Autogenerate SKU for sign products in Shopify?

Our app generates a new product in Shopify for every custom sign added to the cart by a customer. While the app does not assign SKUs automatically, you can implement an automatic SKU generation system using a third-party app. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you set this up.

Understanding the Product Details of Custom Signs

When our app creates a new product in Shopify, here’s what you need to know:

• Product Creation: A unique product is generated each time a custom sign is added to the cart. This is part of how our app works.

• Product Type: All newly created products have the Product Type field set to Custom Neon.

• SKU field: These products do not have variations but include a field for adding SKU manually.

Adding SKUs Manually

If you prefer to manually add SKU to a product, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin.

2. Navigate to the Products section.

3. Select the product created by our app (marked as Custom Neon as Type). ​

   

4. In the SKU field, enter your SKU for that product, and save your changes.

   

Automating SKU Assignment

To streamline the process, we recommend using a third-party app to automate SKU generation. Here is how:

1. Visit the Shopify App Store and search for automatic SKU generator apps.

2. Choose and install an app that allows you to set rules or conditions to ensure SKUs are assigned only to these specific product types.

3. Configure the app to generate SKUs for products with the Product Type set to Custom Neon.
