Having product images is key to your on-line business's success! Since your customers can't actually touch what it is you are providing they will need to at least see what they will be getting. This tutorial will show you how to manage and upload your product images within the Shopsite shopping cart.
Getting Started
Step #1: Logging into Shopsite
Before you can start uploading any images into Shopsite you have to first be logged into its web based interface. Depending on your hosting provider you will have been given access information in order to login. If you do NOT have this information, get it from you host.
Once you have logged into your Shopsite back office you will be presented with a screen just like the one displayed above.
Step #2: Accessing the Image’s Section
Click on the IMAGES button.
Step #3: Creating an Image Folder
If you have a lot of product images to upload then we recommend you create folders for them. At a minimum you should setup a ‘Large’ and ‘Small’ folder to hold your thumbnails and more information page product images.
Click the Create button.
Type your Folder’s name and click the OK button.
Note that we created a ‘Large’ folder. This is where we will put all of our Large More Information page images.
Step #4: Uploading an Image
Select the folder you wish to upload the image into and click the View button.
Click the Upload an Image button.
Click the Browse button.
Browse your computer until you find the IMAGE you wish to upload. Select it and click on the Open button.
Click on the Upload File button.
Step #5: Leaving the Image Upload Area
When you are done uploading your images click on the Shopsite button to return to the back office Front Page.
