About this plugin
Track your WooCommerce products by batch number and expiry date — right from the product edit page.
Webis Batch & Expiration Tracking for WooCommerce gives store owners a simple, built-in way to split product inventory into batches, assign expiry dates, and monitor what’s expiring soon — without leaving your existing workflow.
Who Is This For?
Store owners selling perishable or regulated goods — food, cosmetics, supplements, beverages, medicine — who need to track inventory by batch or expiry date before committing to a paid solution.
Free Features
- Batch & Expiry Tracking — Add batch entries directly on the product edit page (Inventory tab). Each entry stores batch number, batch date, quantity, and supplier.
- Variable Product Support — Track batches independently per variation.
- Expiry Report Dashboard — See all products with upcoming expiry dates, color-coded by urgency.
- Batch Report Dashboard — Browse all batch records sorted by batch date.
- Order Batch Search — Search WooCommerce orders by batch number, including HPOS support.
- Expiry Date Display — Optionally show the expiry date on the product page for customers, with configurable date format and lead time.
How to Set It Up
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to any product edit page → Inventory tab → enable “Enable Expiry & Batch Tracking”.
- Fill in the batch table with your batch entries.
- Use the Batch & Expiration Dashboard (under Products menu) to monitor stock.
Use Case Example
You have 100 bags of coffee: 40 units expire in 30 days, the other 60 expire next year. Enter two batch entries with different quantities and expiry dates. The Expiry Report immediately flags the 40 at-risk units so you can plan promotions in time.
Why We Built This
We needed a straightforward way to track perishable inventory in our own WooCommerce store. Existing plugins were either too complex, incomplete, or no longer maintained. So we built our own — and made it available to the community.
