To append a store prefix or postfix to the SKU during the adding process, you can use custom formatting.



Store Prefix
For example: SKU in the store is ABC1234, and in the feed file 12345. Then, include ABC to match with the feed file.

To include postfix, need to add $ after the value.
For example: SKU in the store is 12345LESS, and in the feed file is 12345. Then, the prefix is LESS$
