For shopify POS shops that lost Stocky
Purchase orders, receiving by barcode scan, and stocktakes for shops that order from suppliers.
Purser keeps purchase orders by supplier, with each line's quantity and cost. Receive by barcode scan: each scan adds one to the order line and one to the shelf in Shopify. Run stocktakes by scan or by hand, see the difference in units and dollars, and apply it. Set reorder points and quantities in whole cases, with each supplier's lead time and minimum. It flags shared barcodes, stock below zero, over-received lines, late orders, low stock with nothing on order, and drifting costs.
On its way to the Shopify App Store. Write to us and we will set your store up first - it is billed through your Shopify bill, like any app.
The problem
Purser keeps purchase orders by supplier, with each line's quantity and cost.
Stocky (re-opened 2026-10-16) is gone: Shopify's help page says it "will no longer be available after August 31st, 2026", can no longer be installed, and points merchants at Shopify's own inventory features without saying which Stocky jobs they replace. Its App Store listing was 3.0 stars from 211 reviews, 28% one-star — merchants used it because it came free with POS Pro, not because it was loved. Purser does the three jobs a counter-and-stockroom shop needs, and checks them.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?
