mydakis SKU & setup for successful Ls x dakis sync

How and what to SKU in mydakis.com?

SKUs/Custom SKUs are the value used by both Lightspeed and dakis to communicate with each other. Think of the SKU like a handshake between both systems. No SKU equals no handshake, equals problem. 

1- To start, all of the print sizes need a unique SKU:
SKUs can be a mix of letters and numbers, with symbols. SKUs should NOT start with the number zero (0). Do not put any spacing.
We recommend something easy, such as:
StdPrnt3.5x5, Standard3.5x5, 100001, etc.

2- Along with the Prints, you must SKU the Printing options.
Click on Edit to find the Labworks Code (which refers to the SKU in this case - yes, it can be confusing).

Labworks Code (SKU) can be something as simple as: pearlsurface (no space).
3- Repeat for the Photo Factory items and Options - they all need a unique SKU (Labworks Code).

4- You will also have to SKU or set up the following:
Minimum Order Amount SKU: 6) Adding a SKU to your minimum order amount
Set up the Taxes/Tax Category List: ( 4) Setting up your Lightspeed Tax Region IDs in MyDakis
Set up the Shop ID and Register List: 3) Setting up your Lightspeed Retail Shop IDs in your MyDakis
Set up the Employee List: 5) Selecting a default employee for your kiosk / online transactions
SKU the Shipping Modes:
