Reports & calendar

Overview

The Overview tab at Products → Expirations is your reporting dashboard. It gives you an at-a-glance picture of expiration across your whole catalog — summary stats, a filterable product list, and a month calendar — without opening individual products. It’s included in the free version.

Statistics

At the top of the page, stat cards summarize your catalog:

Products with expiration dates — how many products you’re tracking.
Expiring soon — products expiring within your expiring-soon threshold.
Expired — products whose date has already passed.
Value at risk — the stock value of products expiring within the expiring-soon window, so you can see the money tied up in soon-to-expire inventory. (This figure follows your configured expiring-soon threshold, not a fixed number of days.)

Filter tabs

Below the stats, a product table lists your dated products. Tabs filter the table:

All — every product with an expiration date.
Expiring soon — products within the expiring-soon window. In-stock only (out-of-stock items are excluded, matching what shoppers can still buy).
Expired — products already past their date, including out-of-stock ones.
Specific date — clicking a day in the calendar (below) filters the table to that exact date.

The table is sortable and paginated; when several products share the same date they’re ordered consistently so pages never overlap or drop a row.

Expiration calendar

The calendar shows a month view with a count on each day indicating how many products expire on that date.

Use the arrows to move between months.
Click any day to load that day’s products into the table above (the Specific date view).
Per-day counts are computed in your site’s timezone and cover your entire catalog, even on large stores.

How variable products are counted

Reports show one row per product. A variable product appears as a single entry, dated by its earliest variation date (or its default date if it only has a default set) — it is not listed once per variation, so counts and the calendar aren’t inflated. A variable product that’s dated only through its inherited default date still appears, so nothing is missed.

Exporting what you see

The Export button on the Import / Export page produces a CSV that matches the active tab — the same date filter and the same out-of-stock rules — so an “Expiring soon” export contains exactly the products on that tab. See Import & export for the file format.

The plugin also adds an Expiring products widget to your main WordPress Dashboard, listing your soonest-expiring products so you see what needs attention as soon as you log in — without visiting the Overview tab. It uses the same expiring-soon threshold and skips variations whose parent product isn’t published.
