How it sells itself

FlowStock keeps your inventory in sync with your suppliers. Every automation gets its own email address. Give it to your supplier, and each stock file they send is processed automatically: FlowStock reads SKUs and quantities from XML, CSV, or Excel feeds and updates inventory at the location you choose.

Moving off Stocky? StockFlow covers purchase orders, stock counts, low-stock alerts and multi-location inventory for Shopify stores. Out of stock on bestsellers, overstocked on the rest? StockFlow gives small and growing Shopify stores one simple place to manage purchase orders, receive stock by barcode scan, count inventory from your phone and get alerts before you run out, synced across every location.

Key points
  • Give each supplier a unique email address that receives and syncs stock feeds
  • Import XML, CSV, and Excel feeds, or fetch stock files from a Dropbox link
  • Match feed SKUs to variants and update quantities at the location you choose
  • Update prices, barcodes, tags, status, and metafields in the same sync
  • Sync Shopify products and stock levels across locations
  • Scan barcodes to receive, count and move stock from your phone
  • Track stock across multiple warehouses, shops and storage locations
  • Build finished products from components with bills of materials

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026 for FlowStock, Oct 22, 2026 for StockFlow. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
