What is a SKU?

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit.

It is a unique code you create to identify a product in your inventory.

What Is a SKU Used For?

SKUs are used to:

• Manage inventory
• Differentiate product variations
• Facilitate logistics and order fulfillment

Practical Example

Product: Black T-Shirt

• Black T-Shirt S → SH-BLK-S
• Black T-Shirt M → SH-BLK-M
• Black T-Shirt L → SH-BLK-L

Each variation has its own SKU.

• Each SKU must be unique
• Do not repeat SKUs across different products
