Manage 100+ SKUs without chaos

Past ~100 SKUs, memory fails and inconsistency creeps in. A naming convention, clean product data, and bulk edits keep the catalog manageable, and let AI audit the whole thing in one pass.

A catalog over a hundred SKUs breaks down on memory and manual clicking: mismatched tags, orphan variants, reports you can't trust. The fix is a SKU naming convention, clean product data (types, tags, metafields), a bulk-edit habit, and a monthly audit, so AI can reformat the whole catalog at once. When exports slow and edits collide, that's the signal to move from spreadsheets to a light PIM. Do variants-inventory-basics first.

Once your catalog passes about a hundred SKUs, memory stops working and small inconsistencies pile into real problems: two products tagged three different ways, variants that don't match, reports you can't trust.

The fix is a naming system, clean product data, and a bulk-edit habit, so AI can audit and reformat the whole catalog in one pass instead of you clicking row by row. Do variants-inventory-basics first; this note assumes your variants are already set up.
