How to export suppliers from Stocky (you can’t — here’s the workaround)

If you’ve gone looking for a way to export your suppliers out of Stocky, you’ve probably hit the same wall everyone else does: there isn’t one. With Shopify shutting Stocky down on August 31, 2026, that’s a real problem — your supplier list is often the single most time-consuming thing you built inside the app, and it’s the one thing you can’t get back out in one click.

Here’s exactly what Stocky does and doesn’t let you export, why your suppliers are stuck, and a workaround that rebuilds your supplier database automatically instead of forcing you to retype it.

What Stocky actually lets you export

Stocky’s exports are report-shaped, not data-shaped. You can pull:

• Purchase order reports — a CSV of your POs with the supplier, products, quantities and costs on each order.
• Stocktake reports — the results of physical counts.

What you cannot export, as a clean list you can import elsewhere:

• Your suppliers, with their contact emails.
• Per-supplier lead times.
• Minimum order quantities.
• Default or last costs per product, per supplier.

That’s why nearly every “Stocky alternatives” guide quietly tells you the same thing: plan to re-enter your suppliers by hand. For a store with a few hundred SKUs across a dozen suppliers, that’s hours of copy-paste — and it’s error-prone.

The workaround: rebuild suppliers from PO history

Here’s the key insight. You may not be able to export the supplier records, but every purchase order you ever placed already encodes the relationship you care about: this product was bought from this supplier at this cost. That data is exportable — it’s in the PO report.

So the recovery path is:

1. Export your full purchase order history from Stocky as CSV.
2. Feed that CSV into a tool that reads each line and reconstructs the product-to-supplier links, with the last cost paid.
3. You end up with a working supplier database — without retyping a single row.

This is exactly what Reorda does on import. When you upload your Stocky PO history, Reorda learns each product → supplier + price link automatically. From then on, when you start a new purchase order, the supplier and last cost auto-fill from that history — the same muscle memory you had in Stocky, rebuilt from data Stocky said you couldn’t export.

What to do before August 31, 2026

Whatever tool you move to, do this now while Stocky is still live:

1. Export your PO history CSV. This is your supplier data in disguise — don’t skip it.
2. Export your stocktake reports if you want a record of past counts.
3. Screenshot or copy any per-supplier notes (lead times, MOQs, account numbers) that only live in the supplier record — these are the fields nothing can reconstruct for you.
