For consumables and produced goods, the batch is the unit of traceability. SerializeIt lets Shopify merchants tag orders with lot or batch codes and expiry dates, so when a batch has an issue you can identify every affected customer in seconds instead of guessing — and prove your traceability when it matters.
Why lot tracking is hard in plain Shopify
Shopify treats every unit of a product the same, which breaks batch traceability:
- ✕No lot/batch field — you can’t tell which production batch a given order came from.
- ✕Expiry and best-before dates have nowhere structured to live.
- ✕A quality issue in one batch means a blanket recall because you can’t isolate who got it.
- ✕Proving first-expiry-first-out or batch history to a buyer or auditor is manual and slow.
How SerializeIt handles lots & batches
Batch-level traceability that plugs into your existing Shopify orders:
Lot & batch codes
Assign a lot or batch code to the items in an order and keep it linked to the customer and ship date.
Expiry & best-before dates
Store expiry dates per batch so you can manage rotation and avoid shipping out-of-date stock.
Trace a batch to its customers
Search any lot code to instantly list every order and customer that received it — the foundation of a fast, targeted recall.
Custom formats & fields
Encode production date, line or facility into your batch codes and add any custom data your process needs.
CSV export for traceability
Export batch distribution records to CSV for audits, buyers or your own quality records.
