Adding Fields Values to the end of a URL

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom field value to the end of a URL.

Our website has a catalogue of products with each product page populated with links to Amazon and Ebay. Each product has a unique Amazon number (ASIN) and a unique ebay number (ebay ID).

As each product page has numerous buttons linked to Amazon and ebay, I want to be able type each unique product number into a custom field and then each button’s link will automatically add the product ID to the end of the URL.

for example:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079ZW89J7

this is a standard Amazon product URL, the number on the end is the unique identifier (the ASIN)

I want to be able put something on the end of the URL in place of the ASIN that will instead populate with a value typed into a custom field on the backend.

Can this be done with simple %tags (e.g. %’field_name’%)

or will this require something a bit more advanced?

I’m pretty new to coding and wordpress so any help in regards to this would be really appreciated

Thanks
