Shopify shuts Stocky down on 31 August 2026
Know what you owe, and what your stock really cost
Stocky is being switched off, and what replaces it drops the part your bookkeeper cares about: supplier invoices, due dates, and the true cost of what you bought. Purser puts purchase orders, receiving and accounts payable in the Shopify admin you already use.
Free plan, five purchase orders a month. Pro $37.99/month. No transaction fees, no per-location charge.

The money layer
One loop, from the order to the balance owed
Most tools own half of this. Purchase-order apps stop when the stock arrives. Accounting tools start when the invoice does. Purser owns the money layer where the two meet.
Buying and receiving
- Build a purchase order from your catalogue
- Scan stock in on one screen
- True cost recalculated on every delivery
Accounts payable
- Invoice due dates and payment status
- What you owe each supplier, aged
- Export the lot for your bookkeeper
Why Purser
Built for the merchant Stocky left behind
Accounts payable, without the QuickBooks detour
Nearly every alternative pushes what you owe out into accounting software and calls it done. Purser keeps the ledger in Shopify: invoice numbers, due dates, paid, partly paid, unpaid, and a running balance for every supplier. Export it when your bookkeeper wants it — don't rebuild it there.
Receiving on one screen
Scan a barcode and the row is already there: quantity, what you actually paid, the retail price, the live margin, and what's on hand. No wizard, no second screen to fix the quantity you just typed.
Cost that is actually right
Shopify records the last price you paid and treats it as the cost of every unit on the shelf. Purser keeps a weighted average across every delivery, so the margin you are reading is the margin you are earning.
It lives where you work
Purser is a Shopify admin app built on Shopify's own design system. There is no separate login, no nightly sync to babysit, and no third-party API to fall over on a Friday.
The problem, in merchants' words
Three things merchants lost, and want back
Purchase orders take too many clicks
Adding products, saving, then opening another screen just to change a quantity. It is a wizard, not a buying screen.
In Purser
One screen. Add variants in bulk, set quantities and costs in the same pass, and watch the order total as you go.
The cost figure is wrong
Shopify overwrites unit cost with the last price paid on a purchase order. Buy cheap once and every margin report flatters you until the next delivery.
In Purser
A weighted average across everything you hold, recalculated the moment stock is received — including part-deliveries.
Receiving by hand is slow and wrong
Thousands of units arrive in a week. Typing them in costs hours and puts errors straight into the inventory you sell from.
In Purser
Scan to receive. Each scan updates the count, records what you actually paid, and writes the stock into Shopify.
Shopify is treating PO creation like a wizard, not a buying workspace. We need the raw data, on one screen, without clicking through pages.

Built for the shop floor
Software that understands a receiving dock
Purser is written for merchants who count physical stock, chase late deliveries, and pay suppliers on terms. Not for a dashboard nobody opens.

Stocky stops working on 31 August 2026
The supplier records, costs and purchase-order history you built up over years do not move to Shopify by themselves. Export them, bring them into Purser, and keep the ledger you have been running your shop on.
Free plan, five purchase orders a month. Pro is $37.99 a month, flat.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my Stocky data when it shuts down?
Nothing carries over on its own. Shopify does not import Stocky's purchase orders, supplier records or receiving history, and after 31 August 2026 the app and its API stop working. Export your data to CSV before then, whatever you decide to use next. Purser imports those CSVs, and the import is free on every plan.
Does Purser calculate true weighted-average cost?
Yes. Shopify records only the last price you paid on a purchase order and applies it to every unit you hold. Purser weights the cost of the stock you already had against the stock arriving, and recalculates on each receipt — including partial deliveries — so your margin figures reflect what you actually paid.
Does Purser sync with QuickBooks or Xero?
No, and that is the point. Every other app pushes what you owe out into accounting software, which is exactly the workflow merchants told us they were tired of. Purser keeps the payables ledger inside Shopify, and exports it as CSV whenever your bookkeeper wants it. A direct accounting integration is not on the roadmap for launch.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. Five purchase orders a month, with every other feature switched on — accounts payable, weighted-average cost, receiving, corrections, credit notes and the CSV import. Pro is $37.99 a month and lifts the purchase-order limit and emails orders to suppliers. Nothing you have entered is ever locked away if you stop paying.
Do you charge transaction fees or per-location fees?
No. There is no fee per purchase order, per unit received, or per location. Pro is one flat monthly price.
