PRODUCT SYNC PREFERENCE

Hike uses 'SKU' as a unique identifier for products. This is a standard practice for most of our accounting and eCommerce partners. However, if the application you are trying to sync does not require the SKU numbers, you might have some products without SKUs.

In that case, to sync/import your non-SKU products, Hike can auto-create create SKUs numbers. Please select the best suitable option:

• Auto-create SKU numbers to sync those products and variants

  Tick this box to automatically add SKUs to products being added that do not have an SKU

• Do not sync non-SKU products and related orders now, I'll first manually create SKUs for those

  Tick this box to not add products that do not have an SKU

SAVE

If the SAVE button is lightly grayed out, it means there is a section you have not completed.

Otherwise, click the SAVE button to finish.
