Bulk Image Uploader for Shopify

To begin, launch the Bulk Image Uploader from the tile on the Your Store Tools dashboard.

For this method, you will NOT be uploading a supplemental file, so only upload your ZIP file and click Next.

By default, Your Store Tools will provide a notification on the dashboard as well as a notification via email when the job is complete.  If you choose not to receive a notification via email, you can turn this option off on this screen, or change the email address it will be sent to.

Once your selection is made, click Submit to finish.

By accessing the stacked menu in the upper right corner of the tool's tile from the dashboard, you can access the following:

• History - a list of the last 7 days of processing history for this tool.

The Simple Upload by SKU with Supplemental File method allows you to upload product images to your store that are named identically to your item's SKU - this includes the image name being cAsE sEnSiTiVe!  For example:

• Item SKU is 123AB-cd
  • Image file is named 123AB-CD.png
    • Image will NOT be associated with the item and will produce an error
  • Image file is named 123AB-cd.png
    • Image file will be associated with the item

If you are uploading more than one image for a SKU, you must append a "-" and a number to the image name to designate additional images, for example:

• Item SKU is 123AB-cd, and you want to upload 4 images, they must be named:
  • 123AB-cd-1.jpg
  • 123AB-cd-2.gif
  • 123AB-cd-3.gif
  • 123AB-cd-4.jpg

Once you have prepared your images, place them into a ZIP file.  As mentioned in the introduction, the maximum size allowed for your ZIP file is 250MB and each individual image file must be below 8MB in size.

This method requires a supplemental file which maps your images to the SKU and also sets ALT tags and which image should be used at the thumbnail.

To create your supplemental file, create a CSV file with a header row containing the following fields:

• SKU
• image_name: The name of the image in your ZIP file.
• ALT: Text for the image's ALT tag.
• thumb: Determines the thumbnail setting for the image:
  • TRUE will set the image as the thumbnail
  • FALSE will not set the image as the thumbnail

To begin, launch the Bulk Image Uploader from the tile on the Your Store Tools dashboard.

For this method, upload both a ZIP and a CSV supplemental file and click Next.

Map the columns in your CSV file to the appropriate fields, then click Next.

By default, Your Store Tools will provide a notification on the dashboard as well as a notification via email when the job is complete.  If you choose not to receive a notification via email, you can turn this option off on this screen, or change the email address it will be sent to.

The Advanced Upload method allows you to upload product images to your store that can have any file name and are mapped to your item's SKU using a supplemental CSV file.  You can upload as many images to a product as you need to, each mapped separately to the SKU in the CSV.

Once you have prepared your images, place them into a ZIP file.  As mentioned in the introduction, the maximum size allowed for your ZIP file is 250MB and each individual image file must be below 8MB in size.

This method requires a supplemental file which maps your images to the SKU and also sets ALT tags and which image should be used at the thumbnail.

It's important to note that, BigCommerce does not support ALT tags on variant images.  If you include ALT tags for variant images, they are simply ignored.

To create your supplemental file, create a CSV file with a header row containing the following fields:
