SKU Generator for WooCommerce Pro creates and manages product SKUs in WooCommerce. For new products, it can generate values automatically from a format you configure. The add-on also offers options for updating existing SKUs and using them in product search and customer emails.

Formats for new products

Build a format from these components and generation choices:

• Prefix and suffix: Use these to help distinguish product groups.
• Number length, category, and tag: Use these to shape a more structured SKU pattern.
• Generation method: Choose sequential or random values.

The Pro edition includes additional SKU format options for variable products.

Choose which existing SKUs to regenerate

Regenerate SKUs for all existing products, or limit the process to products without an SKU. The missing-only option leaves current SKU values in place on products that already have one.

Search, emails, and duplicate SKUs

Frontend product search by SKU can help customers or shop customers locate products. You can add SKU information to customer emails, and the extension enables the same SKU value to be used for more than one product.

Set up the process

Install the plugin in your WordPress site and review its available options. Set the format and generation method for new products, then decide whether to regenerate existing SKUs and whether to limit that process to products without an SKU. Once the format is configured, consider whether your workflow should use frontend SKU search, SKU details in customer emails, or duplicate SKU support.
