# How to ignore a price or compare at price update based on the feed value ?

If you'd like to prevent Stock Sync from updating your **Price** or **Compare-at Price** when your store's current value is higher than the feed value, follow the steps below carefully.

||| This example demonstrates how to configure this for the **Price** field. The same logic applies to the **Compare-at Price** field.

1. Go to your **Matching Column Section** of a feed.
2. Navigate to the **Smart Settings** section under the **Price** field.
3. Apply the appropriate formula based on your scenario as explained below.

## Formula Examples and What They Do

### Example 1: Compare Store Price Against Feed Price
| Condition (If) | Price (Then) | What It Does |
| ---- |
| `current_price > price_f` | `*0 + current_price` | To keep your store price unchanged when your store price is higher than the feed price, `current_price` refer to store price. |


### Example 2: Compare Store Price Against a Specific Column in Feed
| Condition (If) | Price (Then) | What It Does |
| ---- |
| `current_price > col8_f` | `*0 + current_price` | Keeps your store price unchanged **if your store price is higher** than the value in **Column 8** of the feed file. Use `col#_f` to compare against any custom column, especially when working with **numeric values** or using a **Google Sheet** as your feed source. `current_price` refer to store price. |
