As many have already mentioned, BrickStore no longer imports store inventory
or orders so I decided to try BrickStock and it has no problem importing our
store inventory or store orders so a great work around.

You can download your XML inventory:
https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp

And the import this file in BrickStoRE.

BrickStock is a scam, NOT open source, not maintained and you don't know
where your data go.
It may also have problems (didn't test recently) with pics, price guides,
etc.
I would NOT use it.

BrickStock has been around for years and I have never had problems with it. I
know it is not maintained nearly as much as BrickStore so I pretty much use Brickstore
for everything except for one just thing that brickStock does a little better
then BrickStore.

BrickStock was used for years by the BrickLink community and I have never heard
it being classified as a scam. Do you have any info that shows that it is a scam?

Forgot to mention, thanks for the info on how to download my inventory into BrickStore.
All have to do is change it from .txt to .xml at the end.

You're welcome. And you don't even have to change the file extenstion,
simply on opening select "All files" in the bottom right of the open
file window

1) It has never been open source, so you have no idea what they do with your
credentials, orders download and shop inventory. You can wish and hope they don't
abuse, but we're all grown ups here.

2) It wasn't properly working last time I checked and they still accepted
(accept? didn't check) payments for it. I've also seen posts in forum
of people having paid and the licence or the program not working.

Wasn’t it built upon BrickStore?
Wasn’t BrickStore already GPL at the time?

Yes, quite a few threads about that here a few years ago.
