How Do I Get a SKU on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:38 am

As an online retailer, you know that in order to sell your products, you need a SKU. But what is a SKU, and how do you get one?

A SKU (stock keeping unit) is a unique code that is assigned to each product that you sell. This code is used to track inventory and can be used by customers to search for specific items.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about starting a Shopify store, you may be wondering how to get started with adding products. One important thing to note is that each product needs a unique SKU (stock keeping unit) in order to be tracked properly. While it may be tempting to try and save time by using the same SKU for multiple products, this can lead to serious inventory problems down the road. Make sure to take the time to properly assign SKUs to each of your products from the beginning!

To get a SKU for your products, you’ll need to create an account with a barcode generator such as Code128. Once you have an account, you can create unique codes for each of your products. These codes can then be added to your product listings on Shopify.

Adding a SKU to your product listings will make it easier for customers to find the items they’re looking for, and will help you keep track of your inventory.
