Ecommerce and AI Shopping

SKU

Also known as: Stock Keeping Unit

An internal inventory item identifier used by a business.

A practical example

Each size variant has a separate store SKU.

What should I know?

SKUs need not be globally unique across sellers.

Ecommerce and AI Shopping in practice

Prices, variants, and availability must match current offerings. Separate product discovery, cart creation, and purchase confirmation. Integrations need clear delivery, payment, and order handoff rules.
