One of a series of tips related to making the most of your Ecwid eCommerce store.When building your product portfolio in your Ecwid store, sometimes a single product image isn’t enough. When you want to implement a multi-image gallery for a particular product, here’s what you need to do:
- Store the (additional) images you wish to include in a folder on your computer.
- Navigate to the product in the Ecwid store.
- Select the “Gallery” tab, then click “upload images”.
- Use the “Browse” button to navigate to the folder where your images are stored.
NOTE: You can select multiple images within the same dialog by clicking the “plus” sign – it’ll add another “Browse” button.
- Once you’ve selected all the images you wish to upload, click the “upload images” button. Your images will appear in the product’s image “gallery”.
NOTE: You can reorder the images by dragging & dropping if you wish.
- Just beneath each image is a small box with “- Image name –“ in light gray letters. Use that box as an image caption.
- Once you’ve added a caption to each of your gallery images, click “Save” (or “Save & Close” if you’re done editing the product).
If the product was already in the store and you want to include the initial product image in the gallery along with the images you added:
- Click the product’s “General” tab.
- Scroll down to the “Product Image”.
- Right-click the image and save it to where you have the other product images stored.
- Go back to the “Gallery” and upload the image like you did the others.
NOTE: Since this is the “main” product image, I’d recommend putting it in the first image position.
That’s it! Enjoy your expanded product image gallery!
