Stokrio vs Stocky by Shopify
Stocky by Shopify: Shopify's own inventory app for POS merchants that suggested reorders and handled purchase orders, counts and transfers. Stokrio: statistical forecasting, replenishment, purchasing, alerts and 22 reports for Shopify brands and 3PLs.
Delisted from the Shopify App Store on 2 February 2026 and discontinued on 31 August 2026; read-only data export for at least 90 days after. See how to move your purchase orders to Stokrio.
Where Stokrio goes further
Capabilities Stokrio ships that Stocky by Shopify's public pages don't list.
- Receiving (incl. partial) — Full or partial receiving with lot, expiry, carrier and tracking; close short.
- Bundles & kits — Bundle sales count as demand for each component.
- Bills of materials / raw materials — BOMs with batch yield, scrap, labour and overhead, versions and sub-assemblies drive material forecasts; work orders consume materials by lot, record actual cost and can be reversed; BOM import from CSV.
- Lots & expiry — Lots and expiry captured at receiving, expiry radar, FEFO; serial numbers.
- Scheduled email reports — Any saved report view emailed daily, weekly or monthly.
- Alerts — Forecast-based stockout, reorder, late-PO and sales spike/drop alerts; morning email and Monday digest.
- 3PL client workspaces — Isolated client workspaces, staff access across clients, and a partner API: the 3PL's system sends clients, items, bins and stock movements, clients sign in from the 3PL's portal and see the 3PL's branding.
- Public API — REST API with scoped keys and signed webhooks.
- MCP / AI assistant access — MCP server with forecast, stockout, ABC, alerts, stock and draft-PO tools.
- Stocky import — Self-serve CSV import of Stocky POs (all files at once), suppliers and supplier costs, with a dry run.
