💡 Notes
- Before using this method to generate the merchant SKU, you must ensure that the selected products have store SKU filled in a standard way (Set the Store SKU for the same product across different platforms as the same), because the system will generate Merchant SKU based on the Store SKU.
- If the store SKU name matches an existing merchant SKU name, a mapping relationship will be created. If it does not match, a new merchant SKU will be created and mapped to the store SKU (product variation).
If you don't want to take the active product stocks as the inventory of Merchant SKU when you generate merchant SKU with one click, you can select “Generate merchant SKU only without stock-in” as shown in the figure below. In this way, a new merchant SKU with 0 stock will be generated.
Method 4: When sync order, system will automatically create according to the SKU
Step: Click Settings > Click Inventory Settings > Open Create Merchant SKU Automatically
What it means:
- When you receive an order, if the Store SKU in the order does not yet have a mapped Merchant SKU, the system will automatically create a Merchant SKU with the same name as the Store SKU and create the mapping relation.
How it works:
- If a Merchant SKU doesn’t exist yet for the Store SKU, the system will create one that matches the Store SKU name (e.g., "T-SHIRT-RED-M" in the order will create a Merchant SKU named "T-SHIRT-RED-M").
- If a Merchant SKU with the same name already exists, the system will simply create a mapping relation between the Store SKU and the existing Merchant SKU.
- The new created Merchant SKUs will use the stock of Store SKUs as the initial stock by default.
Please set the Store SKU for the same product across different platforms as the same if choosing this method. This not only makes it easier for you to manage, but also helps prevent errors when creating mapping relations.
