Inventory only, or inventory plus pick and pack? How to choose a plan
A decision guide for Shopify brands: who needs pick waves, a pack station and labels in the same app as their planning, and who is better served by inventory alone.
Stokrio Team · · 5 min read
Stokrio has two plans for Shopify: Inventory, and Inventory + Pick + Pack. The difference is not size; it is which jobs you do yourself. This guide helps you choose.
Key takeaways
- If someone else ships your orders, Inventory is likely enough.
- If you pick, pack and label in your own space, the second plan removes a tool and a re-keying step.
- You can switch any time from the Plan page without reinstalling.
What each plan includes
| Inventory | Inventory + Pick + Pack | |
|---|---|---|
| Forecasting, replenishment, alerts | Yes | Yes |
| Purchase orders and suppliers | Yes | Yes |
| Warehouses, bins, transfers and adjustments | Yes | Yes |
| Lots, expiry and serial numbers | Yes | Yes |
| Production work orders | Yes | Yes |
| Reports, API and MCP | Yes | Yes |
| Pick waves and walking-order pick lists | No | Yes |
| Pack station with scan verification | No | Yes |
| Australia Post labels and lodgement | No | Yes |
| Fulfilments sent back to Shopify | No | Yes |
Choose Inventory if
- A 3PL or a fulfilment partner ships your orders.
- You pack from a shelf of a few orders a day and Shopify's own fulfilment is enough.
- You are mainly replacing a reorder spreadsheet.
Choose Inventory + Pick + Pack if
- You ship from your own space or have a small team packing.
- You batch orders, or want to.
- You want an Australia Post label printed from the same screen as the pick.
- You are tired of fulfilling orders in Shopify by hand after packing.
Money
Inventory is $39 a month and Inventory + Pick + Pack is $69 a month, billed through Shopify in US dollars. Annual billing is ten months' price for twelve, so two months free. The extra is $30 a month for the floor tools.
Changing later
Open the Plan page, choose the other plan and approve the new charge on Shopify's page. Nothing is reinstalled and the pages for the new plan open straight away.
