About PODesk

We're on a mission to make purchase order management free and simple for every Shopify merchant.

Our Story

In early 2026, Shopify announced that Stocky — their native purchase order and inventory management app — would be discontinued on August 31, 2026. Millions of merchants who relied on Stocky for their daily procurement workflow were left scrambling for alternatives.

The alternatives that existed were expensive ($50–$120/month), complicated to set up, and didn't integrate natively with Shopify the way Stocky did.

PODesk was born out of this gap. Built by PO Desk, PODesk is a Shopify-native purchase order app that gives every merchant — from solo dropshippers to growing brands — the tools to manage suppliers, create professional POs, and never run out of stock.

We believe every Shopify merchant deserves access to proper procurement tools, regardless of budget. That's why our core features are available for free.

What We Believe

Free First

Core features should be accessible to every merchant, not just those who can afford $100+/month.

Speed Matters

Creating a purchase order should take 30 seconds, not 30 minutes. Every feature is designed for speed.

Production-Grade

AES-256 encryption, multi-tenant isolation, 118 automated tests — we build for scale from day one.

Merchant-Driven

Every feature comes from real merchant feedback. We listen, we build, we ship fast.
