The SKU ID is the number that identifies a particular SKU. This information can be used in API calls and in investigations of scenarios involving a certain SKU, for example.

This identifier number is extremely important for any action you wish to take with regard to a given SKU.

There are a few ways to find out the ID of an SKU:

To find the ID of a SKU through the VTEX Admin, follow the steps below:

1. In the VTEX Admin, go to Catalog, or type Catalog in the search bar at the top of the page.
2. Click on All products.
3. You will see a list of all products and SKUs registered in your store. The middle column lists all the SKUs.
4. Scroll to the SKU you want and check the number entered in parentheses. This number is the ID of your SKU.

In the example below, the SKU ID is 18.

To find out the SKU ID through the SKU registration URL, follow the steps below:

1. In the VTEX Admin, go to Catalog, or type Catalog in the search bar at the top of the page.
2. Click on All products. You will see a list of all products and SKUs registered in your store.
3. Click the name of the SKU you want.
4. Check the URL of the loaded page. You will see a URL with the following format: https://{accountName}.myvtex.com/admin/Site/SkuForm.aspx?IdSku={number} The SKU ID will be the number displayed in the place of {number}.

To ensure the items added to the inventory will be available for sale on the store, the SKU ID cannot contain a leading zero. For instance, the system does not read IDs with a 01, 02, 021 format because the expected format is 1, 2, 21.
