How to read this tracker
- Native — Shopify covers the workflow in Admin or POS.
- Native — workflow differs — Shopify covers it, but the operating model changed.
- Partial / manual — merchants can approximate it with metafields, exports or extra steps.
- Specialist app / custom workflow — Shopify points to another app or a custom process.
- Migration-only gap — the issue is preserving Stocky history or records, not a live Shopify workflow.

Suppliers & purchasing data
Multiple suppliers per product
Be the first to vote
Buy the same Shopify product from more than one supplier while keeping supplier-specific purchasing details.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported multiple suppliers per product with supplier-specific information.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify says each product has one Vendor field. Multiple suppliers and related details can be stored with variant metafields or metaobjects, but those fields are independent of PO ordering and receiving calculations.
- Salor Invoice
- Salor already has supplier-scoped Product Memory, which is conceptually relevant, but it is not a full multiple-supplier procurement system.
Suppliers & purchasing data
Supplier-specific product pricing
Be the first to vote
Keep different purchase costs for the same product when sourcing from different suppliers.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported separate supplier cost price lists.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify POs support line costs and adjustments, but Shopify notes these do not replace supplier-specific cost defaults or full procurement analytics.
- Salor Invoice
- Supplier Cost Book is a strong adjacent use case because Salor already captures actual invoice costs and product cost history.
Suppliers & purchasing data
Pack / case-size handling
Be the first to vote
Order in supplier packs or cases while receiving the correct number of individual Shopify inventory units.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported pack sizes and pack quantities on supplier purchase orders.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify suggests storing case quantity in metafields/metaobjects, but says staff convert case packs into individual units manually when creating or receiving an order.
- Salor Invoice
- Pack / Case-Size Memory is a strong fit with Salor's supplier-product memory but is not live today.
Costs & financial accuracy
Weighted-average cost
Be the first to vote
Update inventory cost based on existing stock plus the cost of newly received stock.
- Stocky
- Stocky calculated average unit cost when purchase orders were received.
- Shopify nowSpecialist app / custom workflow
- Shopify says each variant has one static Cost per item and directs merchants needing weighted-average costing to a third-party costing app.
- Salor InvoiceUnder consideration
- Salor currently uses reviewed invoice cost rather than a full weighted-average inventory valuation model.
Costs & financial accuracy
Landed-cost allocation
Be the first to vote
Allocate freight, duty and other charges into the real per-unit cost of received products.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported landed-cost calculations as part of average unit costing.
- Shopify nowSpecialist app / custom workflow
- Shopify POs can record adjustments such as shipping, fees or duties, but automatic landed-cost allocation into product cost is directed to third-party costing apps.
- Salor InvoiceUnder consideration
- Landed cost is a strong future Pro-level feature for Salor but is not currently available.
Costs & financial accuracy
Product / supplier cost history
Be the first to vote
See how purchase costs changed over time rather than only today's Cost per item.
- Stocky
- Stocky stored costing/reporting history including average unit cost workflows.
- Shopify nowNative — workflow differs
- Shopify has purchase-order cost reporting, while each variant still has a single static Cost per item. Historical Stocky cost data must be exported if merchants want to preserve it.
- Salor InvoiceAvailable
- Salor Invoice already keeps product cost history from processed supplier invoices.
Costs & financial accuracy
PO vs supplier-invoice reconciliation
Be the first to vote
Compare what was ordered and received against what the supplier actually invoiced.
- Stocky
- Stocky purchasing/costing workflows provided richer purchasing context around receipts and costs.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify documents ordered-vs-received reporting. For vendor invoices, it instructs merchants to export CSV and multiply received quantities by invoice prices in a spreadsheet.
- Salor InvoiceFuture
- This is a strong logical expansion of Salor's invoice extraction and financial validation engine.
Purchase orders & receiving
Purchase-order API / integrations
Be the first to vote
Connect external procurement systems or apps directly to Shopify purchase orders.
- Stocky
- Stocky integrations relying on Stocky APIs stop working after the sunset.
- Shopify nowSpecialist app / custom workflow
- Shopify says Transfers API is available, while purchase-order APIs aren't currently available and are under consideration.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Salor can evolve around invoice/receiving reconciliation without becoming a general PO integration platform.
Inventory operations
Full-location stocktakes
Be the first to vote
Run a controlled full-store inventory count with a clear audit trail.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported stocktakes, including barcode-scanner workflows.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify POS Quick Count supports spot checks up to 1,000 items. Shopify describes a CSV/offline process or third-party app for full-location audit-style stocktakes.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Stocktakes are intentionally outside Salor Invoice's core product direction.
Data & integrations
Historical Stocky PO migration
Be the first to vote
Preserve old purchase-order history, statuses, receipts and supplier context.
- Stocky
- Historical POs remain in Stocky records.
- Shopify nowMigration-only gap
- Shopify says historical Stocky POs don't automatically migrate and cannot be imported with past statuses, received quantities or supplier links.
- Salor Invoice
- A Stocky/CSV historical import is a time-sensitive candidate for seeding Salor cost history where the export contains usable data.
Data & integrations
Supplier-data migration
Be the first to vote
Move supplier records and supplier-product knowledge out of Stocky.
- Stocky
- Stocky stored detailed supplier information and supplier-product relationships.
- Shopify nowMigration-only gap
- Shopify explicitly says suppliers can't be exported from Stocky, so merchants must reconstruct the supplier information they still need.
- Salor Invoice
- Salor detects suppliers and keeps supplier-scoped invoice/product history, but it is not a complete supplier-master migration utility today.
Costs & financial accuracy
Supplier invoice → Shopify cost update
Be the first to vote
Review the supplier's actual invoice price and update Shopify Cost per item without spreadsheet reconciliation.
- Stocky
- Stocky had purchasing/cost workflows and could sync average unit costs back to Shopify.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify says Cost per item remains static when receiving. Vendor-invoice reconciliation is described as a CSV/spreadsheet process, while richer costing may require a third-party app.
- Salor InvoiceAvailable
- This is a core Salor Invoice workflow: extract invoice cost, match the product, review the change and apply the approved Cost per item update.
Purchase orders & receiving
Supplier invoice → inventory receiving
Be the first to vote
Turn reviewed supplier invoice quantities into inventory received at the correct Shopify location.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported receiving inventory against supplier purchasing workflows.
- Shopify nowNative — workflow differs
- Shopify supports native PO/transfer receiving. Invoice-led receiving is a different workflow rather than the native PO-first model.
- Salor InvoiceAvailable
- Salor Invoice can apply reviewed invoice quantities to the selected Shopify receiving location.
Suppliers & purchasing data
Supplier currency defaults
Be the first to vote
Remember a supplier's usual currency instead of re-entering currency settings order by order.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported supplier-level currencies and conversion to base currency.
- Shopify nowNative — workflow differs
- Shopify POs support supplier currency and payment terms, but these are saved on each purchase order rather than as defaults on the supplier profile.
- Salor InvoiceUnder consideration
- Salor is currency-aware today but does not provide a full supplier FX/default-currency procurement workflow.
Suppliers & purchasing data
Supplier spend analytics
Be the first to vote
See total purchasing spend and cost trends by supplier.
- Stocky
- Stocky included supplier and purchasing reporting workflows.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify says there isn't a dedicated native report for total purchase-order spend by supplier; merchants can export analytics or use external tools.
- Salor InvoiceUnder consideration
- Supplier spend and cost analytics are a logical extension of Salor's invoice history.
Purchase orders & receiving
Purchase-order receiving
Be the first to vote
Receive incoming supplier inventory against a purchase order.
- Stocky
- Core Stocky workflow.
- Shopify nowNative
- Shopify now supports purchase orders and receiving through the linked inventory transfer.
- Salor Invoice
- Salor can receive reviewed invoice quantities into Shopify locations, but it does not manage the full native PO lifecycle.
Purchase orders & receiving
Barcode labels from receiving
Be the first to vote
Print labels for newly received items directly from the receiving workflow.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported barcode-based receiving and label-oriented retail workflows.
- Shopify nowPartial / manual
- Shopify supports Retail Barcode Labels, but labels aren't printed directly from the PO screen and large partial receipts can require CSV/spreadsheet handling or another app.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Label printing is outside Salor Invoice's supplier-invoice intelligence focus.
Forecasting & replenishment
Reorder / forecasting suggestions
Be the first to vote
Use sales and inventory data to decide what to reorder and how much.
- Stocky
- Stocky included low-stock/replenishment reporting and purchasing planning.
- Shopify nowNative — workflow differs
- Shopify recommends Sidekick for inventory analysis, demand suggestions and drafting purchase orders/transfers, plus Flow for low-stock automation.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Forecasting is better served by Shopify or specialist planning tools than by Salor Invoice.
Inventory operations
Multi-location transfers
Be the first to vote
Move stock between stores or warehouses and track what is sent and received.
- Stocky
- Stocky supported transfer workflows.
- Shopify nowNative
- Shopify supports creating, sending, receiving and tracking inventory transfers, including partial deliveries.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Salor supports receiving invoice quantities into selected locations but is not a transfer-management product.
Inventory operations
Inventory adjustment history
Be the first to vote
See what changed, why it changed, and who made the inventory adjustment.
- Stocky
- Inventory history/reporting was part of the broader Stocky inventory workflow.
- Shopify nowNative
- Shopify provides inventory adjustment history, reasons, staff actions and custom reporting.
- Salor InvoiceNot a Salor focus
- Shopify's native audit/history tooling is the preferred owner of this workflow.
What did we miss?
Stocky workflows varied widely between stores. If your team still depends on something that isn't listed, tell us what it is and how you used it.
Where Salor Invoice fits
Salor Invoice does not aim to replace Stocky end to end.
It focuses on the supplier-document side of Shopify inventory: extracting supplier invoices, matching invoice lines to Shopify products, reviewing cost and quantity changes, receiving inventory into the selected location, and keeping product-cost history.
That makes it relevant to some of the costing and receiving gaps above — not forecasting, stocktakes or full purchase-order management.

We built this tracker from Shopify's published Stocky migration guidance, documented Stocky workflows, merchant feedback, and our own work building supplier-invoice tooling for Shopify.
Vote totals represent visitors to this page. They are directional and are not a statistically representative survey of all Shopify merchants.
Salorworks builds Salor Invoice, so supplier-invoice, receiving and cost workflows overlap with our product. We label Salor's current capabilities separately and explicitly mark areas that are not part of our product focus.
