Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify 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.
Selling electronics, tools or equipment means customers ask about warranties, returns and recalls by serial number. Serialwise records the serial of every unit: scan or type it when you pack the order, or fill it from serials received into stock. Each serial is saved on the Shopify order, ready for packing slips. Search any serial to see its order, sale date and warranty end.
- 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
- Scan, type or fill a serial for every unit when you pack an order
- Serials saved on the Shopify order and printable on packing slips
- Serial lookup with order, sale date and warranty end date
- Receive serials into stock; new deliveries update Shopify stock
