Shopify discontinued Stocky on August 31, 2026. Get the manufacturing features Stocky never had.
Stocky is gone, and Shopify's basic inventory tools don't cut it for makers. Craftybase gives you real manufacturing inventory management - track raw materials, manage bills of materials, calculate accurate costs, and sync seamlessly with Shopify.
Trusted by makers worldwide
Shopify discontinued Stocky on August 31, 2026. Key features like inventory transfers and min/max forecasting were removed in July 2025, and the app was delisted from the Shopify App Store in February 2026.
Shopify's official replacement is their built-in Admin inventory management, but it's designed for simple retail stores - not makers who manufacture products from raw materials.
If you're a maker who actually manufactures products (candles, soaps, jewelry, cosmetics), you need a system that understands production - not just basic inventory tracking.
Manufacturing features Stocky never had, built for makers from day one.

Craftybase gives you everything Stocky had, plus the manufacturing features it was missing. Track raw materials, manage production, calculate accurate costs - all synced with Shopify.
Unlike Stocky, Craftybase understands that your products are made from raw materials. Track every ingredient, component, and supply with automatic deductions when you make products.
Record what you made, when you made it, and what materials you used. Craftybase tracks every batch from start to finish, automatically updating material inventory and calculating accurate costs.
Stocky tracked quantities, but it couldn't calculate your true Cost of Goods Sold. Craftybase uses weighted average costing to give you GAAP-compliant, accurate COGS for every product - automatically updated when material prices change.
Keep using Shopify for sales - Craftybase syncs seamlessly. When Shopify orders come in, inventory adjusts automatically. When you finish making products, push them to Shopify with one click. Get the manufacturing features Stocky lacked while keeping Shopify's sales channel power.
Get the manufacturing features Stocky never had. Track raw materials, manage production, calculate accurate costs - all synced with Shopify.
No credit card required • 14-day free trial • Import your data easily
Yes! Export your purchase orders, inventory records, and supplier data from Stocky (before it shuts down), and we'll help you import everything into Craftybase. Our support team provides migration assistance to make the switch smooth.
Yes, Craftybase has a two-way Shopify integration. When Shopify orders come in, inventory adjusts automatically. When you finish making products, you can push them to Shopify with one click. It's seamless integration without the manufacturing limitations Stocky had.
Shopify's built-in inventory management is fine for tracking finished products, but it doesn't understand manufacturing. If you make products from raw materials (candles, soaps, cosmetics, jewelry), you need Craftybase to track materials, manage production, and calculate accurate costs. The two systems work together - Craftybase handles manufacturing, Shopify handles sales.
Stocky was free (but discontinued). Craftybase starts at $49/month for the Hobbyist plan, with more advanced features available on higher tiers. The difference is that you're getting real manufacturing inventory management - raw material tracking, bill of materials, automatic COGS calculation, and batch production tracking that Stocky never offered.
Absolutely. Start a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. Import your materials, set up a few products, record a test batch, and see how Craftybase compares to what you were doing with Stocky. Our support team is available to help you get started.
The big ones: raw material tracking (separate from finished inventory), bills of materials, automatic COGS calculation, batch production tracking, material expiry dates, lot traceability, and manufacturing workflow management. Stocky was inventory tracking; Craftybase is manufacturing management.
