How to Add Product Images and Galleries

Adding product images and galleries in CS-Cart is essential for showcasing your products effectively. Here's how you can do it:

1. Log In to Your Admin Panel:

   Open your web browser and go to the admin panel of your CS-Cart store. Log in using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to Products:

   In the admin panel, look for the "Products" tab in the main menu. Click on it to access the products section.

3. Edit or Add a Product:

   Either select an existing product from the list or add a new product by clicking the "Add Product" button.

4. Go to the Images Tab:

   Once you're in the product editing page, find the "Images" tab. This tab is typically located next to the "General" tab.

5. Upload Images:
   • To add a single image, click the "Add Images" button. Select the image file from your computer and upload it.
   • To add multiple images, you can use the "Multi-uploader" option if available. This allows you to select and upload multiple images at once.
6. Set Image Ordering:
   • After uploading, you can rearrange the order of the images by dragging and dropping them.
7. Configure Image Settings:
   • For each image, you can set an Alt text (useful for SEO and accessibility) and a Description (optional).
8. Create Image Galleries (if applicable):
   • If you want to create a gallery for the product, you can use the "Create Gallery" button (if available). This allows you to group images together.
9. Save Changes:
   • Once you have added and configured the images and galleries, make sure to save the changes to the product.
10. Check Product on Storefront:

• Go to your storefront and navigate to the product to ensure that the images and galleries are displayed correctly.

Additional Tips:

• Optimize Images: Before uploading, it's recommended to optimize your images for web use. This can help improve page load times.
• Consider Video: CS-Cart may also support video uploads for products. If this is relevant to your products, you can explore adding videos alongside images.
• Image Variants: If your product has different variations (e.g., color options), make sure to add images for each variant.
• Image Editing: If needed, you can use image editing software to crop, resize, or make other adjustments to your product images before uploading them.

Remember to save your settings after making any changes. This will ensure that the images and galleries are associated with the product correctly and displayed as intended on your storefront.
