Stocky Replacement for Shopify SMBs Before the August 31 Shutdown

saas real project ••• trending

Shopify announced Stocky's shutdown for August 31, 2026, leaving thousands of small stores hunting for a sub-ERP inventory tool. Existing replacements either jump to $200+/mo (Inventory Planner, StockTrim at scale) or charge per order. Owners need a Shopify-native PO + reorder-alert + basic forecasting tool at $20-50/mo that imports their existing Stocky vendor and cost data before the cutoff.

builder note

Ship a Stocky CSV importer in week one and post it everywhere with the title 'Stocky shutdown? Import your data here in 60 seconds.' That's your distribution. The product is downstream. You have until August 31 to capture the migration window... after that, this becomes a normal commoditized inventory app fight.

Real, urgent shutdown deadline. Market is bifurcated between hobbyist free tools and enterprise ERPs, with nothing built specifically for the Stocky exodus.

Inventory Planner Forecasting-heavy, priced for established stores. Way over-built for a 200-SKU shop that just wants reorder alerts.

Sumtracker Closer to the right price point but no forecasting and PO workflow is clunky. Doesn't import Stocky data.

Prediko Modern UI, but pricing escalates with order volume. Not positioned as the 'Stocky-lite' replacement migrants want.
