Example of a product page after adding images

Note:

  1. Even if the first file (e.g., Example.jpg) is missing or file names are not in sequential order, it can still be added without any issues. For example, if there are only three files with the names “sample_1.jpg”, “sample_2.jpg”, and “sample_4.jpg”, they will be added in ascending order based on the numbers.
  2. If you want to change the file names in bulk, it is convenient to use the freeware introduced in this article. If you have any difficulties, please email to us, “info@marketdive.jp”.

This is a feature that allows you to narrow down the products for which you add images by specifying conditions such as product tags, collections, and the registration period.

Specify the registration period for the products

This feature allows you to add images only for products registered within a specific period. You can freely select the period using the calendar. You can also choose the period from the options on the left side of the calendar.

Once you’ve specified the period, click the “Run” button. That’s all there is to it.
