Stocky shut down August 31, 2026 — your export still imports

Migrate from Stocky to Skucast in 5 minutes.

What the importer actually moves.

Some Stocky data carries over directly. Some gets reconstructed (suppliers). Some is recomputed from your Shopify sales (forecasts).

Imported directly

Purchase orders — every PO, every line item, with status, dates, costs, supplier name preserved
Vendor lead times — if exported as a separate CSV
Suppliers — auto-derived from your PO data (Stocky doesn't let you CSV-export suppliers, but the importer reconstructs them)
PO notes & audit context — preserved in activity log

The importer groups multi-line PO rows into single PO records, normalizes status (Stocky's partially_received → Skucast's partial), and reconciles suppliers by name — even if your CSV doesn't have explicit supplier records.

Re-derived (not imported)

Demand forecasts — Skucast computes its own from Shopify sales history (more accurate than re-using stale Stocky forecasts)
SKU classifications — auto-assigned by Skucast on first run
Stocktakes — Stocky-specific format; current inventory comes live from Shopify
Stock transfers — Stocky removed this in July 2025 anyway
Reorder points — recalculated by Skucast using your real lead times + service-level setting

Re-deriving is a feature, not a bug — Stocky's forecasts assumed naive velocity. Skucast's classification + Croston's method produces better numbers from day one.

The 5-step migration.

No panic. The export you saved is all you need.

Find your Stocky export

The Purchase Orders CSV you exported from Stocky → Reports before the shutdown. One file is all the importer needs.

Drag into Skucast

app.skucast.app/import — drop the CSV, columns auto-map, dry-run preview shows exactly what'll be created.

Validate the import

Spot-check a handful of POs, suppliers and lead times against your export before you commit. The dry-run preview shows every row first.

Go live

Once the numbers match, run your purchasing from Skucast. Your PO history and learned lead times work from day one.

Migration FAQ.

The questions every Stocky user asks before they pull the trigger.

Will my data really import in 5 minutes?

Yes — for the actual file upload + commit. The slow part is Stocky's export (it can take a few minutes for stores with thousands of POs). Once you have the CSV, dragging it into Skucast and committing takes under 2 minutes for typical merchant sizes (1,000-10,000 POs).

What if my Stocky export uses different column names?

The importer auto-detects 30+ common column-name variants ("Purchase Order", "PO Number", "Order #", "PO", etc. all map to the same field). If a column isn't auto-detected, you can manually map it via dropdown in the importer UI before committing.

Can I run Skucast and Stocky at the same time?

Absolutely — and we recommend it. Skucast reads from Shopify directly (not from Stocky), so they don't conflict. Run both for a week or two until you're confident Skucast covers your workflows. Then stop using Stocky.

What if I have stocktakes / mobile scanning today?

Those are on the Skucast roadmap (multi-location and mobile scan are M3+ features). If your business depends on these, the honest answer is to wait or evaluate alongside other Stocky alternatives. For everything else (forecasting, POs, suppliers, drop-ship), Skucast already exceeds Stocky.

Is the founding discount time-limited?

Yes — founding pricing runs through Sep 30, 2026. It applies automatically to first-time subscribers at checkout (no code): a 30-day free trial, then 50% off your first 3 months (half the standard rate). After that, you transition to standard pricing automatically. Subscribe before the cutoff and you keep the full discount schedule.

What happens to my historical PO costs / vendor relationships?

All preserved. Every line item's unit cost, every PO's supplier, the dates, the status — all carry over. Skucast's forecasting then uses this PO history to compute lead times automatically. Your vendor relationships in Skucast pick up exactly where they left off in Stocky.

Who do I email if I get stuck?

support@skucast.app — direct line to the team. Migration support is included free with all plans for anyone coming off Stocky. We'll personally verify your import looks correct.
