Stocky inventory transfers are gone: what replaced them

Before Stocky’s full shutdown on August 31, 2026, one piece went away early: inventory transfers were removed in July 2025. If you used Stocky to move stock between locations, you’ve already felt this gap. Here’s what changed and how to handle it now.

What was removed

Stocky’s transfers let you move inventory from one location to another and track it in transit. That feature was retired in July 2025, so transfers created in Stocky no longer work and can’t be created. It was an early signal of the wider deprecation that follows in August 2026.

Two ways to replace it

Shopify has a basic built-in option: Products → Transfers in the admin lets you move quantities between locations with expected counts, or you can adjust a variant’s inventory per location directly for quick one-off moves. It works, but it’s a raw inventory edit with no protection — nothing stops you from sending more than a location actually has, which just pushes that location’s count negative.

Reorda now has its own stock transfers with the same send/receive shape as a purchase order: inventory debits from the source the moment you send, credits to the destination as it’s actually received (partial receiving included), and a real-time availability check that blocks a send before it would take a location negative.

Where this leaves your purchasing workflow

Transfers are only one half of multi-location. The other half is receiving new stock from suppliers into the right location. Reorda lets you choose which location a purchase order is received into, so incoming stock lands in the correct place and Shopify inventory updates automatically — and stock sitting in transit between your own locations doesn’t get double-counted as something you need to reorder from a supplier.
