How to create multiple SKUs for a single product in Shopify?

Hello,

We are selling one product in shopify and we will sell this one product in quantities of one, two or three (limit at three). Our 3PL partner is asking me to create three unique SKU’s for the same product, reflecting the different quantities above (one SKU for one quantity, one SKU for two quantities and one SKU for three quantities).

For the consumer, I would like to only show them the one product and let them add into the cart whatever quantities they want, without confusing them with three SKU’s. How do we create 3 separate SKU’s in shopify to reflect the above scenario? Thanks for your help. Alain.

@Alain55 You create three variants of the product with three different SKUs.

Hide the SKU on the product page.

So customers will only see one product with three variants and buy whichever they want.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, how do you hide the variants on the
product page so the consumer does NOT select a variant (i.e., single pack,
duo pack, three pack) but instead just adds +1, +2, +3 products in the cart
and the SKU selection (one product selected=sku 1, two products
selected=sku 2, three products selected=sku 3) is done automatically on the
back end? Thanks.

@Alain55 So if you mean that if users select 1 quantity it should automatically choose SKU1 and for 2 products SKU2 and so on, that’s not possible. It would require custom coding and you would need to hire a developer for the same.

Hi there,

Orderbot OMS can help with this. We would sit between shopify and the 3pl. Our system would bundle the products and apply discounts (if applicable) and send the 3pl exactly what they need just to fulfill the order and accurately deplete the inventory counts.

Hi @imatikshaikh , I am looking for a very similar solution to the original post. You mentioned this is not possible natively and would require custom coding. Are you a developer for hire that could implement something like that?

Best, Michael
