Custom SKU Generation for Shopify Integration

Job ID: 40151859

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

SKU Project Proposal – Important Conditions (Please Read Carefully)

Please state your full and final price in your proposal.
Do not submit a low price to win the project and then attempt to increase it later after discussions. I will not accept that.

Only apply if you can complete the project on time.
I will not proceed with developers who promise delivery to secure the project and then delay, deprioritize, or treat it as “already secured.” Payment will not be made for unfinished, delayed, or poorly delivered work.

Scope of Work (What I Actually Need)

This is NOT a theme or template setup project.

Initially, I thought I needed help with setting up a Shopify theme, but after reviewing multiple attempts, I realized that this part is better handled by me.
At this stage, I am only looking for SKU management automation and Shopify integration.

What I Need Now

I need:

A custom SKU generation script

Integration of this SKU logic into my existing Shopify store

Clean, reliable, and scalable implementation

This project is purely backend / logic-focused, not UI or design.

SKU Method – Technical Explanation

The SKU system must be structured, deterministic, and scalable.

Each SKU should be generated based on multiple product dimensions, for example:

Supplier / Vendor code

Brand code

Product category code

Product attributes (e.g. color, size, material)

Sequential or hashed unique identifier

Example (conceptual):

SUP-BRAND-CAT-COLOR-SIZE-001


Key requirements:

SKUs must be unique per variant

SKU generation must be automated, not manual

The logic must support:

Thousands of products

Tens of thousands of variants

Multi-vendor expansion

SKU rules must be configurable and not hardcoded

Script must handle:

New product creation

Variant updates

Bulk imports (CSV / API)

Integration should work with:

Shopify Admin API / GraphQL

Existing Shopify product and variant structure

Who Should Apply

Only contact me if you:

Have proven experience with Shopify SKU automation

Have worked with Shopify Admin API / GraphQL

Understand variant-level SKU logic

Can deliver exactly what is described above, on time, for the price you propose

If you do not have real experience with this, please do not apply.
This avoids wasted time for both of us.

Final Note

If you message without understanding the scope, or without relevant experience, I will not proceed and no payment will be made.

I am looking for one experienced professional, not trial-and-error work.Total project fee: $300 USD

Deadline Enforcement

No extensions beyond 7 days

Not even 1 extra day is allowed

This condition is final.
