SKU and Barcode set up in Ship HeroUpdated 8 months ago

A Stock Keeping Unit or SKU is a number that is assigned to a product for the purpose of inventory management. A SKU is a unique identifier assigned to each product for more efficient record-keeping.

Ship Hero imports the SKUs that you created in your store to identify your product, or we are able to manually upload inventory. 

SKUs must be unique across all your products and their variants. For example, if you’re selling a Red Dress and it comes in two sizes, the SKUs would look something like this:

• red-dress-small
• red-dress-large 

Important reminders:

• No duplicate barcodes; each product must have a unique barcode.
• Barcodes must be at least 5 digits and no more than 25 digits.
• No non-standard characters (such as an emoji)
• No spaces before or after.

• If you don’t generate a UPC for each product in the store, the ShipHero app will auto-generate one for you.

  *Be careful because this can cause further complications if you have a barcode and don't enter it! 

• All barcodes must be printed on a white background with black print.
• Barcode data in the product MUST match the Barcode data in ShipHero
• You can print barcodes directly from the ShipHero application or apply your own
• You can edit your barcodes or SKUs on our ShipHero product page only before you send inventory to the warehouse. 

Barcode preferred size: 52.5 mm x 29.7mm. Must be smaller than 2″ x 3“
