What Merchants Think

Merchants have mixed reviews on Stocky, highlighting notable frustrations with its performance and recent updates. While some find it useful for basic stock management tasks, many others express dissatisfaction due to persistent glitches, lack of certain functionalities, and poor customer support. The app appears to be helpful for some, yet many suggest it fails to meet the expectations of more comprehensive inventory management solutions.

Key Strengths

  • Effective basic functionality for stock management, such as receiving products and printing labels.
  • Cost-effective for eCommerce, especially for businesses not requiring a POS retail location.
  • Capable of directly linking to the 'cost price' and adjusting based on purchase orders.
  • Useful for generating purchase orders and product entry via a CSV import.

Common Concerns

  • Frequent glitches and an unintuitive workflow, especially after updates.
  • Inaccessibility of key features on mobile devices and limited functionality without a POS Pro subscription.
  • Lack of essential features like detailed permission settings, integration with accounting software, and customizable reporting.
  • Ineffective customer support and difficulty in resolving technical issues.
  • Locking of landed costs and stocktakes becoming problematic with the removal of certain functionalities.

Final Thoughts

Stocky shows potential for basic inventory management but struggles to satisfy many of its users due to ongoing technical issues and insufficient support. While it might work adequately for small scale operations, its limitations present significant drawbacks for larger businesses needing advanced features. Continuous improvements and developments might be necessary to restore its reputation among its user base.

I have no problems creating POs, receiving or adjusting inventories. My problem lies with the label printing. This feature worked (poorly) for a few weeks and now can't find my printer. Spent an hour with customer support, they couldn't fix it. Was told it was being escalated to developers. It's been over a week and I haven't heard anything else. Even if they figure out why it can't find my printer, the label feature is terrible!!! I've had to switch to a paid app for my labels, which works great, but I'm really unhappy about having to pay for what should be a pretty basic POS feature.

Great potential — completely neglected by Shopify Stocky has the potential to be a fantastic app, but it’s been completely abandoned. I was told it used to be a 3rd-party app that actually worked well before Shopify took it over — and sadly, they’ve done nothing to improve it. In fact, they’ve even removed some of the original features. If I were the original developer, I’d be heartbroken to see what it’s become. I’ve tried multiple times to integrate Stocky into my business, but it’s missing some really basic processes that make everyday use painfully slow and inefficient. There’s no way I could ask my team to work with it. I’ve ended up sticking with Google Sheets, which is far clearer, faster, and adaptable to my needs. Whenever I’ve contacted Shopify support about Stocky, they’ve known absolutely nothing about it. I had to push to reach two people who seemed to understand it slightly better — but even they couldn’t offer any real solutions. There’s a real gap in the market for what Stocky should be doing, but it seems it’s just not “glamorous" enough for Shopify to care about. A real loss.

We have loved this app, but now I cant bring in a new product into the purchase order, it cant find the item. Also, cannot do an inventory adjustment on a new product, cant find the item. I've had a case number over a week now, no solution. My receiving team is in gridlock! It has brought out warehouse receiving to a stop.

I enter a invoice and go to print labels, I get this error message. Had stocky now for a number of years, this has just happened. error message printing label extensions , the calling thread cannot access this object because of a different thread owns it , bad request. 1. Have reloaded Dymo and the drivers ( shopify tech support helped and was excellent ) 2. Have called dymo global and all is working from their end and printing correctly. 3. It has to be a stocky issue? Any help from stocky Tech department. Thanks Kevin Lee Papanui Cycles Ltd NZ

DONT USE THIS APP! Just another Shopify example of spending time to teach staff how to use, and running your operations on, only for them to deprecate features you rely on. Their response is now for you to seek out another 3rd party and pay more money. FIND ANOTHER APP NOW SO YOU DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Stocky has been an extremely valuable tool for us, and we used the transfer feature on a daily basis. Thanks to our predefined min/max stock levels for each location, we were able to take full advantage of the replenish function. With the Easy Scan app, we even generated barcode labels for all products within a transfer – a real productivity boost. If this functionality is truly no longer supported in Shopify, it will create a significant additional workload for us. That’s a major concern.

Been using for 6 years without issue, however lately, data feed and particulary the vendor list is not aligned. Shopify (owners of the stocky app) have attempted to assist but largely disconnected from the problems. Become a liabilty of late, rather than a help to stock management. Update: Higher level devs got involved and have identified an error which requires a patch. Refreshing to get propoer support after going through the AI bots and low level help.

This is so frustrating, this app works well for us even with its flaws to enhance Shopifys POS limitations, but now functionality on Transfers is being moved from it and moved to Shopify Admin. I wouldn't mind if the changes were an upgrade on the app but we are losing functionality. Very Sad that development is not being put into a very useful app, and assuming that eventually all areas will be moved to Shopify Admin with limitations rather than just developing this app further.

Please add a search function to help stores with a lot of different cartons from different brands locate the item they’re looking for. As of now we have to open each list individually until we locate the correct one, sometimes stocky will automatically scroll all the way up after going back causing us to have to scroll all the way down and relocate where we were.

AGREED with recent reviews. The recent update makes it so much more cumbersome to add products to inventory and it wasn't even that great to begin with. But at least it didn't require bouncing back and forth between Shopify and Stocky. I don't understand how this function isn't of the highest priority for developers. Adding products to inventory to be able to purchase and sell them is literally the most important task for all retailers and yet it is soo incredibly time-consuming and inefficient across these platforms.

This app is not suitable for you if you have more than 100 products. It looks and functions like an app that was developed by a single person in a basement. It lacks many basic features, like a simple select all button. You can’t apply filters to anything. It becomes very slow when you add more products. Some pages take more than 30 seconds to load.

This app was added by our retail team primarily to facilitate inventory counts. While it works well for a one-time year-end count, we found there to be gaps when conducting counts over time, using a perpetual inventory count system. At minimum, the CSV downloads of inventory counts should list the date the count was conducted and the stocktake number so that the downloads can be traced back to an individual count in Stocky. Preferably, users should be able to download multiple counts into one CSV, with dates and stocktake numbers listed. The app would also benefit from a report that could tell you the date an item was last counted.

Why haven't you guys updated this app? It has so much potential but makes everything so much more difficult. To start, at least let Stocky have the same functionality as the Shopify PO's & Transfers. This app is so painful to use. Please, please, please update this app. Please make it better. It is so close. Why make this app so much more difficult to use with less functionality than the Shopify counterparts?? Please, will you look at all the reviews below and make some common sense changes? Reach out to the people using this app and ask for their input. Shopify POS could be an absolute beast if this app was fixed and improved on.

I can't even view the product descriptions on the purchase order. This feature should just be a given. Every time support is contacted they just mirror my concerns and say they will pass it on to the developer. I thought Shopify was the developer and that is what I was doing?!?! Do Better.

Poorly optimized product. Doesn't balance to 0 when transferring inventory. Doesn't show products sometimes that are active. Barcode scanner only works in hidden option, not in line items. All this app did was make our inventory worse.

Super unhappy this app is conditioned to POS Pro subscription. Shopify is not cheap on its own - and these simple calculations within the shopify environment should be included in the package. Also given it used to be included.

I would gladly rate this product 5 stars if they added the ability for store-level users to perform stocktakes directly within the POSGo app or via a web portal. This feature would allow inventory counts and adjustments at the store level without requiring access to the Shopify backend or the app itself. It would be a game-changer for stores with multiple locations that frequently conduct inventory checks and need a streamlined, location-specific solution.

Frequently glitchy, and with an extremely unintuitive workflow. Trying to get support from shopify is also extremely difficult as most of their support staff isn't familiar with the app, and will pass you around or give you incorrect advice. The most recent update was a downgrade!
