SKU (Stock keeping unit): This is a unique product code you can come up with for you and your staff to track products within your business.

Barcode: Also known as the Universal Product Code(UPC), this is the barcode printed in each product which varies from one product variant to another and in most cases a unique code globally containing 8-14 digits. If any of your products don’t have a barcode printed on the packaging, you can leave the ‘Barcode' field empty. Once you fill in the barcode your product is ready for scanning while selling it.
