Stocky

Great potential — completely neglected by Shopify

Stocky has the potential to be a fantastic app, but it’s been completely abandoned. I was told it used to be a 3rd-party app that actually worked well before Shopify took it over — and sadly, they’ve done nothing to improve it. In fact, they’ve even removed some of the original features. If I were the original developer, I’d be heartbroken to see what it’s become.

I’ve tried multiple times to integrate Stocky into my business, but it’s missing some really basic processes that make everyday use painfully slow and inefficient. There’s no way I could ask my team to work with it. I’ve ended up sticking with Google Sheets, which is far clearer, faster, and adaptable to my needs.

Whenever I’ve contacted Shopify support about Stocky, they’ve known absolutely nothing about it. I had to push to reach two people who seemed to understand it slightly better — but even they couldn’t offer any real solutions.

There’s a real gap in the market for what Stocky should be doing, but it seems it’s just not “glamorous" enough for Shopify to care about. A real loss.

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.

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.
