NIKE-TSH-BLU-LELEC-CAM-2024-001HG-LAMP-WHT-42What is a SKU?
A Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is a unique identifier for each product in your inventory. It helps you track stock, manage orders, and organize your catalog.
Easy identification
Quickly find any product in your system with a unique, searchable code.
Inventory tracking
Monitor stock levels, track sales by variant, and prevent overselling.
System integration
Sync products across your POS, warehouse, ecommerce, and accounting systems.
Anatomy of a good SKU
The best SKUs are meaningful, consistent, and scalable.
Keep it readable
Use abbreviations that make sense. "BLU" for blue, "TSH" for t-shirt. Anyone should be able to decode it.
Be consistent
Use the same format across all products. Same number of characters per segment, same order of attributes.
Avoid special characters
Stick to letters, numbers, and hyphens. Avoid spaces, slashes, or symbols that may cause issues in systems.
Plan for growth
Leave room for new categories, colors, or variants. Use sequential numbers that can scale (001, not 1).
