Reorder planning after Stocky

First, separate the two things Stocky did

It helps to be clear about which half you actually need, because the replacements are different:

Plenty of stores only ever used the planning half, looked at the list, and ordered by email or on the phone. If that's you, you don't need to replace a whole purchase-order system — and you shouldn't pay for one.

Option 1 — What Shopify gives you natively

Shopify's admin covers current stock levels well: quantities by location, transfers, low-stock views, and inventory reports on the plans that include them. Shopify has also been developing purchase-order and receiving features in the admin, so check what your plan actually has before you buy anything — this area is moving, and it may cover more than it did last time you looked.

What it has never had is a reorder point: a per-product level, based on how fast that product sells and how long your supplier takes, that tells you when to order. That's the gap Stocky users are about to feel.

Option 2 — A paid inventory-planning app

If you need forecasting and purchase orders, multi-location transfers, supplier management and receiving in one place, an app is the right answer. Names that come up repeatedly in the Shopify Community when merchants ask for this include Inventory Planner (the established, most full-featured option, and the most expensive), Prediko, Mipler (reporting-led, with a replenishment report), and StockPilot for low-stock alerting with days-of-cover thresholds. Several newer apps are aiming specifically at mid-sized catalogues of roughly 250–5,000 SKUs, at a fraction of the enterprise price.

Two honest caveats. Pricing in this category moves constantly and merchant-reported figures go stale fast, so check current pricing yourself rather than trusting any list — including this one. And the gap between the cheapest and dearest options here is very large, so it's worth being precise about which features you'll genuinely use: forecasting alone is a much cheaper problem than full purchase-order workflow.

Option 3 — Do the calculation yourself from CSVs

The forecasting half is not complicated. It needs two things you already have — how fast each product sells, and how much you have on hand — plus one thing no system can know for you: your supplier lead times.

• Orders export (last 3+ months) → units sold per product → sales per day.
• Products export → current stock on hand.
• Reorder point = sales per day × (lead time + safety days). Days of stock left = on hand ÷ sales per day.

The full method, with the formulas and a worked example, is here: how to set reorder points and safety stock explained. Both are free and need no signup.

This route suits you if you order from a handful of suppliers, you're comfortable in a spreadsheet, and what you want is the list of what to order — not a workflow system. It costs nothing but your time, and it keeps working regardless of which apps come and go.

How to choose

The free tools we made

Full disclosure: these are ours, and they're AI-assisted and human-reviewed. Both run entirely in your browser — your catalogue is never uploaded anywhere — and both are pay-what-you-want, free if you want them to be. The guides above stand on their own whether or not you use them.

• Reorder Report — drop your Orders and Products exports, get the reorder plan: what to order now, suggested quantity, days of stock left, per SKU.
• Stocky Rescue Kit — rebuild your supplier catalogue and per-supplier cost history from the Stocky CSVs you export before the shutdown.
