    Definitions
    SKU SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit which is a number that is assigned to one item and one item only. SKUs are not always physical items, but more appropriately anything that can be billed. Merchants assign their own SKU numbers, and each merchant has a personal approach on how they assign those SKU numbers.
