About this plugin
Super Duper MHD Assistant lets shop owners display best-before dates (“MHD” = Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum) on their WooCommerce products. It is especially useful for online shops selling food, cosmetics, supplements or any other products with a limited shelf life.
🇨🇭🇩🇪🇦🇹 Note for DACH users: the plugin interface and support are available in German (Switzerland, Germany, Austria). All texts and settings are fully translated into German.
Features
- Best-before display for simple products – one best-before date per product
- Best-before display for variable products – the matching date for the selected variation
- Automatic expiry discount – optional price reduction for products whose best-before date is approaching (from X days/weeks before the date → Y %)
- “Sell after best-before” grace period – configure how many days past the best-before date a product may still be sold; afterwards it is treated as expired
- Fully customizable appearance – colors, font sizes, font weights and spacing
- Live preview – see changes immediately
- Shortcode support – flexible placement with [sdmhda_mhd] for maximum compatibility
- Theme compatible – works with all WooCommerce themes, including Elementor and page builders
