How to manage purchasing and receiving on Shopify POS. Stock Takes by Pimsical, The Stocky Replacement

Only 7 weeks to go until Stocky shuts down. Is your Shopify business ready?
Stock Takes by Pimsical, the stocky replacement.

Promotional graphic for the DOTDEV 2026 conference in Toronto, July 21–22, hosted by Shopify. The design features bold orange and dark teal blocks with geometric shapes. The headline reads “Don’t over (p)react: Welcome to web components.” Below, the speaker’s name “Jordan Finneran” and title “Founder @ Pimiscal” appear beside a grayscale photo of Jordan smiling outdoors in front of a stone building.

The screen shows an “Open app” button in the top‑right corner and a search bar labeled “Search Stock Take.” Below, the actions are listed as individual rows: Check if Shopify transfer is acting as a purchase order, Create available stock levels report, Create low stock report, Create purchase order, Create stock take, Create stock take adjustments report, Create stock take counts report, Create stock take scans report, Create transfer order, Generate purchase order line items, and Generate transfer order line items.

Below the filters is a table of transfer records between store locations, each labelled with source, destination, name and status such as Completed or Cancelled.

5 star review left by My Urban Toddler Kid's Clothing on the PML Stock Take (Inventory Count) app.
"We switched our point of sale from Lightspeed to Shopify, and this was our first official inventory of the whole store. Using this app was incredibly easy and our whole team could participate making the timeframe of it manageable. Jordan was able to answer questions for me quickly and overall, it was an excellent experience. We are scaling our online business and having the right inventory numbers is essential to our success. We will continue to utilize this tool to do periodic stock takes. Very easy to use and we highly recommend."

Peak season is just around the corner (some might say it has already started). If you’ve ever worked in retail, when I say “it’s intense”, you know exactly what I mean.

The holiday season is high-stakes: foot traffic is nonstop, promos stack up, and new team members join every week. Retailers are asking a lot of their store associates.

There’s only one way it goes off without a hitch: every person, every system, and every partner has to work together.

Partners have built hundreds of UI extensions for Shopify POS that make peak season better for retailers. A few to put on your radar:
* Easyteam - Staff scheduling
* Grapevine Post Purchase Surveys - Customer feedback
* Simple Bundles by Freshly Commerce - Gift bundles
* Pimsical - Inventory management for multi-location retailers
* Zapiet - Local pickup options
* Discount Kit - Promotions that protect your margin

And that’s just scratching the surface...

More than stock taking, we now handle stock takes, inventory counts, store transfers, replenishments, cycle counting and all built for Shopify POS.

Screenshot of a new Shopify app store review. 5 stars. We absolutely love PML Stock Take! It’s flexible, accurate, and easy to use—whether doing full counts, cycle counts, or stock transfers. The new replenishment/transfer tool is brilliant, letting us move stock store‑to‑store or warehouse‑to‑store with barcode precision. CSV reporting keeps us organized. But best of all is Jordan’s support—he’s promptly added features based on our needs and works hard to make the app truly functional. Highly recommend for any growing, multi‑location retailer like us!

A 5 start review from the Shopify app store. "We started using PLM Stock Take in January and have loved the ease and efficiency of the app. Any time that we have a question, Justin has been readily available to answer and give a full, helpful answer. This app is a must for stores to keep inventory in check!"
