About Super Duper MHD Assistant
From the official readme · v1.2.7Description
Super Duper MHD Assistant lets shop owners display best-before dates (“MHD” = Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum) on their WooCommerce products. It is especially useful for online shops selling food, cosmetics, supplements or any other products with a limited shelf life.
🇨🇭🇩🇪🇦🇹 Note for DACH users: the plugin interface and support are available in German (Switzerland, Germany, Austria). All texts and settings are fully translated into German.
Features
- Best-before display for simple products – one best-before date per product
- Best-before display for variable products – the matching date for the selected variation
- Automatic expiry discount – optional price reduction for products whose best-before date is approaching (from X days/weeks before the date → Y %)
- “Sell after best-before” grace period – configure how many days past the best-before date a product may still be sold; afterwards it is treated as expired
- Fully customizable appearance – colors, font sizes, font weights and spacing
- Live preview – see changes immediately
- Shortcode support – flexible placement with
[sdmhda_mhd]for maximum compatibility - Theme compatible – works with all WooCommerce themes, including Elementor and page builders
- German localization – complete translations for Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Pro version
A separate Pro version is available directly from Super Duper Plugins (superduperplugins.ch). It is a standalone plugin that you install over this free version – same plugin, your settings are kept – and it adds:
- Batch / LOT management with FEFO stock control – multiple batches per product/variation with LOT number, best-before date and stock; on sale the batch with the earliest best-before date is reduced first (First Expired, First Out) and the WooCommerce stock is kept in sync
- Batch overview – a dashboard widget and an overview page for soon-expiring batches
- Multiple discount tiers – e.g. 4 weeks → 20 %, 2 weeks → 30 %, 3 days → 50 %
- Display modes for several best-before dates – only when a batch runs low, or all batches in stock
- Quantity per best-before date – show the available quantity per date, with its own styling
- Daily e-mail notification about expiring batches
The Pro version is distributed by Super Duper Plugins and is not hosted on WordPress.org.
Appearance options
- Customizable label and value colors (with color picker and hex input)
- Configurable font sizes (10–24 px)
- Different font weights (normal, bold, lighter)
- Individual top and bottom spacing (0–50 px)
- Live preview of all changes
Shortcode usage
Use the shortcode [sdmhda_mhd] for maximum flexibility:
- Place the best-before date exactly where you want it
- Ideal for custom themes or page builders
- A reliable solution for display issues
External services
This free version does not connect to any external services. It runs entirely on your own site.
(The separate Pro version contacts the Super Duper Plugins license server only to validate a Pro license key; that is documented with the Pro version.)

Frequently asked questions
The best-before date is not shown, what can I do?
Use the shortcode [sdmhda_mhd] and place it where you want on your product page (theme or page builder). Also check that best-before is enabled and a date is set, and clear any caches.
Does the plugin work with variable products?
Yes. For variable products the best-before date appears once the customer selects a variation – showing the date of exactly that variation. Each variation can have its own date.
Can I customize the appearance?
Yes, under MHD Assistant > Settings: colors, font sizes, font weights and spacing – with a live preview.
Is there a Pro version with batch tracking?
Yes. Batch/LOT management with FEFO stock control, a batch overview, multiple discount tiers, additional display modes and a daily e-mail notification are available in the separate Pro version from superduperplugins.ch. It installs over this free version and is not hosted on WordPress.org.
Is the plugin translation ready?
Yes. Complete translations for German (Germany, Austria, Switzerland – formal and informal) are included. Additional languages can be added through the standard WordPress localization.
