​
Install from the Shopify App Store

  1. Find Stockful in the Shopify App Store or search for it from your Shopify admin
  2. Click Add app, review the permissions, and click Install app
Stockful uses read access for most data. Write permissions are requested for product metafield definitions (used for custom filtering) and inventory transfers (used for acting on transfer suggestions).

​
Choose a plan

After installing, you’ll be asked to choose a plan. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See Plans & Billing for details on pricing and limits.

​
Complete the setup wizard

The setup wizard walks you through a few quick steps before tracking begins:
  1. Sync store data - Stockful pulls your locations and product categories from Shopify (takes a few seconds)
  2. Choose locations - select which locations you want to track
  3. Set thresholds - configure your low stock and overstock thresholds, exclusion rules, and valuation mode
  4. Forecasting - set your lead time, safety stock buffer, and restock strategy so forecasts match your supply chain
  5. Storefront data (optional) - expose stock status, urgency, and availability on your storefront via Shopify metafields. See Storefront Data for details
  6. Connect Slack (optional) - link your Slack workspace to receive stock alerts in a channel
  7. Start tracking - click the button and Stockful begins importing your full inventory data
You can change any of these settings later in Settings. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - just pick sensible defaults and adjust as you go.

​
The initial sync

After you click “Start tracking,” Stockful imports your products, variants, and current stock levels. This runs in the background - you’ll see a progress banner at the top of the app.
Store sizeEstimated time
Under 1,000 variantsUnder 1 minute
1,000–10,000 variants1–5 minutes
10,000–50,000 variants5–15 minutes
50,000+ variants15–30 minutes
Once the sync finishes, Stockful switches to real-time tracking. Every inventory change from that point forward is recorded automatically - no action needed from you.
Stockful can only track changes from the moment it’s installed. Historical data from before installation isn’t available.

​
Uninstalling

To remove Stockful, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels in your Shopify admin and click Remove app.
Your data is retained for 48 hours after uninstalling in case you change your mind. If you reinstall within that window, your history will be restored. After 48 hours, all data is permanently deleted. Export any reports you want to keep before removing the app.
