Filter by SKU

The SKU condition matches variants by their stock-keeping unit identifier.

How it works

Click Add condition → SKU and pick an operator.

Operators

Operator	What it matches
is	Variant SKU exactly equals the value
is not	Variant SKU does not equal the value
contains	Variant SKU contains the substring
starts with	Variant SKU begins with the prefix
ends with	Variant SKU ends with the suffix
is one of	Variant SKU matches any in the list

Examples

Discount a specific variant

SKU is "TSHIRT-RED-XL"

Discount everything in a SKU family

SKU starts with "TSHIRT-"

Discount specific variants by exact list

SKU is one of "TSHIRT-RED-XL", "TSHIRT-BLUE-XL", "TSHIRT-GREEN-XL"

Workflow tip: use SKU patterns

If your SKUs have a structured pattern (like CATEGORY-COLOR-SIZE), you can use contains and starts with to write a single condition that targets a wide range of variants without listing each one.

For example, if all summer items have SKUs starting with SUM-:

SKU starts with "SUM-"

That one condition covers every summer variant in your catalog.

Notes

• SKUs are case-sensitive in Shopify.
• Variants without a SKU set won't match SKU conditions.
• Changes to SKU values on variants are picked up the next time the rule runs.
