How to Import Products From Images
Create all your product content based on the images within a folder

Create a folder named appropriately to the products you are going to import

eg. 
clothing

You can of course create a folder inside this if you wish to break down your products by categories

eg. 

  • mens
  • womens
  • kids

This is to separate all the images so it makes it easier to find and categorise later

Store your photos in the appropriate folder

Rename all the photos exactly as you would want them named as products in your shop/web page.

Before you upload

Use - instead of a space
Use all lowercase letters

Not only will this help with the import it will help with the search engines categorising and listing your images as valid searches.

eg.

  • brown-leather-jacket.jpg
  • black-suede-jacket.jpg
  • parka.jpg
  • berghaus-hydrosheill.jpg
  • etc.

The imported products will take on the exact name of the image.

eg.

  • brown-leather-jacket.jpg will be listed as Brown Leather Jacket
