SKU and Barcode set up in ShipHero

• 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 a more efficient record-keeping.

ShipHero imports the SKUs that you created in your store to identify your product. They 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 SKU’s would look something like this:

• red-dress-small
• red-dress-large 

Important reminders:

• No duplicate barcodes; each product must have a unique barcode.
• 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 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“
