How Do I Define An Internal Name For A Product ?

❓ What Is An Internal Name?

An Internal Name is a nickname you assign to a product to make it easier to identify within SellerLegend. It helps you avoid memorizing cryptic ASINs or SKUs by giving your product a name that’s meaningful to you.

📌 Key Points:

• 🆓 Optional — Use Internal Names only if your SKUs aren’t descriptive.

• 🧩 Flexible — Assign names to some or all of your products.

• 📝 Free format — Any text, any length (but short names are best).

• 👁️ Always visible — Appears on all screens where the product is shown.

• 🔁 Instant updates — Edits reflect immediately across the platform.

🧠 When Should I Use Internal Names?

Use them if:

• 🔣 Your SKUs are inconsistent or hard to decode.

• 🧾 You manage many products with similar identifiers.

• 📚 You want clearer context in reports and dashboards.

• 🧑‍💻 Your team needs product names that are intuitive at a glance.

Skip them if your SKUs already clearly identify each product.
