How it sells itself

A Stocky alternative for the whole reorder loop. It emails you when something needs ordering before a delivery could arrive, and stays quiet when nothing does. Moving from Stocky? Bring in your purchase order export: suppliers, costs and real lead times come with you, free on every plan. Raise purchase orders, add freight and duty, email them to suppliers, and receive stock back into Shopify.

Most inventory apps calculate velocity on your full sales history — including days when your product was out of stock. That skews every forecast. StockPilot only counts days where stock was available, so your reorder suggestions are based on accurate data. Connect to Shopify and get your first insights in minutes. No spreadsheets, no configuration, no learning curve.

Key points
  • Stockout dates for every product, based on your real sales velocity
  • Reorder quantities that account for supplier lead time and stock cover
  • Urgency ranking that puts today's purchase decisions at the top
  • Stockout prediction based on real sales velocity — not distorted data
  • Reorder quantity suggestions with lead time and coverage
  • ABC product classification by revenue contribution
  • Low-stock email alerts before you run out

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. 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.
