Upload Product Images in the CMS

Overview

Upload product images in the CMS in Product Maintenance.  Unlike images uploaded via the Integrator, there are no restrictions on the number of images you can upload and how an image is named. You can also add tags to an image. 

File Manager in the CMS can be used to maintain product images. However, you cannot assign images to specific products unless you are replacing an assigned image with another of the same file name. 

Upload images in Product Maintenance 

When you upload the image, four copies of the uploaded image will automatically be created and placed in the appropriate folder.

To upload a product image, navigate to Products & Categories → Product Maintenance, then find the product you require. Scroll down to the Product Media section.

Adding Images

1. To add an image or multiple images simultaneously, click Upload Images.
   
2. Go to your file(s) and click on them to select. Use 'Ctrl-click' or 'Shift-click' to select multiple images. Click Open.
   
   
   
3. Once the images have finished uploading, click Insert.
   
   
   
4. Once you click Insert, the image thumbnails will display in the product's media list.
   
5. To enter relevant descriptions of your image, enter a value, then click Add Tag. You can add more than one tag.
   
   
6. Click Save or Save and Exit. Copies of the uploaded image will display in the appropriate folder.

Additional Information

By default, the CMS-uploaded image at the top of this list will be the first image displayed in any search on your site and in the Product Detail page. If a product has images uploaded via the Integrator and the CMS and you want the first Integrator-uploaded image to display first, please contact Commerce Vision to enable this option. NOTE - this option is available only for versions 4.21.02 and above.
