✅ WooCommerce SKU Auto Generator + SKU Search (Front End)

The key insight here is that using a SKU generator for your WooCommerce products can make your life a whole lot easier.

Plus, with a little bit of code, you can even search for products using their SKUs on the front end. It’s a game-changer!🔍💡

Overview

In this video, we will explore how to automatically generate the SCUs for the products in our WooCommerce store. SCUs are unique identifiers for each product, allowing for precise identification. This process can be accomplished through a free plugin that enables automatic SKU generation and customization of various aspects such as prefixes, suffixes, numbers, and letters. Additionally, we will review a code snippet that facilitates product searching by SCU from the Front End.

Setting Up the Plugin

To initiate the process, we need to begin by installing and activating the plugin via the WooCommerce settings. This interface allows us to configure the number of characters for the SKU, the prefix, the type of characters to be used, and other options such as adding the ID of the product. The plugin is also compatible with variable products, creating a unique SKU for each variant. We can then proceed with the mass generation of SKUs for all products and categories, ensuring comprehensive and accurate identification.

Configuring Automatic SKU Generation

Following the installation and setup of the plugin, we can proceed with configuring the automatic generation of SKUs. This includes defining the character length, selecting the type of characters, adding a prefix, and specifying other parameters such as suffixes and separators. Furthermore, the plugin offers the flexibility to decide whether SCO generation should be deactivated for variable products, providing users with full control over the SKU generation process.

Customization and Live Application

Upon successful configuration, the plugin allows for automatic generation of SCUs for both existing and newly created products. Through this feature, we can seamlessly generate the unique identifiers for all products in the WooCommerce store. This ensures efficient and precise identification, streamlining the inventory management process and enhancing the overall user experience.
