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.
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.
- 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
- 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
