The SKU is most commonly used for this. #### Basic SKU settings When your supplier provides the SKU in the feed, you can use this value directly. In the following example, the SKU is in the *Code* node. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Stockeo SKU settings" %}

#### Generate SKU with the Liquid formula It may also happen that no field in the feed can be used as the SKU. In this case, use a combination of several fields to create a unique id for each product. To do this enter the Liquid formula directly in the SKU field: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Stockeo SKU settings" %}

#### Alternative variant identifiers You can also use [metafields](/data-mapping/metafields.md) or [barcodes](/data-mapping/barcode.md) to identify variants in Shopify when SKUs are missing from the feed or do not match the SKUs in Shopify. All supported alternative variant identifiers are explained in the following video: {% embed url="" %} Update variants in Shopify by SKU, barcode or metafield {% endembed %}
