There are two ways to Upload Product Images
- Bulk Upload for multiple images
- Image Upload for individual images
IMPORTANT - Backup all your image files
It's important to have a local backup of every image file that you upload to AB Commerce in case AB Commerce's file server ever got corrupted - and the backups were also corrupted. While this is highly unlikely, it's safer to have a local folder on your network with every file so that in a worst case scenario, you could bulk upload all your images again if ever needed.
Bulk Upload
1. Log in as Website Admin
2. Select Catalogue - Bulk Upload Image
Note the image files must meet the following specifications
- Must be jpegs with a file name extension of .jpg or .jpeg
- Must be perfectly square (i.e. the width must be the same as the height)
- Must be at least 1,000 pixels in width/height
- Photos should be saved as 100%/full quality JPG – not compressed
- Flat graphics (logos, some packaging) should be saved as high quality PNG – not compressed
- Must be less than 10,000k
- Name your files productcode.jpg with the product code in the title – e.g. ABC1234.jpg.
- If uploading more than 1 image file per product, add “_2”, “_3”, etc at the end of the filename to specify the order you want the image displayed – e.g. ABC1234.jpg, ABC1234_2.jpg, ABC1234_3.jpg.
- To attach an image to a specific version, use the version’s product code instead.
3. Select Open the File Browser
4. Choose the files to Upload and select Open. If a product code to match an image file cannot be found an error will appear showing the invalid filenames. Correct the image file names to reflect the product codes and repeat the upload process.
