Product Identity matching and selecting matching method

Our Product Identity Matching Explained:

Our product identity matching works at the Barcode ID (GTIN/UPC/EAN) level by default.

• Each product variant must have its own unique barcode.
• If two different products share the same barcode, they will be treated as the same item in our system.
• Wrongly shared barcodes will distort product-level reporting.
  

How to correct a wrong barcode:

If a barcode is wrong, you can correct it in your e-commerce platform; the change will be automatically updated in Reaktion during the next product synchronization.

We also support matching products based on SKU (Account-wide setting)

Product matching requirements

To ensure products are matched correctly:

• Make sure all product variants have valid Barcodes or SKUs.
• If you want Reaktion to match products based on SKU, please let us know.
• Avoid assigning the same Barcode or SKU to unrelated products, as this can result in incorrect product matching.

Please note that it may take up to 4-6 hours to resync and re-match the products when changing the product matching method.
