How can I add an SKU column to my admin products page?

Topic summary

Users are requesting the ability to add an SKU column to the admin products page, similar to what exists on the inventory page. The primary motivation is to view product SKUs alongside creation dates without opening individual product pages or external documents.

Current Limitations:

  • No SKU column option exists on the products page
  • The inventory page has SKUs but cannot be sorted by creation date
  • Users must click into each product individually to view SKU information

Community Response:

  • Multiple users express frustration that this “basic function” hasn’t been implemented
  • One user notes that the Orders page recently received customizable column options, suggesting similar functionality could be applied to the products page
  • Several participants mention managing large product catalogs (thousands of items) where SKU-based sorting is essential
  • The thread spans nearly a year with no resolution from Shopify

Status: This remains an open feature request with growing support but no official response or timeline for implementation.

Hello,

It would be really useful for shopify to add the sku column to the products page within the admin section like the inventory page. I would use the inventory page but there is no way to sort by created date on the inventory page. This would be helpful to reference new product skus by created date without having to open another internal document or having to click on each product and open a new page just to get the sku.

Thanks.

There is no such option in admin.

Agreed, option to add basic things such as price, SKU and a few other columns would be very handy and surely not too taxing for a Shopify developer to sort?

Just an FYI, unless it’s something I’ve never noticed, under Orders, if you click the All tab, you (now) get an option to edit the columns. Scroll down to the bottom to navigate to the right where you’ll seen additional options, that you can drag left/right and hide/unhide, really handy.

This is just what’s needed for Other main admin pages /sections such as products.

I agree. It’s quite a shame that something like this isn’t possible. It seems like a basic function to me.
I need this feature as well.

Almost 1 year later and it still doesn’t have an option to show SKUs on Product Page. What a shame.

This is such a basic function I was assuming it was there and I was too stupid to find it. Really Shopify get on it!

Hopefully it isn’t a huge lift to take the code they used for the newer orders page and bring that to other views.

Really need SKU Column & Price Column for our store to manage our products. Why is this not a thing as it is such a common necessity? PLEASE ADD ASAP!

This is such a basic function and I can not believe Shopify still hasn’t added this. I have asked on the chat numerous times over the last few years, and even had a response from the chat saying they too wish this was a feature. We have lots of Shopify Shops and I find this the MOST frustrating thing. Shopify PLEEEEEASE add this column to the product admin search. How on earth do we make this happen??

Wow I cannot believe this has not been added yet! Clearly @Shopify_77 does not understand how their customers operate. Anyone with alot of products knows that model numbers are how we usually reference our products and not by product titles.

Incredible.. Such a BASIC request which is required for some stores and it’s still not available. I don’t get it.

Ridiculous! I have been asking for this for YEARS!! Such a basic addition to the products page. I have seven websites with thousands of products, and I REALLY would appreciate being able to sort via SKU on the Products page. Shopify just ignores these requests. Pretty disappointing.
