Shopify retires Stocky on 31 August 2026

Inventory forecasting for Shopify — know what to reorder, when, and how much.

Forecastly turns your existing sales history into clear, per-product restock advice. A straightforward replacement for Stocky's forecasting and reordering — install it and it starts reading your order history right away. No POS required, no setup.

In final review — launching on the Shopify App Store shortly.

Migrating from Stocky?

Shopify is retiring Stocky: it left the App Store in February 2026 and stops working on 31 August 2026 — and its min/max forecasting was already removed back in July 2025. If you've been without reliable restock forecasting since then, Forecastly is an easy move. It reads the same sales history you already have and gives you per-product advice from day one.

What it does

Restock decisions, backed by your own data.

Forecastly doesn't use one formula for everything. It learns each product's demand pattern and picks the method that fits.

📈

Backtested, per-product forecasting

Several forecasting methods are tested against your own sales history and one is selected per SKU — so slow movers and bestsellers are both handled well.

🎯

Reorder point & safety stock

Tells you when to reorder and how much, sized from real forecast error and your supplier lead time — not guesswork.

🗓️

Seasonal peak planning

Raises reorder points ahead of Black Friday, December and January so you stay stocked in your busiest weeks.

⚠️

"Needs attention" at a glance

A clear dashboard flags what to reorder now vs. soon, with a one-click filter, CSV export and a draft purchase order.

Read-only access No customer data stored Available in 20+ languages Works on any Shopify plan

Why merchants switch

A Stocky alternative built around forecasting.

Most Shopify inventory apps focus on syncing stock across sales channels or printing barcodes — forecasting is an afterthought. Forecastly is the opposite: the forecast is the product. It reads your order history, classifies each product's demand pattern — steady, seasonal, intermittent or lumpy — and backtests several forecasting methods to pick the one that predicts your sales best. The result is a reorder point and suggested order quantity you can actually trust, per SKU.

If you're looking for a Stocky alternative specifically for demand forecasting and reordering, that gap opened in July 2025, when Stocky's min/max forecasting was removed, and it widens on 31 August 2026, when the app is retired for good. Forecastly is built to fill exactly that gap: install it and it works from the sales history already in your store — no Shopify POS Pro subscription, no manual data entry, and no spreadsheets to maintain.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Forecastly a good Stocky alternative?

Yes — it covers the forecasting and reordering side that Stocky users rely on. Because Stocky's forecasting was removed in July 2025 and the app itself stops working on 31 August 2026, Forecastly is designed to be an easy move: it reads the same sales history you already have in Shopify.

Do I need Shopify POS?

No. Stocky was bundled with Shopify POS Pro; Forecastly works on any Shopify plan and doesn't require POS.

Is my data safe?

Forecastly reads your order history read-only, and stores no customer personal data. It uses aggregate sales quantities per product to build the forecast.

How does the forecasting work?

For each product it classifies the demand pattern, backtests several forecasting methods against your own history, and selects the one that performs best — then calculates a reorder point and suggested order quantity from your lead time, target service level and demand variability.
