Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions merchants ask most often about reordering and stock counts.
Does Miko Restock: Inventory & PO change my Shopify inventory automatically?
Only when you tell it to, and only after a preview. Stock is written to Shopify when you receive a purchase order or apply a stocktake, and both show you the exact change before anything happens. The reports (Buy Sheet, Dead Money, Stockout Calendar) never change stock.
Do I need order history for the forecasting to work?
It is most accurate on stores with some sales history, and Miko imports up to a year of it on install. A brand-new store builds up recommendations as orders come in.
Does it work with multiple locations?
Yes. Miko reads inventory across all of your active locations on every plan, so the Buy Sheet reflects your true total stock. Purchase orders and stocktakes let you choose the location to receive into or count.
How is this different from Shopify's built-in purchase orders?
Shopify can record a purchase order. Miko Restock: Inventory & PO tells you what to put on it, how much, and when , from demand forecasting and supplier lead times , then splits it per supplier, picks the lowest cost, previews every change on receiving, and adds the Dead Money, Stockout, Cost Guard, and Autopilot intelligence on top.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Miko reads only order dates and line-item quantities , never customer names, emails, or addresses. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is deleted when you uninstall the app. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Where do I find the app?
From your Shopify admin, go to Apps → Miko Restock: Inventory & PO. The dashboard is the default view when you open the app.
