After testing many apps since knowing about the Stocky demise, Channel Bay has the most complete and useful suite of purchase order tools we have found to replace it. We have been using Channel Bay to replace Stocky for purchase order creation and receiving in Shopify. It offers details in the on-screen display (such as being able to turn on/off which columns show in the individual PO Editing view) and being able to search for SKU, item or vendor in the overall PO List view. Both are great time savers. It also allows us to enter cost adjustments, discounts, and zero dollar items to the invoice/PO when we receive (many apps do not even offer those three options). As for support: Dominic and the support team acted quickly and implemented a simplified purchase order PDF export that we could send to suppliers. That level of support is outstanding!

If you're still on the fence about if this will be a seamless transition for you ... the Shopify QB connector app only works sometimes- we just fudge our accounting to make the numbers match for transactions that never come through, it uses Greenland time for all of its time stamps (meaning your transactions won't be spit up by day unless you're based in Greenland), Stocky only sometimes transfers information over with your purchase orders so you can match it up with bills to pay... I'm probably forgetting some things. The tech support is sometimes helpful (if you're willing to wait a week or two) or downright incompetent (the first call I made, the rep claimed that Shopify didn't even HAVE a connector app). Have fun!
