Shopify is retiring Stocky on 31 August 2026. If you've been running purchasing or stocktakes through it, you've got a decision to make. We've written a straight, no-sales-pitch guide to your options, from a simple native app to a full inventory system like Cin7 Core, and how to tell which one your store actually needs.

Thinking about Cin7 Core but not sure what to budget for? The subscription is the easy part.

The full picture includes three things: ongoing subscription costs, setup fees, and time. We've covered all three in a new post, including what Cin7's own USD $2,000 onboarding service covers, what a partner-led implementation costs and involves, and when you can realistically expect to see a return.
