The detailed images section allows you to add
larger images that are displayed on your product
page. The maximum width in pixels is 400 thus
allowing a more detailed and larger image
then the product thumbnail image. Detailed
images are displayed below the main product
information and you can upload multiple detailed
images to showcase your product.
To access the "Detailed Images" feature, click on "Modify
product" and use the "Search
products" interface to find and list
your product. In the "Search results" display, select the product that you
wish to modify and click the "Modify" button. On
the "Modify product" page for your selected
product, scroll down to the "Detailed
Images" section.
Steps for adding a detailed image:
To add a detailed image, press the "Browse"
button to open the image selection window.
A new window (Image selection) is opened with
a total of three options. The first option
allows you to select an image that is already on
our server if you had previously uploaded an
image to your "Files" area. The second option
allows you to choose an image on your computer
and the third option allows you to specify a URL
of an image on another server.
In most cases, you will be choosing an image
that resides on your computer so click the
"Browse" button under "File on your local
computer".
After clicking the "Browse" button, your
Operating Systems' native file browser opens. In
this example, we are using Windows XP so use the
proper method according to your particular OS.
Browse to the location of your image, click to
highlight the image and press the "open" button.

Note:
- The
image must be in either GIF or JPG format.
- Make sure that there are
no illegal characters such
as an apostrophe in your
image file names
- When preparing
your files (on your local
computer) for upload, always
save them with file names that
contain no spaces.

The image location has now been added to the
"File on your local computer" field. Now, press the "Apply" button.
After pressing the "Apply" button in the
"Image selection" window, the window
automatically closes. The image that you
selected is now displayed as a preview
thumbnail. To upload the image and complete the
process, press the "Upload" button.
The image has now been successfully added as
a "detail image" to your product page.
If you wish to add an ALT tag (text displayed
when a customer's mouse pointer is hovered over
the image), to your image (recommended), you may
do so by typing in the text that you wish to
have displayed into the "Alternative text" field
and press the "Update" button.
You can also disable the image by selecting
"Disabled" from the "Availability" dropdown box
and pressing the "Update" button. Changing a
detailed image to "Disabled" will remove the
detailed image from your product page without
actually deleting it. When you want to display
it again, you can select "Enabled" from the
"Availability" dropdown and press the "Update"
button.
Lastly, if you wish to delete a detailed
image, press the "Delete" button next to the
detailed image that you wish to delete.
