  • delivery — the possibility of courier delivery (for all regions to which the store delivers).
  • warranty — whether or not the product has an official manufacturer's warranty

Custom fields​

SKU​

tip

A stock keeping unit (SKU) is a product modifier that is attached to a group of products that differs from the rest by some characteristics (colour, size, weight, model, configuration, etc.). Each product has a unique SKU.

The process of creating a SKU is similar to creating a product:

  • enter a name and an additional identifier;
  • fill in a product card (link, image, manufacturer, price, delivery, warranty, and so on);
  • add a SKU to a specific product category;
  • add regions and specify regional data for each of them;
  • fill in the custom fields.

Then save a product. Now you can use this product or its SKU when creating an order.
