📤 Sku Output Method


  • Use virtual product to carry SKU — Default method. A free virtual product is added at checkout to carry the SKU. This may confuse customers but works well for ERP systems.
  • Include SKU inside option values — Stores SKU information inside the option value instead of creating a virtual product. This is more customer-friendly but less compatible with ERP systems.


  • SKU field label — If you choose Include SKU inside option values, you also need to set the option name used to store the SKU. The default name is “_SKU”.
