Switching from Stocky to Stockroom

Moving from Stocky? Import your suppliers and purchase order history into Stockroom in one step - before Stocky shuts down on August 31.

Shopify is retiring Stocky on August 31, 2026 - and Stockroom is built to make the move painless. Import your suppliers and full purchase order history in one step, and keep the same purchasing flow you're used to: create POs, see incoming stock in Shopify, and receive against them.

Important: The import connects directly to Stocky, so it only works while Stocky is still running. Run your import before August 31, 2026 - after Stocky shuts down, your data there can no longer be retrieved.

What comes over

  • Purchase orders - your PO history, with statuses intact

  • Suppliers - imported automatically along with your POs (Stocky has no supplier export, so Stockroom pulls them directly instead)

You don't need to export any CSV files or re-enter suppliers by hand — everything happens through your Stocky API key.

1. Find your Stocky API key

2. Import into Stockroom

You can import in either of two places:

  • During setup: the setup wizard asks "Coming from Stocky?" — choose Yes, import my data.

  • Anytime after: go to Settings → Import from Stocky in Stockroom.

Paste your Stocky API key and click Import from Stocky.

3. Let the import run

The import runs in the background - you'll see "Import started," and you can keep setting up Stockroom while it works. When it finishes, you'll see a summary like "Imported 142 purchase orders and 12 suppliers."

If the import hits a problem, you'll see an error with a Retry button. If it still doesn't complete, reach out to us - we're happy to help.

Running the import again is safe. Each run adds any new purchase orders from Stocky and skips the ones already imported. It won't update previously imported POs with changes made in Stocky afterward — so if you're still working in Stocky during your transition, make your final edits there before your last import run.

4. After the import

A couple of minutes here sets you up nicely:

  • Review your suppliers. Visit Suppliers and open each one to add or confirm details like Email, Currency, Lead time (days), and Payment terms — an email address on the supplier means one-click PO sending later. (You may also see extra suppliers Stockroom found automatically from your Shopify product vendors — hide any you don't order from.)

  • Spot-check your purchase orders. Visit Purchase orders and use the status tabs and search (by PO #, supplier, reference, SKU, or barcode) to confirm your history looks right.

You're all set

From here, Stockroom works just like you'd hope: create a purchase order, Mark as ordered to see incoming stock on your Shopify product pages, and Receive to update inventory when it arrives. For the full tour, see Getting Started with Stockroom.
