SKU Prefix

Each warranty plan generates Shopify product variants with a SKU. The default prefix is UMBRELLA-WRNTY. To customize it, enter a prefix in the SKU Prefix field on the warranty creation or edit form.

Formatting rules:

• Uppercase only (auto-converted)
• Letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and hyphens only (all other characters are stripped)
• If left empty, defaults to UMBRELLA-WRNTY

Custom prefixes are useful when running multiple warranty programs or matching SKU patterns expected by your accounting or ERP system.

Plan Description Editor

The rich text editor supports bold, italic, strikethrough, headings (H1-H3), bullet and numbered lists, links, and block quotes. Content is saved as cleaned HTML.

Tips for writing descriptions:

• Open with a one-sentence summary of what the warranty covers
• List covered scenarios as bullet points
• State exclusions clearly
• Add brief claim-filing instructions
• Keep it scannable with headings and short paragraphs

Ignore Product Option Names

To prevent certain product options (e.g., “Color”, “Size”) from affecting warranty pricing, add them to the Ignore Product Option Names field on the warranty form. All variants of an ignored option receive the same warranty price.
