The 10 Best Purchase Order Apps for Shopify
The top 10 apps merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for purchase order, in the exact order the store ranks them. Only Shopify's organic ranking is shown, never sponsored ads.
Updated September 8, 2026 · Organic rankingShopify now has purchase orders of its own. You can record what you agreed with a supplier, with products, quantities, costs and payment terms, keep supplier records with their contacts and currency, import the lines from a spreadsheet, and receive the stock through a transfer that updates inventory. That is more than this category usually acknowledges, and it arrived while Shopify was retiring its older point-of-sale purchasing tool, which is why so many listings here are pitched as replacements for it.
What the native feature does not do marks out the rest. It will not email a purchase order to your supplier, it will not import your history from wherever the orders live now, and it has no spend-by-supplier reporting or landed-cost allocation, for which Shopify's own documentation points at a third-party app. Stock on an unreceived order sits as incoming and is not sellable until it arrives.

What to look for in a Purchase Order app
- Try the built-in one first, deliberately
- This is a recent addition and a lot of advice about it predates its existence, including some of the listings. Raise one real purchase order natively before you shop, because the honest gap may be narrow enough that you only need the emailing, and that is not worth a subscription on its own.
- Landed cost is the real dividing line
- If your goods carry freight, duty and handling before they reach a shelf, the unit cost you report is wrong unless something allocates those across the lines. Shopify does not, and says so. That single capability separates a purchase order tool from a bookkeeping one, and it is what makes your margin figures true.
- How history comes across
- Suppliers and past orders do not migrate automatically from the retired tool or from a spreadsheet, so ask what an import accepts and how much of your history you genuinely need. Answering the second question honestly usually shrinks the first considerably.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?
Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn
the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use,
and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must
integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through
installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring
ones with the badge is a safe default.
