Migrate to Katana. Free.
Shopify built a world-class storefront and added Stocky to cover everything behind the sale: inventory, purchasing and operations. That’s what Katana built for, from day one.
With Stocky shutting down on Aug 31, now’s the time to make the move.
We’ll get you there before the deadline.

Everything you need to know before migrating
Your Stocky data — SKUs, stock levels, supplier details, and PO history — is exported before migration begins and fully imported into Katana. Your migration specialist validates everything before go-live. Supplier data that Stocky doesn't allow you to export directly can be rebuilt in Katana as part of the migration process.
Katana's Shopify integration is native and real-time. Orders placed on Shopify appear in Katana instantly. Stock levels update across both platforms automatically. Product data, variants, and locations stay in sync without manual intervention. It works across multiple Shopify stores and supports Shopify POS.
Katana offers tiered pricing based on the features and scale your business needs. Migration from Stocky is free on any paid plan — no onboarding fee, no migration charge. Your migration specialist will recommend the right plan for your operation during the initial call. You can also start with a free trial before committing.
Most Stocky migrations go live within 4 to 6 weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of your SKU catalog and the number of locations. Simple operations with a smaller SKU count can often go live faster. Your migration specialist will give you a firm timeline after the initial audit.
No. Katana works with all Shopify plans. The free migration offer is available to any merchant currently using Stocky, regardless of which Shopify plan they're on.
Katana works for pure resellers as well as manufacturers. If you're using Stocky for POs, stock tracking, and replenishment, Katana covers all of that and gives you room to grow into more advanced features as your business scales. You're not locked into using features you don't need yet.
