In this video, I will guide you through the various methods of uploading product images. I will start by showing you how to upload images directly to a product, then I will demonstrate how to upload images through the file manager. Finally, I will explain the process of using the Product Images Wizard tool to attach images to products that do not have any. By the end of this video, you will have a clear understanding of the different approaches to uploading product images and be able to choose the method that works best for you.
1. Direct Upload to the Product
Steps:
Access Product List: Navigate to the list of your products under Products -> List.
Select a Product: For demonstration, let’s choose a product without an image.
Navigate to Product View: Click on view icon to go to the product view page.
Edit Product Details: Once there, click the edit icon. This will bring you to the details tab of the product.
Upload Image: Drag and drop the image you've prepared for this product. The first image you upload will be set as the default.
Add More Images: If needed, you can drag and drop additional images.
Save: Once satisfied, click save. Your product will now display the uploaded image.
Note: This method is most efficient when you want to upload images to individual products.
2. Bulk Upload Through File Manager
Steps:
Navigate to File Manager: Scroll down to the bottom of your menu to find 'File Manager'.
Bulk Upload: Here, you can upload images in increments of 10 at once.
Attach Image to Product: After uploading, click the edit icon of the desired image. Besides options like cropping and adding descriptions, you can also attach it to a product. Simply type in the product name in the "Attach to Product:" field, choose the relevant option, and then click the "Update file" button.
Tip: This method is particularly useful if you want a visual representation of your images before attaching them to products.
3. Use Product Images Wizard
Steps:
Access Product Images Wizard: Find this under Product -> Image Wizard. It's designed to guide you through products that lack images.
Select and Attach Image: The wizard will display the first product without an image. Choose an image to attach to it, then click 'Select and Next'.
Iterate Through Products: The wizard will continue displaying products without images. Simply attach the appropriate image to each product as you move through the list.
Bulk Upload: You also have the option to drag and drop multiple images from your computer and select them directly within the wizard.
Skip Product: If you do not have a ready image for a given product, user the "Skip" button to move on to the next product.
Advantage: This method is especially efficient if you have a sequence of similar products that need images.
