Product image galleries

Your main product detail pages can be setup to include image galleries. This functionality enables you to setup your shop so that when a shopper clicks on an image in your gallery:

  • the main product image is changed to the image they clicked on
  • the option that this image relates to is automatically selected in the option drop down menu

You may need to talk to your website developer to enable this feature to display in your website theme. But the functionality is there ready for you to use.

To add images to your image gallery, go to the “Gallery” tab when editing your product.

From the Front End

View your individual product page and click on “Gallery” in the admin bar.
