Image and Document Types

Product Images and Thumbnails

Product Images and Thumbnails are the images you'll upload most on your Straightsell website. A Product image file name must match the Product Code in the accounting system. You can have more than one image per product, with additional images are appended with an underscore and a number.
In this case, AB400.jpg, AB400_1.jpg and AB400_2.jpg have been uploaded and display as the primary, second and third image respectively.

Product Image uploaded into /productimages
When you select the /productimages folder in the Upload tab of Documents & Images, the Create Thumbnails option is checked to create a thumbnail automatically, viewable when browsing product categories.
