Bring your Stocky history. Leave your stock alone.
Upload your Stocky CSV exports. Preview the mapping, review anything ambiguous and keep past purchase orders as an archive you can report on. Imported receipts never add units to Shopify.

The problem
Changing apps shouldn’t mean losing the past.
1 SKU, 2 matches
Ambiguous matches slip through.
A SKU that fits two variants gets assigned to the first one, and the history is wrong from the start.
missing column
Gaps nobody notices.
An export without a column imports anyway. Months later the supplier spend report is short and nobody knows why.
How it works
An import you review before it lands.
The original file is kept with the archive.
- 01
Upload the export
Add a Stocky CSV export. The original file is stored with the import.
- 02
Map and preview
Inventory maps columns to suppliers, orders and variants and shows a preview. Missing fields are listed before anything is saved.
- 03
Resolve the doubts
Ambiguous SKU matches stop for review. Uploading the same file twice is detected, so history is not duplicated.
- 04
Archive
Records go into history used by reports. Current Shopify quantities stay exactly as they were.
On the record
What the import protects.
Your history arrives without touching what is on the shelf today.
- Live Shopify stock, unchanged by imports
- The original source file
- A list of fields the export did not include
- Duplicate file detection
- Manual review of ambiguous SKU matches
- Imported history in your reports
Questions
Before you ask.
Which files can I import?
Stocky CSV exports. The preview shows which columns were recognised and which are missing before anything is saved.
Will importing change my stock?
No. Imported receipts are archived history. They never add units to Shopify.
What if I upload the same file twice?
The duplicate is detected and the history is not imported a second time.
Where can I read about Stocky’s timeline?
Shopify’s help center has the current information. Our migration guide links to it.
