How to

How to make product SKUs

Pick a short pattern once, then stamp it onto every variant you sell in chat.

  1. 01

    Set the pattern

    Choose how many characters to keep from each part, the separator, and upper or lower case.

  2. 02

    Add name and attributes

    Product name plus size, colour, flavour, or whatever variants you track in WhatsApp.

  3. 03

    Add to your list

    Save the SKU, keep the fields for the next variant, or clear and start another product.

  4. 04

    Export when ready

    Download a CSV for sheets, or copy a single SKU into your chat notes.

Why this tool

Why chat sellers need SKUs

A short code beats typing the full product name every time you pack or reply.

  • Faster replies and packing

    Reference CHO-RED-M instead of spelling out Chocolate cake, red, medium in every DM.

  • Same code in chat and stock

    Use one SKU in WhatsApp, your sheet, barcodes, and packing slips so variants do not mix up.

  • CSV export, free

    Build a batch of SKUs and download them. No signup and no watermark.

  • Stays in your browser

    Names and attributes never leave this page. Nothing is uploaded to Orders App.

FAQ

SKU questions

What an SKU is, how the pattern works, and how it pairs with barcodes and Orders App.

What is an SKU?

SKU means stock keeping unit. It is a short code you invent for each product or variant so you can track it in chat, sheets, and stock.

How does this generator build the code?

It takes letters and digits from the product name and each attribute, keeps the character count you set, joins them with your separator, and optionally appends a sequence number.

How is an SKU different from a barcode?

An SKU is the human-readable code. A barcode is a scannable picture of a value, often that same SKU. Generate the SKU here, then print a barcode with the barcode tool if you need stickers.

Should every colour and size get its own SKU?

Yes, if you stock them separately. One SKU per sellable variant keeps packing and counts clear when orders arrive in WhatsApp.

Can I change the pattern later?

Yes. Adjust characters, separator, or case, then generate new SKUs. Existing list rows stay until you remove or clear them.

Is the tool free?

Yes. No signup. Orders App is separate if you later want DM orders captured into a list automatically.
