See every featureBatchly gives Shopify merchants complete batch management without leaving their store. Whether you sell food & beverages, cosmetics, supplements, pet products, or pharmaceuticals, Batchly lets you track lot numbers, monitor expiration dates, allocate inventory to orders, and manage recalls — all with enterprise-grade traceability built natively on Shopify. No external WMS. No complicated setup.
Expired stock is money thrown away, and without lot numbers a recall means guessing. Freshwise records the lot and expiry date of every delivery, adds the units to Shopify stock, and assigns each order to the batch that expires first. One screen shows what has expired and what expires soon, with its value.
- Track batches with lot numbers, expiration dates, and quantities per location.
- Allocate batches via FIFO or FEFO — configurable per product, not per store.
- Monitor expiring stock, detect discrepancies, and export activity logs.
- Identify all orders and customers affected by a lot for instant recall.
- Lot numbers and expiry dates per product, variant and location
- Orders take the batch that expires first; returns go back to their batch
- Expired and expiring-soon stock with its value at cost
- One-click discounts for near-expiry stock; write-offs update Shopify stock
