Frequently asked questions
What does Primel do?
Primel helps Shopify merchants generate missing product variant SKU values and internal barcode identifiers, preview proposed updates, validate conflicts, apply approved changes through tasks, and review task history.
Can Primel generate SKUs in bulk?
Yes. Primel can find variants with missing SKUs and generate values in bulk using automatic numeric SKU rules or reusable SKU templates.
Can I create a custom SKU format?
Yes. Primel supports reusable SKU templates built from product and variant fields, with previews before updates are applied.
What kind of barcode values does Primel create?
Primel creates internal barcode identifiers for variants with missing barcode values. Merchants can use Shopify variant IDs or custom internal formats for their own catalog workflows.

How does Primel prevent conflicts?

Where can I review completed work?

Can I restore SKU updates?
Primel can restore eligible recent SKU updates while protecting newer merchant edits from being overwritten.

Primel requests permissions required for its catalog workflows, focused on reading and updating product and variant data such as SKU and barcode values.
