Einzelhändler benötigt.

Es gibt keinerlei Möglichkeit, Inventuren gleichzeitig von mehreren Mitarbeitern durchführen zu lassen. Keine Scanner-App, kein Multi-User-Workflow – nichts. Für einen Store mit tausenden Artikeln macht das Stocky praktisch unbenutzbar.

Noch schlimmer: Es gibt keine einfache POS-Kachel, über die Mitarbeiter Ware direkt einbuchen oder umbuchen können. Stattdessen muss alles über vorher angelegte Bestellungen laufen. Dieser Prozess ist völlig absurd. Wir haben täglich hunderte Bestellungen – nach Stockys Vorgaben müsste ich mehrere zusätzliche Mitarbeiter einstellen, nur um Bestände anzupassen. Das ist der größte Unsinn überhaupt.

Für jedes reale Einzelhandelsgeschäft mit echten Inventur- und Lagerprozessen ist diese App reine Zeitverschwendung.

Stocky has been an extremely valuable tool for us, and we used the transfer feature on a daily basis.
Thanks to our predefined min/max stock levels for each location, we were able to take full advantage of the replenish function.
With the Easy Scan app, we even generated barcode labels for all products within a transfer – a real productivity boost.
If this functionality is truly no longer supported in Shopify, it will create a significant additional workload for us.
That’s a major concern.

As others mentioned: Stocky is getting worse with every update.
Unfortunately, in the last "update" they removed the functionality "receive without syncing". As our logistics work separately from our management, Stocky is basically unusable without this feature. We can't mark orders as delivered without totally blowing up our Stocktakes in Shopify. Without being able to remove our delivered purchase orders, most of the reports are filled with wrong data too.
Good job, Stocky team

All I wanted this app for was to have an easier time doing physical inventory of my store. This absolutely did not work. I was genuinely hoping for a way to simply scan all my product for my yearly inventory, but despite following all the instructions to set my scanner and do the actual scanning (and yes, I do have a compatible scanner), it did not work. So once again I will be doing inventory manually. One would think Shopify would have a good, functional physical inventory taking system, so it's frustrating and honestly baffling that they do not, especially after existing for so long.

When can we expect to see the variant options increased on Stocky? It's great that we can have 2048 variants per product in our catalogs, but if I can't see them all to reorder, what is the point?

Can't use all features in the POS PRO app, contacted the support, but they are unwilling or unable to fix the problems. not recommended, if you use Shopify POS

I have no problems creating POs, receiving or adjusting inventories. My problem lies with the label printing. This feature worked (poorly) for a few weeks and now can't find my printer. Spent an hour with customer support, they couldn't fix it. Was told it was being escalated to developers. It's been over a week and I haven't heard anything else. Even if they figure out why it can't find my printer, the label feature is terrible!!! I've had to switch to a paid app for my labels, which works great, but I'm really unhappy about having to pay for what should be a pretty basic POS feature.

We have loved this app, but now I cant bring in a new product into the purchase order, it cant find the item. Also, cannot do an inventory adjustment on a new product, cant find the item. I've had a case number over a week now, no solution. My receiving team is in gridlock! It has brought out warehouse receiving to a stop.

I enter a invoice and go to print labels, I get this error message. Had stocky now for a number of years, this has just happened.

error message printing label extensions , the calling thread cannot access this object because of a different thread owns it , bad request.

1. Have reloaded Dymo and the drivers ( shopify tech support helped and was excellent )

2. Have called dymo global and all is working from their end and printing correctly.

3. It has to be a stocky issue?

Any help from stocky Tech department.

Thanks
