# SKU for the products

If you are selling to the international market, ( out Brazil) **using SKUs is mandatory**.

If you use **ShipOffers** or **EagleLabs**, follow one of the tutorials below to avoid integration issues:

* **EagleLabs**
* **ShipOffers**
Otherwise, you can assign **any random SKU** you want.

# 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**.

# Important Rules

* Each SKU must be **unique**
* Do **not repeat SKUs** across different products
* It’s recommended to follow a **consistent pattern** (e.g., category-color-size)
