SKU Generation Issues

Problem

The generated SKU is incorrect, missing, duplicated, or does not follow the format you expected.


Check 1 — Check SKU settings

Go to:
Settings → SKU
Review your SKU generation settings, including:

  • Prefix
  • Suffix
  • Data abbreviation
  • Variant-related options


Check 2 — Check the product information

Go to Generate & Print and select the affected product.
Make sure the product and variant information required by your SKU structure is available.


Check 3 — Check existing SKUs

Open the product in Shopify Admin → Products.
Check whether the product or variant already has a SKU.


Note: If you are generating new SKUs, review existing SKU values first to avoid unwanted changes.


Check 4 — Test with one product

Generate a SKU for one product first.
Check whether the result follows your expected structure.


Result

If the test SKU is correct, you can continue with the remaining products.
