SKU stands for stock-keeping unit which is a unique identifier that represents each available product in your campaign. Using a SKU is helpful during fulfillment to ensure backers receive the right product. Identifying your product with a SKU allows it to be tracked for inventory purposes as well. When creating a product, our system will automatically give it a SKU consisting of the name of the product. You can assign your own SKU to the product by following the steps below:
1) Go to Products.
Found mid-way down the left menu.
