Overview
Magento handles product names a little differently from some other ecommerce platforms. This article will discuss those differences, and how you should name your products when operating with Magento.
Magento Product Names
The most important thing to note about Magento product names is that they have to be unique. You cannot have two products in Magento with the same name. If you use an automatic process to generate Magento product names, we highly recommend performing one of these two actions:
- Manually double-check your product names to make sure duplicates aren't being created.
- Make sure your automatic process for generating names cannot create duplicate names.
Regarding number two, we have seen clients using automatic product name generation run into difficulties with this. If you're not sure about the best way to rectify an issue here, get in touch with Modern Retail support for assistance.
