If you are using the Pio x Shopify integration and need to track inventory in Pio by batch/lot number or expiration date, you can do this by tagging the products with predefined tags in Shopify.
Batch & Expiration tracking in Pio
How it works
Adding the tags listed below to any product in Shopify will automatically update the product settings in Pio. You can apply one or both of the tags to the same product.
