That worked for me as well thankyou but only shows sku if product is in stock, Can I make it show on products out of stock as well?
Topic summary
Goal: display product SKU (stock keeping unit) on collection pages in Shopify themes, starting with Venture. Code snippets and screenshots are central.
Venture theme: add
{{ product.first_available_variant.sku }}
to product-card.liquid before the vendor block. To show SKU even when out of stock, use {{ product.variants[0].sku }}. Variants are product options (size/color) and snippets are reusable Liquid code blocks.
Supply theme: place {{ product.first_available_variant.sku | default: product.variants[0].sku }} in product-grid-item.liquid before {{ product.title }}.
Product page (Venture): insert SKU: {{ product.first_available_variant.sku | default: product.variants[0].sku }} in product-template.liquid before the product title. A misplacement in a snippet was corrected, and it worked.
Venture media: theme doesn’t support product media natively; a full replacement product-template.liquid was provided to enable video/media and SKU. Replacing the whole section worked.
Dawn theme: in card-product snippet, use {{ card_product.first_available_variant.sku | default: card_product.variants[0].sku }} before vendor; corrected variable names resolved it.
Paid themes (Warehouse, Empire): developer can’t access; advised contacting theme support. Generic steps given to find the product snippet and insert the SKU code.
Open items: SKU per collection concept, updating SKU on variant change in collection cards, Warehouse 2.0/cart SKU-weight display—no resolution yet.
