All things Shopify and commerce
Hello and thanks in advance! We have 3 flagship types of cream (Rest, Relief, Tranquility) and I am creating listings where a customer can Pick any 2 or Pick any 3. I am using Variations to create the pick 2/pick 3.
Do I have to have a different SKUs for the different variations of the same products? For example, if choice 1 is Rest, and Choice 2 is Relief, then I will create the SKU RES-REL.
If choice 1 is Relief and choice 2 is Rest, do I have to create a SKU called REL-RES, or can I just duplicate RES-REL?
Thank you!

This is an accepted solution.
You don't need to create separate SKUs for combinations like RES-REL and REL-RES if they represent the same product bundle. You can use the same SKU (e.g., RES-REL) for both configurations, as long as the actual products in the combination remain the same.
The SKU is mainly for tracking inventory, and if the contents of the bundle are the same regardless of the order in which the customer selects them, using a single SKU for that combination will keep things simple and efficient.

If it's the same inventory use the same skus and test your auditing/reporting processes to be sure having separate listings with same skus does not cause issues.
Otherwise put more effort into making the mix-n-match system only need 1 listing with 1 sku.
Either with product-siblings theme customization, combined-listings for shopify plus stores, or other apps.
