How Do I Get a Product SKU in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:14 pm

When you are setting up a new product in WooCommerce, one of the first things that you will need to do is set a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). This is a unique identifier for your product which will help you to keep track of your stock levels, and it will also be used by some shipping and payment providers. In this article, we will show you how to set a SKU for a new product in WooCommerce.

First, you will need to log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Products > Add New. On the Add New Product page, you will need to enter a title and description for your product.

Once you have done that, scroll down to the Product Data section and click on the SKU field. Here, you can enter a SKU for your product.

Note: If you leave the SKU field blank, WooCommerce will generate one automatically for you.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about getting a product SKU in WooCommerce, be warned that this is not possible. While WooCommerce does allow you to set a SKU for each product, it is not possible to actually retrieve the SKU of a product programmatically.

Once you have added a SKU for your product, click on the Publish button to save your changes. That’s all there is to it! You have now successfully added a SKU to your WooCommerce product.

Conclusion:

Adding a SKU to your WooCommerce products is a quick and easy way to keep track of your stock levels. It is also useful for shipping and payment providers.

To add a SKU, simply log into your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Products > Add New, and enter a SKU in the appropriate field. Once you have done that, click on the Publish button to save your changes.
