Leaving Stocky
An Automotive parts Stocky alternative that plans what to reorder
Shopify is retiring Stocky on August 31, 2026. For an automotive parts store, the useful question is not where to record stock, which Shopify's admin already covers, but how to know what to reorder, how much, and when. Replinish reads your Shopify sales history and forecasts demand per product, so the reorder list builds itself from data you already have.
What an automotive parts planner must do
Automotive parts span vast catalogues where the right part, missing, is a lost sale and an unhappy driver. Replinish sets a reorder point per SKU from sales rate and lead time, so the shelf stays stocked. The right tool takes that picture and turns it into a concrete next order: what to buy, in what quantity, and by when, with your supplier's lead time and any minimum order quantity applied.
Stocky vs Shopify vs Replinish
After Stocky closes on August 31, 2026, Shopify's admin covers the operational half of inventory (tracking, transfers, adjustments, basic purchase orders, low stock alerts). The planning half, forecasting, reorder points, lead times, and suggested quantities, is where a dedicated app fits.

Automotive parts Stocky alternative: questions
How does Replinish help a Automotive parts store decide what to reorder?
In automotive parts, fitment means a near-substitute is not a substitute, so the specific part has to be there. Replinish reads your catalogue, stock levels and up to 365 days of Shopify sales history, then works out how fast each product sells. From that it sets a reorder point per product and suggests an order quantity, with the four inputs behind every number shown so you can check it.
My Automotive parts suppliers have long or seasonal lead times. Can Replinish handle that?
Yes. Replinish stores a lead time per supplier and uses it to time each reorder so stock arrives before you run out. The sales rate behind it is weighted toward recent weeks, so it follows your demand as it moves, and because fitment means a near-substitute is not a substitute, so the specific part has to be there, you can adjust any lead time or safety cushion and watch the suggestion change.
Is Replinish safe to connect to my Automotive parts Shopify store?
Yes. Replinish is read-only: it reads your products, stock and orders through the Shopify Admin API and never writes them back. Your catalogue, inventory levels and customers in Shopify are never changed by Replinish.
What does Replinish cost for a Automotive parts store?
Replinish is Flow at $29 a month or Swell at $79 a month, both with a 14-day free trial and no annual contract. Billing runs through Shopify and appears on your existing invoice.
