Requires: WooCommerce 3.9.4 or newer
Automatically generate a SKU for parent / simple products, variations, or both when the product is published or updated.
IMPORTANT: The SKU field will be disabled for SKUs being generated by the plugin. Your own previously created SKUs will be overridden if you update a product while generating SKUs, and they will change if you change your product slug (while using this to generate them). Be sure you want to complete automate SKUs if you leave this enabled all of the time.
You can also selectively enable and disable the plugin if you don’t want to override existing SKUs when saving products. You can view product documentation for help.
SKUs for simple, external, or parent products can be generated from the product’s slug…
This awesome plugin is f***ing AMAZING 😁. It saved my store!
Perfect plugin, awesome support. I love this plugin
I don’t have advanced needs for SKUs, just to be able to automatically generate SKUs for all products and variants in bulk. And this plugin does it very well (at least for a couple hundreds of products)
Works perfect! Saved me lot of time! + fixed last errors on search console, regardings to SKU! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
