Question:
Is it possible to use the UPC (Universal Product Code) of a product as the Integration ID?
Answer:
The short answer is no, but first let's break down some of the components here. First, the "Integration ID" is a term that Modern Retail uses to denote the ID that's needed to make the integration work. This ID is always stored in the SKU field on the e-commerce platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento).
The reason that UPC's cannot be Integration ID's is because the UPC is a variable, where a SKU is not. This means that a UPC can change, and when dealing with an integration, it's a bad idea to have data stored in a variable that is not constant.
