Where can I find the Amazon sku? What should I pay attention to when setting it up?

Amazon is a relatively well-developed cross-border e-commerce platform. There are many merchants opening stores here. After opening a store, merchants need to upload products. When setting various different information, they will choose to set sku. So where can I see Amazon sku?

Where can I find Amazon SKU ?

Amazon's sku (Stock Keeping Unit) represents the unit or inventory unit of measurement of inventory in and out, which is mainly a unique numeric or alphanumeric code assigned to a product. sku is mainly used to manage inventory by automatically tracking product information (including price, manufacturer, function, size, color and inventory location, etc.). In short, sku can help sellers track sales and better ensure the profitability of retail business.

SKU is composed of alphanumeric characters, usually 8-12 characters, each character corresponds to a unique feature of the product, such as product type, color, size, style, etc. Each product corresponds to a unique SKU number. If a product has multiple variants, there are multiple SKUs, just like a piece of clothing has 3 colors and 4 different sizes, then there will be 12 different SKUs.

What should I pay attention to in setting ?

When merchants upload products, they must fill in the sku. There are two ways:

1. Merchants number their products according to their own product management rules, and then fill in their own sku to facilitate subsequent product management.

2. Some sellers may not be familiar with the operations of Amazon backend. In fact, there is no need to worry. When uploading products, if you do not fill in your own sku code, Amazon backend will automatically generate it. However, once there are more skus, it will not be as easy to manage as choosing your own regular coding. Therefore, the first method is still recommended.

When setting up product skus, Amazon merchants must pay attention to following relevant rules. In fact, setting up skus in the store is to facilitate merchants to better manage their stores and make timely adjustments to the stores.
