Adding More Images To Products

Overview

If you would like to add additional gallery images onto products with existing images, follow the below instructions:

Create Your CSV File

This CSV only needs to contain the columns and new image files you will be adding to your products.

Adding a new Image as the Main Image
Placing the image path or URL in the "image" column will set it as the Main Image upon Import. The only required columns for this import are "sku" and "image"
Adding a new Image to the Gallery
Simply place image paths or URLs into the "_media_image" column. 1 row per new image. The only columns required for this import are "sku" and "_media_image"

📘

Note: You can not re-sort the gallery with this import

New Images can be added with a custom sort position, but if you need to re-sort your image gallery, you will need to follow instructions for Replacing Product Images

CSV Structure

🚧

Note that multiple gallery images are handled with new rows.
Note that the Main Image is repeated in the image and media_image columns and the Main Image's Alt Tag is put in the media_label col

Notes on above:

• Image - Full URL Path used because this image is stored externally and will be downloaded during the CSV import.
• *Media_image - Relative path used because image was uploaded onto Zoey server in Import & Export > Product Images (see below)
