Stocky Migration Made Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide

Before you start

• Do this while Stocky is read-only. Shopify keeps Stocky's reports open for at least 90 days after August 31, 2026, so until about November 29. After that, the export path is gone.
• You will export three things: purchase orders, stocktake history, and your cost data. Stocky can't export suppliers, so EZstock rebuilds them from your purchase orders.
• You need two free tools: the Stocky Export Converter and EZstock, both free to start with no card.
• Set aside about an hour. No code, no developer.

The order matters. Export first so your data is safe, check the files so they import cleanly, then upload your history into EZstock.

Step 1: Export your data from Stocky

Open Stocky's reports and export everything you want to keep before read-only access ends.

• Purchase orders: export your completed purchase orders as CSV, plus any open orders you still expect. Stocky's API stopped working on August 31, 2026, so the CSV reports are the only export left. If you saved the API JSON (purchase_orders.json) before then, keep it: it carries the cost you paid per line and the real received date, and EZstock reads it too.
• Suppliers: Stocky can't export its supplier list. Each purchase order carries its supplier's name, and EZstock rebuilds your suppliers from those in Step 4.
• Stocktakes: export your stocktake history for your records.
• Costs: export your historical cost data. Stocky also worked out an average unit cost on each receipt, which Shopify doesn't do; our guide to weighted average cost in Shopify shows how to keep that number right after the move.

Save every file somewhere you control.

Step 2: Check each file with the free converter

Stocky sends one purchase order per file, and opening a file in a spreadsheet can damage it. EZstock reads the raw Stocky files, so this step is optional, but it is a quick way to catch problems before you import.

Open the Stocky Export Converter and drop each file in. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. For each file it auto-detects the type, consolidates the one-PO-at-a-time exports into a single file, and gives you an import-ready download that keeps status, received quantities, costs, dates, and suppliers. If a spreadsheet mangled a long SKU into something like 7.5E+11, the converter lists that row for you instead of dropping it.

Step 3: Leave your current stock in Shopify

Your on-hand counts are already in Shopify, because Stocky wrote every count and receipt to Shopify's inventory. Nothing needs importing here. Don't upload an old stocktake through Shopify's inventory import: it would set each SKU back to the count from that day and undo every sale since. Keep the stocktake export as a record.

Step 4: Upload your purchase orders to EZstock

Shopify has its own purchase orders now, but it can't import past ones: its CSV upload only adds line items to a new draft, without status, received quantities, or supplier links. EZstock imports them whole. Install it (every feature and no purchase-order limit for the first 14 days; after that the Free plan allows 5 purchase orders a month), then open Move from Stocky:

• Upload the purchase-order files. You can drop in several at once, and uploading the same file again adds nothing.
• Check the preview. Before it saves anything, EZstock shows the purchase orders it will import, the suppliers it will create (with a lead time worked out from your order and received dates), and the products it will link to the supplier you last ordered them from, at that cost.
• Import. EZstock groups the lines back into whole purchase orders and recreates each one with its supplier, PO number, status, received quantities, and costs. A line whose SKU is not in your catalog still imports, without a product link, so a purchase order is never partly dropped.

This step is pure record-keeping inside EZstock, so it makes no changes to your live Shopify stock. Your years of purchase-order history land in one pass, without re-typing.

Step 5: Verify, then add what Stocky couldn't export

Open a few of the imported purchase orders and check the supplier, status, and received quantities against what you remember from Stocky. Once they look right, add what no Stocky export carries: supplier emails (so you can send purchase orders from EZstock), supplier notes, and reorder points. Turn on low stock email alerts, and your migration is done. You can now reorder from EZstock the way you used to from Stocky.

What carries over, and what you re-enter
