How to remove the SKU numbers from Ecwid in WordPress

If you’re wanting to remove the SKU numbers from Ecwid in WordPress – To remove starting with “p-” from every Ecwid product, you can use the Ecwid API and JavaScript to fetch products, identify SKUs starting with “p-“, and then update them without this prefix.

Here’s a JavaScript code snippet for this:

				
					/* Add to Custom JS */
// Ecwid Store settings
const storeId = ‘YOUR_STORE_ID’;
const token = ‘YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN’;
// Function to fetch all products
async function fetchAllProducts() {
const response = await fetch(`https://app.ecwid.com/api/v3/${storeId}/products?token=${token}`);
const data = await response.json();
return data.items;
}
// Function to update product SKU
async function updateProductSKU(productId, newSku) {
await fetch(`https://app.ecwid.com/api/v3/${storeId}/products/${productId}?token=${token}`, {
method: ‘PUT’,
headers: { ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’ },
body: JSON.stringify({ sku: newSku })
});
}
// Main function to process all products
async function processProducts() {
const products = await fetchAllProducts();
for (const product of products) {
if (product.sku && product.sku.startsWith(‘p-‘)) {
const newSku = product.sku.replace(/^p-/, ”);
await updateProductSKU(product.id, newSku);
console.log(`Updated SKU for product ID ${product.id}: ${newSku}`);
}
}
}
// Run the main function
processProducts().then(() => console.log(“SKU update process completed.”)).catch(console.error);
				
			

How to remove the SKU numbers from Ecwid in WordPress:

1. Fetch Products: fetchAllProducts retrieves all products from the Ecwid store.
2. Check and Update SKU: For each product, if the SKU starts with “p-“, it removes “p-” and updates the SKU.
3. Logging: Logs each SKU update for tracking.

Notes:

• 
  Replace YOUR_STORE_ID and YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your Ecwid store’s ID and access token.
• 
  This example assumes all products can be fetched in a single call. For large inventories, implement pagination.

Make sure you test this in a controlled environment before using it in production.

You can get your Ecwid store ID from the bottom left of your dashboard:
