Frequently asked questions

What makes a good SKU?

Short, readable, and built from a fixed segment order so a human can decode it. TSH-BLK-L beats a random string when someone is reading it off a shelf.

Should the SKU contain the price?

No. Prices change and SKUs should not, otherwise you end up with two codes for the same physical item and a broken stock count.

How long should a SKU be?

Under about twelve characters. Longer codes get truncated in marketplace listings and mistyped when someone reads them aloud.

Should I avoid certain characters?

Yes: letters and digits that look alike, notably O and 0, I and 1. They cause errors wherever a code is read by eye or typed by hand.
