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.
Shopify tracks how many units you have, not which production run they came from. There is no native field for a lot number or an expiry date. Lotwise adds both. It records the lot behind every order automatically, allocates stock first-expired-first-out, flags lots approaching expiry on a threshold you set, and exports the affected orders and customer emails when a lot is recalled.
- 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.
- Automatic FEFO allocation — every order draws from the earliest-expiring lot
- Recall export — the orders and customer emails that received an affected lot
- Expiry warnings before stock becomes unsellable, on a threshold you set
- Flags units that shipped without a lot, instead of quietly losing them
