SKU

To recognize products in your store and take appropriate properties for them from the supplier feed, Stockeo needs a unique key for each item. 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.

Add a prefix to the SKU

Use this option if you would like to add a prefix to your SKU easily in the Create mode or in the Update mode when SKUs in your store contain a prefix which does not appear in the feed SKUs.

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:

Alternative variant identifiers

You can also use metafields or barcodes 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:
