How to migrate from Stocky to InventoryIQ in 5 minutes

Important Stocky timeline

Shopify removed Stocky from the App Store on February 2, 2026. Existing installs continue to work until August 31, 2026, after which the app stops syncing and any unsaved data is no longer recoverable. Migrating early — while you can still log into Stocky to export — is much easier than waiting.

1

Install InventoryIQ from the Shopify App Store (1 minute)

~1 min

Open the InventoryIQ listing on the Shopify App Store and click Add app. You'll be asked to approve the standard read permissions (products, orders, inventory, locations). InventoryIQ never modifies your inventory levels or pushes orders to your customers — it's a planning layer that sits on top of your existing Shopify data.

The first sync takes about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes depending on catalog size. You can move on to step 2 while it runs.

2

Export your Stocky data (2 minutes)

~2 min

From your Shopify admin, open Apps → Stocky. You'll need to export two reports:

Products report

Stocky → Reports → Products (or Stock report). Click Export → CSV. This carries your unit costs, lead times, supplier names, and reorder points.

Suppliers report

Stocky → Suppliers. Click Export at the top right. This carries supplier emails, payment terms, and notes.

Save both files somewhere you can find them — your Downloads folder is fine. We'll upload them in the next step.

3

Import the CSVs into InventoryIQ (1 minute)

~1 min

Inside InventoryIQ, go to Settings → Import from Stocky (or visit /import-from-stocky directly). You'll see two drop zones — one for products, one for suppliers.

Drag your Stocky exports into the matching zones. InventoryIQ will read the files and show you a preview of every change before anything is saved:

  • Products are matched by SKU. For every match, you'll see exactly which fields (lead time, cost, supplier, reorder point) will change, with the before-and-after values.
  • Suppliers are matched by name. You'll see how many will be created brand-new versus updated in place.
  • Any rows that can't be matched (SKUs not in your Shopify catalog, blank supplier names) are listed separately with a clear reason — never silently dropped.

When the preview looks right, click Apply changes. If anything looks off, click Cancel and nothing gets written.

4

Check the dashboard and you're done (1 minute)

~1 min

Open the InventoryIQ dashboard. You should now see:

  • Reorder recommendations using your Stocky-defined lead times and reorder points
  • Suggested purchase orders grouped by your imported suppliers
  • Demand forecasts already running on the last 60 days of your real Shopify order history

That's it. You're off Stocky and on a modern, AI-driven planner with 15 weeks of runway to spare before the August 31, 2026 shutdown.

Frequently asked questions

Will this touch my actual Shopify inventory levels?+

No. The importer only writes planning data — lead times, supplier records, and reorder points. Stock counts stay owned by Shopify and continue to update automatically via webhooks. Even if you upload a wonky CSV, you cannot corrupt your real inventory.

What if my Stocky CSV has different column names than the importer expects?+

InventoryIQ accepts the common variations ("SKU" / "Variant SKU" / "Product SKU", "Cost" / "Unit cost" / "Supplier cost", and so on). If your file has a header we don't recognize, the importer will tell you exactly which column it couldn't find. Email the file to support@ecominventoryiq.com and we'll add the mapping within a day.

What happens to SKUs in my Stocky export that aren't in my Shopify catalog?+

They're listed in the "skipped" section of the preview with the reason "no matching SKU in your products" and never written. This is usually retired SKUs or test products — review the list to confirm, then proceed.

Can I import the same file twice?+

Yes. The importer is idempotent: re-importing the same CSV will show "0 changes" because nothing differs from what's already saved. Re-importing a corrected version overwrites only the fields that changed.

What about my open purchase orders in Stocky?+

We deliberately don't import open POs in v1. In practice, Stocky users finish their open POs in Stocky and start fresh in InventoryIQ — importing half-completed POs causes more confusion than it solves. If this matters to you, email support and we'll help you migrate them by hand.

Is there a discount for migrating from Stocky?+

Yes — every account currently gets a 30-day free trial (extended from our usual 14 days) through August 31, 2026 to give Stocky users time to evaluate without pressure. No promo code needed.

What if I get stuck?+

Email support@ecominventoryiq.com with your CSV files attached. We'll personally walk you through the import — usually within a few hours, always within one business day.
