Product Expiry for WooCommerce

Product Expiry for WooCommerce gives every product and variation in your store an expiry date. When the date hits, the plugin can flip the product to out-of-stock, move it to draft, or fire an email notification. No manual cleanup, no forgotten sale items haunting your catalog. Perfect for stores selling perishable goods, time-limited offers, seasonal inventory, digital licenses, event tickets, or anything with a shelf life. 🔗 Quick Links Documentation · Live Details · Upgrade to Pro 🛠️ Typical Use Cases
