How to Export Suppliers from Stocky (Before the August 2026 Shutdown)

The problem: Stocky has no supplier export button

If you came looking for an export button, stop. It does not exist. Shopify's official transition documentation confirms that suppliers cannot be exported directly from Stocky. The doc, found at Shopify's transition guide, is blunt: there is no native path to get your supplier list out.

This matters because Stocky is being retired. The app was delisted on February 2, 2026. It stops working entirely on August 31, 2026. On that same day, the Stocky API goes offline. If you need your supplier list out before migration, you have two realistic paths.

Why the standard export tools fall short

Shopify's native CSV import for suppliers does not carry over purchase order data. According to the same transition doc, historical purchase orders cannot be imported into Shopify. The native CSV upload cannot carry PO statuses, received quantities, or supplier links.

So even if you managed to get suppliers into a CSV manually, the surrounding inventory context is lost in the move. You need to extract what you can, while you still can.

Option 1: Use the Stocky API manually

If you are technical, the Stocky API still exposes a read-only endpoint for suppliers:

GET /api/v2/suppliers.json

Steps:

1. Locate your Stocky API key in your Stocky settings.
2. Make an authenticated GET request to /api/v2/suppliers.json.
3. Parse the JSON response. Each supplier object contains fields like name, email, phone, address, and notes.
4. Convert to CSV or whatever format your migration target requires.

This works until August 31, 2026. After that, the API is gone.

Caveat: this assumes comfort with HTTP requests, authentication headers, and JSON parsing. If that is not you, read on.

Option 2: StockyLift (packaged, 2 minutes)

Full disclosure: I built StockyLift. It is an unofficial Chrome extension, not affiliated with or endorsed by Shopify.

StockyLift exists because there is no export button and the manual API route is friction for most store owners. Here is what it does:

• You paste your own Stocky API key into the extension.
• The extension calls GET /api/v2/suppliers.json through Stocky's official read-only API, entirely in your browser.
• Your supplier list renders on screen. No data leaves your browser. No servers involved.
• Free preview shows supplier count plus the first 3 rows before you pay anything.
• Exports include generic CSV (guaranteed) and JSON. Prediko, Inventory Planner, and Genie presets are currently labeled BETA because they have not been byte-verified against those apps' real import templates yet.

Pricing: $39 at launch, rising to $59 on August 10. A concierge done-for-you service is $149 if you want someone to handle the extraction for you.

Refund policy: full refund if StockyLift cannot export your suppliers cleanly.

It is the supplier export button Stocky never had. Two minutes, $39, your data never leaves your browser.

FAQ

Can I export suppliers from Stocky without any third-party tool?

No. Shopify's official documentation states that suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky. The API route is the only raw method, and it requires technical setup. See the Shopify transition doc.

Will my Stocky data disappear on August 31, 2026?

Not immediately. Shopify says read-only export access continues for at least 90 days after August 31, 2026. But the app and its API stop working on that date, so you lose operational access. Extract what you need before then.

Does StockyLift send my data to a server?

No. The extension runs entirely in your browser. It uses your own Stocky API key to fetch your supplier list locally. There are no servers in the middle. Data never leaves your browser session.

Can StockyLift export purchase orders too?

StockyLift focuses on the supplier list, which is the data Stocky provides no export button for. Historical purchase orders are a separate matter. Per Shopify's documentation, historical POs cannot be imported into Shopify's native system regardless of how you extract them.
