Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online sku generator.
A SKU, or stock keeping unit, is a unique code that identifies one specific product variation
so that stock can be tracked accurately.
Type a pattern such as {CAT}-{ATTR}-{N:3}-{CHK}. The category and attribute boxes fill the
first tokens and the sequence fills the rest.
The generator supports {CAT}, {ATTR}, {PREFIX}, {YYYY} and {N}, and the sequence token can
carry its own padding such as {N:4}.
It is a letter computed from the rest of the code using modulo thirty six, so a mistyped SKU
is easy to spot.
Uppercase is the common convention because it is easier to read on labels and barcodes, but
the tool can output lowercase as well.
Keep it short, usually between six and twelve characters, so it stays easy to type and fits
neatly on a label.
No. Each SKU must be unique to a single product variation, otherwise stock counts and orders
will be wrong.
Paste it into the validate box. The tool checks its length, the category prefix and the check
character when one is used.
