How Do I Get a Product SKU on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:53 am

As an online retailer, you may have noticed that some products have a SKU assigned to them while others do not. So, what is a SKU and how do you get one for your products?

A SKU (stock keeping unit) is a unique identifier assigned to a product by the retailer. This identifier is used to track inventory and can be used by customers to order specific items from the retailer.

PRO TIP: If you are looking for a product SKU on Shopify, be aware that this is not something that Shopify offers. There are third-party apps that can provide this information, but it is important to note that they are not affiliated with Shopify. Be sure to research any app you are considering using to make sure it is reputable.

There are a few ways that you can get a SKU for your products. If you are selling physical goods, you can generate SKUs for your products by using a barcode scanner. Simply scan the barcodes of your products and save the generated code as the SKU for that product.

If you are selling digital goods, you can create SKUs for your products by using a unique ID generator. This will create a unique code for each of your products which can be used as the SKU.

Once you have generated SKUs for your products, you can add them to your Shopify store by editing the product details and adding the SKU to the appropriate field. This will ensure that your products can be easily tracked and identified by both you and your customers.
