Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureExpired 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.
Built for food, cosmetics and supplement stores. Record a lot number and expiry date when stock arrives, and LotGuard allocates every new order from the lot that expires soonest, so older stock leaves first and less is thrown away. Alerts warn you days before a lot expires, at the timing you choose.
- 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
- FEFO auto-allocation: every order ships from the lot expiring soonest
- Expiry alerts at the timing you choose, before stock turns into waste
- Recall mode: find every order a lot shipped in and export a customer CSV
- Start from your spreadsheet: import existing lots in one CSV upload
