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.

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!

Une app efficace pour les commerces de détails, mais impossible de restreindre les emplacements à des usagers spécifiques. Donc tout le monde peut jouer avec l’inventaire de tout le monde. Nous devrions pouvoir gérer les permissions par location, c’est un énorme blocage dans notre transition a Shopify POS.

Why does every update lower the functionality of the app?? - You now have to click edit on every PO to make updates (change it back!) - The new colour scheme does not let you easily differentiate between orders pending and received (change it back!) - When importing goods, sometimes you do not know the total landed costs until after all the import duties and taxes are paid. Stocky LOCKS the landed costs once goods are received. We need to be able to update shipping costs post order - to accurately see the Landed Costs (Please fix this as it is the most crucial part) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply 05/11/2024 In reply to the comment "you can click the Edit button on the top of a received purchase order to open up the option to adjust the shipping rates as needed." - the figures such as the margin and landed costs remain locked if you have already received the items, so this is not an acceptable solution. Please can you contact me directly to discuss improvements.

I almost didn't install this app due to the overall rating but it is actually brilliant and should be a 5/5. It is the only cost effective app on the market that not only directly links to the Shopify 'cost price' but adjusts that cost price according to the different buy prices across multiple PO's. You do not need a POS retail location to use this app for ecommerce only, there is no better app to manage cost prices in Shopify if you buy stock at different prices. Just brilliant.

When doing a transfer in stocky, Please show origin and Destination quantities to make it easier for us to check and tranfer

Wish there was options when running a suggested po. Like date of last order or last sold. So we can filter out products that haven't been order in certain time frame

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

One star, and wish it could be zero. Not efficent, lots of glitches, never any meaningful improvements. Like everything related to Shopify POS, it is overpriced, and underperforms. No customer service--every man for himself. Heed my warning, and AVOID.

So far so good, we have never used a stock management system before so we have been implementing stocky. Works great for us, allows us to enter our purchase orders in very easily and link to our suppliers. When containers have arrived we have marked as received and the stock has updated perfectly on Shopify. I see lots of negative reviews for this app but so far we have not experienced any issues.

HELP. I have never used it for years because I can't even get it to link and set up. And regular Shopify Help has me on hold forever and has no idea. It won't see/find Dymo printer at all. Nothing. I need to give it permissions .. and there is no button to NOW allow Permission. Just sends you to INFO about permissions. And Shopify doesn't save the label you use in DYMO anywhere you can find it on your PC. Can someone help me set up Stocky. It should be easier than this. Please and thank you. Otherwise Stocky is of no use to us still.

Completely exhausted with this app. Although uninstalled, it still ads stock quantities under product "Incoming" and messes with our inventory and stock count. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and have a set of tech guys to remove app intervention, with no luck. It's like Hotel California, you can get in anytime you want, but you can never leave.

Stocky is essentially useless for anything other than the most basic of functionality. No ability to see reports on when POs are due, no integration with Quickbooks or other accounting software, no ability to mass export or import POs, limited reporting functionality.... I could go on. It's disappointing that Shopify offers such a lackluster feature to fulfill a basic part of the retailer experience. UPDATE: They also have no workaround for multiple invoices per PO, which applies to over 70% of our orders, making their metrics for upcoming payments basically useless.

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.
