Designing Your First Custom SKU Rule Template

Define standard SKU rules using dynamic placeholder tokens to generate consistent, readable SKU codes for fulfillment.

{VENDOR}

Extracts vendor initials or name (e.g., URN for UrbanFit).

{PRODUCT_TITLE}

Truncates product title to first N letters (e.g., DENIM).

{OPTION_1}

Appends variant option value (e.g. S, M, L, XL).

{AUTO_INC}

Sequential number counter (e.g. 0001, 0002) for unique SKUs.

Pro Tip: Use the live SKU Rule Builder preview on our homepage to test how your pattern behaves before applying it to your live Shopify products.

Executing Bulk Updates & Product Collection Filters

Run batch updates across your entire inventory or narrow scope to specific products.

  • Target All Products: Generates SKUs across your entire store catalog in one operation.
  • Target Missing SKUs Only: Preserves existing custom SKUs and only populates products/variants with blank SKU fields.
  • Filter by Collection or Vendor: Run dedicated rule patterns for specific apparel brands or supplier lines.

Enabling Real-time Auto-Generation for New Products

Keep your store SKU structure 100% compliant automatically whenever staff or app feeds add new items.

In your app settings, toggle "Auto-Generate SKUs on Product Creation" to ON. Our webhooks handle background processing instantly whenever a new product draft or active listing is saved in Shopify.
