SKUs (stock keeping units) are codes that you can use internally to track your inventory and report on your sales
Depending on your selected plan, you'll be given an allowance of how many SKUs you can have published per feed, as well as an allowance of how many feeds you can have published at a time.
Allowances are based on the output of feeds, rather than the input of the source feed.
SKU Allowance
Your SKU allowance is based on the number of products rendered out per published output feed. For example, if your source feed contains 2000 SKUs, but your plan allows you 1000 SKUs, you may still upload your entire source feed into the platform; however, you can only output an enriched feed up to 1000 SKUs total. Your SKU allowance and total SKUs are shown on the right side of your output feed page
If an enriched feed contains more than the allowed number of SKUs, Marpipe will not publish the feed or stop updating your already published feed until the designs are filtered down or the SKU allowance is increased.
You can either use filters to reduce the number of incoming products to below your allowance, or increase your allowance to the next available tier.
If each design is applied to different products, your total SKU count will be the total number of unique products in your feed:
Treatment 1 | Treatment 2 | Treatment 3 |
Green Shirt | Yellow Pants | Green Shirt |
Red Shirt | Red Pants | Red Pants |
Blue Shirt | Blue Pants | Brown Pants |
White Shirt |
| White Shirt |
Total Unique SKUs: 9
Each SKU is Unique to the Product Variation
Because each variation (size, color, etc) of a single product contains a unique SKU, importing a source feed containing only the parent products will give undesirable results when adding the enriched feed link to Commerce Manager. Every SKU for a product must be accounted for in order to enrich it in Commerce Manager.
