Purchase order app that integrate with shopify PO

Shopify Apps

Hi everyone,

I’m currently transitioning away from a traditional inventory management system that includes purchase orders and receiving, and I’m considering using Shopify as my primary inventory system. However, I’ve found that Shopify lacks several key features out of the box.

I’m torn between moving to a more comprehensive inventory platform like Linnworks or staying with Shopify and using third-party apps to fill the gaps.

Specifically, I’m looking for a purchase order system that allows me to:

  • Scan barcodes to create and receive POs in one step or two steps

  • Generate actual purchase orders within Shopify (not just add quantities)

  • Link received inventory to invoices and export data to QuickBooks

  • Track detailed item history (receiving, adjustments, shrinkage, audits, etc.)

Apps like Stocky haven’t worked well for me, and StockSavvy doesn’t fully meet my needs since it doesn’t create purchase orders or proper receiving records—it only adjusts quantities.

If anyone has a recommendation for an app that can handle all or most of these requirements, I’d really appreciate it. I’ll also be posting about other functionalities I’m looking for soon.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bobby

that’s what i am debating, either use shopify as my base inventory and add apps to fill n the gaps , or go with a company similar to Linnworks

i been on that system since 2019 till this January, they stop updating specific API categories related to my business, so i switch to another company, i took my time to do the move and they added many custom functionalities, and after several months, we went live on January , and since than notihing was working right, nightmare! , Linnworks seems stable, however they do not have many customers in my industry (brand name shoes) and they are not cheap and they require a one year contract, so i am was thinking to see if shopify in addition of some apps, will do what i need, since i must leave my current system ASAP, i do not want to rush into signing with Linnworks

so this is what i was thinking to do

Inventory - Shopify

Managing my Metafileds - Metafiled guro

Selling Channels - Sedcommerce - cost $300

POS - Using either Lighspeed or Shopify Pos

Purchase Order - currently using stock savvy - not happy with them cost $40

Reports - i need some goo d report system that can offer me matrix view for products sold/oh/received - need to find an app

Importing new Products Via excel - Matrixify - they are ok but cost $50

Integration with my QB - i need to record sales and purchases , COGS into my QB i assume intuit will have an app , but i need also to import products received into shopify

so i assume i would probably need more apps or tools
