If you're a Shopify brand still running on Stocky, you've probably felt this coming. Shopify is officially sunsetting Stocky on August 31, 2026. In early February, the app itself was delisted from the Shopify App Store. Stocky hasn't disappeared overnight, but it's clearly been winding down.

For anyone unfamiliar: Stocky was Shopify's inventory management app, included free with POS Pro. It handled purchase orders, transfers, stock takes, and basic demand forecasting. It has been the default recommendation for Shopify brands who needed basic inventory tools beyond what the core Shopify experience offered on its own. Now it's going away. 

Your inventory operations are the life blood of your brand and you need to be proactive as you consider your infrastructure options in this next leg. 

We built GoodDay as former Shopify brand operators who lived inside Shopify every day. Our  goal was expressly not to build a generic ERP or a bolt-on tool. It was to create a Shopify-native operating system that offered more operational power than tools like Stocky without forcing teams into disconnected workflows. GoodDay is a Shopify-native inventory management platform, purpose-built for brands managing inventory across DTC, wholesale, Shopify POS stores, and marketplaces.

Today, we're announcing two new features that make GoodDay the most deeply integrated Stocky alternative available to Shopify brands, and the most natural Stocky replacement for teams that need more powerful inventory tools.

Two Shopify-Native Capabilities Built to Replace Stocky

GoodDay’s Shopify POS extension for Transfer Order Receipts

One of the things Stocky did well was extending supply chain workflows into Shopify POS, particularly for retail teams receiving inventory transfers. That capability mattered, and it shouldn't disappear just because Stocky is going away.

GoodDay now supports transfer order receipts directly inside the Shopify POS experience. When your warehouse ships inventory to your retail location, store teams can receive that transfer right from GoodDay’s Shopify POS extension, scanning items with Shopify's recommended hardware, confirming quantities in real time, and updating inventory immediately.

No switching tools. No spreadsheet reconciliation after the fact. Everything happens inside the same system your team already uses to run the store.

"GoodDay is flexible and agile, but what really stood out was the team. They made the complex parts simple." — Madison Hilson, Co-Founder, SENIQ (read the case study)

Dynamic FIFO COGS Written Back to Shopify

This is one of the most requested features we hear from our brands operating in GoodDay. 

GoodDay now pushes automated FIFO COGS directly into Shopify's native COGS field. We've always handled estimated landed costs, FIFO lot tracking, and cost components inside GoodDay. What's new is that this data now flows back into Shopify itself.

That means finance, leadership, merchandising, and operations teams all see accurate contribution profit data inside Shopify, without needing to log into multiple systems. For many brands evaluating a Stocky replacement, this alone eliminates entire reporting workflows and hours of manual reconciliation.

This is what being Shopify-native actually means. Not just syncing data, but extending Shopify's core capabilities in a way that is native to the platform.

Why GoodDay Is the Right Stocky Alternative

From day one, GoodDay has been built inside the Shopify ecosystem, not layered on top of it. Our operators already work in Shopify, and forcing teams into a separate ERP just to replace Stocky creates more problems than it solves.

Instead, we extend Shopify into the areas where it historically hasn’t been focused. For GoodDay, this is inventory operations, supply chain workflows, and operational accounting.

That approach shows up clearly in how GoodDay works:

GoodDay is a Shopify app. Fully embedded in Shopify Admin, with one unified data model and no separate login.

We build features that only make sense for Shopify brands. POS transfer receipts, dynamic COGS written directly into Shopify fields, native inventory segmentation by channel, these aren't generic features bolted onto every ecommerce platform. They're built specifically for how Shopify brands operate.

We're not done. Over the coming months, we're rolling out additional Shopify POS extensions:

  • In-Store Full Inventory Counts
  • In-Store Cycle Counts
  • Purchase Order Receipts Direct from Manufacturer 

Brands Running on GoodDay Today

GoodDay supports brands at every stage, from early teams operating out of their garage like Seniq and Yardsale to multi-channel brands like Poncho and The Normal Brand, managing wholesale, Shopify POS stores, and ecommerce at scale. What these brands share is a need for real inventory infrastructure without a year-long ERP implementation or a team of consultants.

"We're looking to grow wholesale almost 270% this year, and we definitely couldn't do that without GoodDay in place." — Kelly McGee, Co-Founder, Yardsale

"It's specifically built for consumer brands. We don't have to change our operations to fit into the system. It just works." — Clay Spencer, Founder, Poncho Outdoors

Your Stocky Migration Plan

GoodDay can be implemented in as little as six weeks. Our onboarding team, made up of former brand operators, handles the full data migration and implementation. This will include all of your purchase order history, supplier data, core inventory data, and costing data.

To make the transition easier for teams replacing Stocky:

The first 90 days are on us.

That gives you time to migrate cleanly, get fully live, and see the platform working in production before you commit.

Some of Stocky's features are already gone, and once the app fully shuts down, historical data may not be recoverable. (See a full comparison of GoodDay vs. Stocky here.) Starting the process now means a smoother operational transition. 

If you're evaluating a Stocky alternative or planning your Stocky replacement, now is the right time to start the conversation.
