To find your SKUs, go to your Products Feeds in Team Settings and click on one of the feeds to find the SKU or you can download the CSV which holds all the SKUs that the product feeds have on the previous page to this.  For more information about Product feeds, go to the section on how to view a product feed or how to download the CSV file.
