WooCommerce Product Batch Numbers 3.4.0

WooCommerce Product Batch Numbers helps you track and manage batch (lot) numbers directly inside your WooCommerce store. If you sell products that come with lots—like food, supplements, or other batch-controlled inventory—this plugin keeps your records aligned with what you ship.

You can assign batch numbers to simple products and to variations, including details such as expiration dates and suppliers. The plugin is lightweight and integrates into the existing WooCommerce inventory workflow, so you can manage batches without changing your current setup.

When orders are placed, batch assignment is handled automatically using FIFO (First In, First Out). You can also review and manually adjust batch distribution on a per order/item basis when needed.

Main Features

• Product-level batch management — Assign batch/lot numbers in the WooCommerce inventory area for each product.
• Variation-level lot tracking — Manage separate batch tables for variable products at the variation level.
• Expiration date fields — Store expiration dates to keep inventory and shelf-life information clear.
• Supplier information — Record supplier details alongside batch numbers for better traceability.
• Availability-aware tracking — Tie batch records to availability so stock handling stays accurate.
• Automatic FIFO batch distribution — Automatically assign batches to orders using First In, First Out principles.
• Per-order/manual batch adjustments — Override FIFO assignment on a per order/item basis when required.
• Works with existing WooCommerce products — Use with newly created and existing simple or variable products.

Benefits

• Better compliance readiness — Maintain traceable lot details like expiration dates and suppliers for batch-controlled products.
• Reduced fulfillment errors — Let FIFO assign the correct batches to orders based on your batch history.
• Clearer stock visibility — Track batch availability so your inventory reflects what’s actually sellable.
• Improved order handling — Adjust assignments only when necessary, without reworking your overall process.
• More reliable customer outcomes — Support accurate shipments by keeping batch and variation tracking consistent.
