DeDanix Expiry, Batch & Recall for WooCommerce

DeDanix Expiry, Batch & Recall for WooCommerce helps stores keep expiry dates visible, searchable, and actionable inside WooCommerce. WooCommerce can manage stock at the product level, but many stores also need to know when products expire. Food shops, supplement stores, cosmetics sellers, natural product stores, light pharmacy catalogs, chemical supplies, spare parts, tickets, licenses, and other time-sensitive products can all benefit from a simple expiry control layer. This Free edition focuses on product and variation expiry dates:

• Manage expiry dates for WooCommerce products and variations from the dedicated DeDanix Expiry Hub.
• Search by product name, SKU, barcode, or QR code without using WooCommerce product edit screens.
• Review expired, expiring soon, valid, or missing-date products from one operational workspace.
• Import expiry dates by CSV using SKU or product ID.
• Export all expiry records or focused expired-product reports in a spreadsheet-ready CSV.
• Review recent expiry-date changes from the Hub.
• Prevent customers from purchasing expired products.
• Optionally mark expired products out of stock or move them to draft.
• Send daily admin alerts for expired and soon-to-expire products.
• Optionally show expiry dates on product pages.

Built for a clear Free workflow Use the plugin in three simple steps:

1. Open DeDanix Expiry and find a product by name, SKU, barcode, or QR code.
2. Set expiry dates for the product or its variations, or import them from CSV.
3. Decide what happens when a product expires.

CSV expiry import The Free importer supports a lightweight product-level CSV workflow:

• Download the CSV template.
• Add SKU or product ID. The export uses the same columns, so it can be used as a starting point for a later import.
• Add expiry date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
• Preview the file before applying changes.
• Apply valid rows when the preview looks correct.

Batch and recall direction The product is designed with a future batch and recall workflow in mind. A future commercial add-on is planned for multiple batches per product, FEFO allocation, stock by batch, order-level batch traceability, recall lookup, customer recall emails, CSV export, dashboard reports, and bulk inventory import/export. The Free plugin does not claim to be an ERP. It is a focused WooCommerce expiry layer that stays lightweight and practical.
