Plugin / WooCommerce Product SKU Generator

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This plugin generates SKUs any time products are created or updated. Your old SKUs will be overridden if you use it – only leave the plugin enabled if you don’t want to manage SKUs yourself. You can also selectively disable and re-enable the plugin if you don’t want to override SKUs when saving products.
Select the products you’d like to generate SKUs for under Products. Go to the bulk actions in the top left and click “Edit”, then apply. All you need to do is hit “Update” to save these products, and SKUs will automatically be added.
Variation SKUs can be set manually if you’re not generating them. They will be overridden if your settings are set auto-generate them, even if you try to change them manually. Please check your settings here. If you’d like to change a SKU for a product, disable the plugin, change the SKU, and update the product. You can re-enable the plugin as needed.
Roughly, yes. Actually, no. The SKUs will increase as you add more products / variations, but these use the post ID from WordPress (similar to your orders). Each SKU will be higher than the last, but they won’t be exactly in order, as other posts (like blog posts, orders or products), also use the same ID counter. Your SKUs will increase, but skip numbers.
Yep! Version 2.0 added the ability to use product slugs or IDs. For more advanced uses, you can use the wc_sku_generator_sku filter, which passes the parent SKU as the value and the product as a variable, to change what’s used as the parent SKU. You can change the variation SKU using the wc_sku_generator_variation_sku filter. You must use a unique value for SKUs (WooCommerce checks this). For example, you could generate a unique string or number in a custom snippet to use for the SKU with the help of a developer.
We’ve seen this happen in only one situation, so we have a filter + code snippet rather than a setting for this. Please see the instructions in Other Notes to force the attribute order.
