How do I use Stocky with Shopify?

To use Stocky in your store you have two options, firstly it is possible to do the inventory manually, alternatively you can do the whole thing with a barcode scanner, which reduces the amount of work.

Stocky - Manual inventory

If you don't have a barcode scanner, inventory is done manually with the app, which means Stocky shows you the target quantity of products in Shopify POS, you manually count the available products and reconcile the numbers.

Stocky - Barcode Inventory

In the variant with barcode scanner, all existing products are scanned once. After that, you will also see the target and actual values. Afterwards, the values can be adjusted. In addition, reasons for the difference can be given and the employee who performed the inventory can be noted. 

After the inventory, the stock is at the current level and updates automatically when products are sold.

All inventories are of course stored in the Stocky app, so the app should never be deactivated, otherwise the data will be lost historically.
