If you do not need to completely reupload product photos, but only change their order, for example, it is not enough to simply import new data. You need to first import a new neutral product photo to remove the previous images, and then add the correct images in the required order.
Step 1.
Go to Products and click Export to download products that are subject to changes in Excel (extended) format.
Step 2.
Upload a neutral image to the website through any text field (for example, Product description) that will serve as a temporary placeholder. It can be your logo, for example.
Copy the link to the image you uploaded.
Step 3.
Paste the copied link in the appropriate column of the table for all products in which you want to overwrite the photos. Save the table.
💡 Tip
Image column — the images that will be displayed only for this variant.
Gallery column — the images that will be displayed for all variants.
To overwrite photos, you just need to leave only the SKUs and columns with links to the photo in the file. All other columns can be deleted.
Step 4.
Import the table.
On the import preview page, the attributes will be mapped automatically, except for Image and Gallery. You need to map them manually:
In the Actions with products window, select Overwrite for the photos.
Now you can upload photos in the correct order in a convenient way.
