When we operate the Amazon platform, we will encounter various codes with proper nouns. Novice sellers will be very troubled by this problem. They always can’t tell the difference between these codes. What is Amazon fnsku, what is sku, and how to use Amazon fnsku?
When we buy goods in our daily life, we will see a string of black and white barcodes on the back of the product packaging and a string of codes on the top. But at this time, we are in the role of consumers and will not pay too much attention to the barcode, because it has nothing to do with our shopping experience or use experience, but we will see that the salesperson will use the machine to scan the barcode. The barcode can help quickly identify the product information, and it also plays a vital role in other links. The issuance of invoices in the later period also requires barcodes, and the warehouse also needs to scan barcodes when managing goods, and the transportation process of goods also requires barcodes.
Amazon fnsku is the barcode of the product on the platform. It is to facilitate the transportation of goods on the Amazon platform. It has little to do with the seller’s online marketing. Each fnsku is a different transportation network inventory unit, which is automatically generated when the seller performs shipping operations on the Amazon platform. Amazon can use fnsku to track where the goods are transported during transportation and identify them at each station.
Fnsku includes a scannable barcode, asin code, product status and a simple description of the product transportation process. I believe everyone has this question. Our product packaging already has a barcode. Why do we need to print another barcode and stick it on the goods after delivery? Isn’t this redundant? In fact, on the Amazon platform, multiple sellers may sell the same product. At this time, if the original barcode of the product is mixed, it will cause identification confusion and cannot guarantee the transportation status of the goods. Therefore, Amazon needs to create a new barcode separately to ensure the transportation of the goods.
Another point to note is that because the Amazon platform requires sellers to print fnsku and stick it on the goods when sending goods, we should avoid using inkjet printers and use laser, thermal and other methods to print to prevent damage to the barcode during transportation and make it difficult to identify.
