What was lost
Shopify says Stocky is no longer available after 31 August 2026. Posters in a Shopify thread say the replacement leaves out reorder suggestions and purchase orders, and one says they would pay a small amount for suggestions plus an exportable purchase order. Treat the thread as community signal: several repliers sell tools.
Three things a reorder sheet needs
These points come from the posters' complaints and are authored as a method.
- A reorder point for each product, not one for the whole store.
- Sold-out days removed from demand, so best sellers do not look slow.
- A check against a simple flat average, with a plain statement of which one wins.
Why the check matters
A clever forecast can lose to a simple average on your own data. Hold back the last eight weeks, run both methods on the rest, and compare each against what sold. If the average wins, use the average.
Which paid job fits
The reorder sheet job builds a sheet for up to 300 products with the formula written down, a held-back test and a purchase-order CSV. The monthly job refreshes it. You place every order.
