See every featureSelling supplements, food, cosmetics or CBD? Every batch has a shelf life, and Shopify has nowhere to put it. Log a lot code, expiry date, quantity, supplier and COA link on any variant. The dashboard splits stock into expired, expiring soon and safe. FEFO tells pickers which batch to ship first and holds back expired ones. Email each location its own pull list. Write off expired units with confirmation and undo.
ExpiryGuard tracks expiration dates at the batch level — each delivery gets its own quantity and best-before date. FIFO auto-rotation ensures oldest stock ships first. Our dashboard shows total inventory "Value at Risk" and flags upcoming expiries before they become a problem. Expired products can be hidden from your storefront in one click. No complex WMS or batch codes required — just add a date and save.
