Please Note:


This is important information to note when creating Product Groups in CatchFeeder.  Product Groups require the SKU we have in Catchfeeder.  Not the sku you may have used in BigCommerce.


The actual field in BigCommerce called SKU is not a mandatory field nor a required field, so it is not a reliable field in BigCommerce.  Our App must have a SKU as part of the Catch listing requirement and because we cannot rely on BigCommerce providing that data via the SKU field we use the BigCommerce Product ID to create a SKU in Catchfeeder. This CatchFeeder SKU cannot be edited and it must be used when creating groups, promotions etc.
