Purchase Orders & Receiving for Shopify

Purchase Orders & Receiving rebuilds the purchasing workflow Shopify merchants lost when Stocky shut down: raise a purchase order against a supplier, receive it across several deliveries, and reconcile what arrived against what was ordered.

It is an embedded Shopify admin app with its own purchase order data model, because the Admin API still exposes no purchase order object to build on. Supplier records, landed cost and partial receiving live in the app, and inventory and unit cost are written back to Shopify.

What It Does

Native Shopify purchasing covers the simple case. This app is aimed at the retail and multi-location merchants whose day was built around Stocky: ordering from suppliers on lead time, receiving in parts, and knowing the real cost of what landed.

Purchase Orders

Raise a purchase order against a supplier with unit costs, taxes, freight and an expected delivery date, then send it as a PDF or by email.

Partial Receiving

Receive against a purchase order over multiple deliveries. Short shipments and over shipments are recorded, and the order stays open until it reconciles.

Landed Cost

Spread freight, duty and handling across the lines on a delivery so the unit cost written back to Shopify reflects what the stock actually cost.

Planned for the First Release

Supplier Records

Contact details, currency, payment terms and lead time per supplier, kept separate from the vendor field on products.

Cost and Margin at Receiving

Retail price and margin shown on the receiving screen, which merchants have repeatedly raised as missing from native purchase orders.

Multi-Location

Purchase orders raised per location, with transfers between locations handled separately from supplier orders.

Stocky CSV Import

Bring historical purchase orders, supplier lists and cost data across from a Stocky export.

Barcode Receiving

Scan items in on delivery instead of ticking lines by hand, on desktop or a handheld scanner.

Reconciliation View

What was ordered, what arrived, what is still outstanding and what it cost, on one screen per purchase order.

Planned After Launch

These are on the roadmap rather than in the first release. They are listed here so the scope is clear before anyone commits.

Who It Is For

Retail-led Shopify stores, particularly Shopify POS merchants running two to twenty locations with a few hundred to a few thousand SKUs. The workflow it targets is buying stock from suppliers on lead time, not dropshipping or print on demand.

Status and Compatibility

Where it stands

What this is not

This is a purchasing and receiving app, not an ERP and not a full inventory planning suite. It does not handle manufacturing, bills of materials, assembly or accounting. If your operation needs those, a dedicated inventory system is the better buy and we will say so.

Pricing

Planned launch pricing, billed monthly through Shopify. No percentage of your sales, at any tier.

Questions About This App

Shopify removed Stocky from the App Store on 2 February 2026 and the app stopped working after 31 August 2026, with its APIs switched off on the same date. Shopify directs merchants to the inventory tools in Shopify admin and Shopify POS. Historical purchase orders and stocktakes do not move across automatically, and Shopify provided a read-only window to export that data.
That is what the CSV import is for. It is planned to cover historical purchase orders, supplier lists and cost data from a Stocky export. Supplier records did not export cleanly for everyone, so some re-entry may be needed. If you still have an export, keep it safe.
For straightforward purchasing, you probably should. The gaps merchants have raised publicly are the ones this app targets: no cost, price or margin on the receiving document, suppliers handled differently from the vendor field, and no suggested order quantity from sales history. If none of those affect you, native purchasing is free and already there.
POS Pro merchants running multiple locations are the main audience, so yes, that is the intended use. Inventory and cost are written back through the Admin API, which is what POS reads from.
It is in development and there is no listing yet. If the workflow above matches yours, get in touch: early access users get to influence what lands in the first release, which is the most useful thing you can do with this page today.
Through Shopify, monthly, in US dollars, like any other app on your store bill. Annual billing is planned at two months free. We do not charge a percentage of your sales.
