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.

As others mentioned: Stocky is getting worse with every update. Unfortunately, in the last "update" they removed the functionality "receive without syncing". As our logistics work separately from our management, Stocky is basically unusable without this feature. We can't mark orders as delivered without totally blowing up our Stocktakes in Shopify. Without being able to remove our delivered purchase orders, most of the reports are filled with wrong data too. Good job, Stocky team

New update where you have to click edit every time to change anything on the PO is not helpful. I also do not like when you enter a new product into Shopfiy, the cost of the new product does not automatically transfer over.

Does some of the basics, but is far from being actively supported/developed. Want to print reports on an 8.5x11? Well you'll have to shrink down their default A4 generated reports - with no option to set another output size standard. Want to make a stock adjustment? Sure, and it even gives you the option to add notes and define the reasons - but print the report and that essential info is conveniently excluded. Want to know the total cost of items on that stock adjustment? Get ready to add them manually. Want to export vendors, perfect, easy. Want to import new vendors - sorry, no such basic luck. On top of that, vendors are paginated - so enjoy clicking 'next' over and over and over to get to the end of your vendor list. Also, did you add a vendor with a typo in the name, or are no longer using them? Sorry, can't delete the vendor, you have to 'hide' it. I could go on and on...there are SO many things which clearly show nobody "working on" this app have ever used such an app or know the first thing about inventory management/receiving. Judging by the reviews here, Stocky once had amazing support before it was acquired by Shopify. Want to talk to current support? Enjoy the AI chat bot rodeo. I'm making it work, but it leaves a LOT to be desired.

I'm sure Stocky has some great features, but the one feature we need to use almost daily has zero functionality. We are unable to print labels after receiving products. This is an extremely BASIC thing for an inventory app to do . So we have to pay $35/month for an additional app to do this for our tiny business. I spent literally 8 hours on this today and got nowhere. They can blame Dymo all they want but in my opinion once you develop an app you should maintain it. Too bad Shopify bought this app so now there are no Stocky experts on hand to help solve issues. Thank for the "free" app Shopify (it comes free with Pro POS). We were really hoping upgrading to Pro would allow us to delete a few expensive apps, but alas, Pro doesn't add functionality to anything we pay for so we are just paying even *more* for a few basic features that Pro offers like holding sales and being able to do exchanges (eyeroll).
