Below is a guide on how to submit images to Magasin for use on our online site.
All images must be in .jpg or .png format.
A Helpful Tip
We recommend using at least 2 images per product, showing the product from different angles.
Please provide:
Packshots
Product images
Lifestyle images
Model images
Depending on your product category.
Our experience shows that products with both packshots and lifestyle/model images perform significantly better on our online platform.
Files for reference can be found at the bottom of this guide.
How to Submit Images to Magasin
There are three ways to link images to products submitted to Magasin:
1. URL Paths
This method uses public links to websites where the images are hosted.
Important: The link must be publicly accessible from any computer.
Do not use Dropbox or other services requiring a password or login.
Insert the URL link in your pricat or the specific online data file you normally submit to Magasin.
An example of how to structure URL paths in a file can be found below.
2. Name Images by Barcode
Name each image using the product’s barcode.
-
If you have multiple images for the same product, use the following format:
barcode.jpgbarcode-1.jpgbarcode-2.jpg… up to
barcode-8.jpg(maximum 8 images per product).
For clothing, use one barcode (from one of the sizes) for all images belonging to that style.
Send the images via WeTransfer in a zipped folder for easy import into our system.
Send the folder to: pictures@magasinscm.zendesk.com
3. Insert Image Names in Your Pricat or Online Data File
Enter the exact image name in the Image Reference column.
Additional images can be listed in the following columns – up to 8 images per product.
The image name must exactly match the file name.
The file must include the barcode to which the image should be linked.
For clothing, use the same image name across all sizes for the same style.
Send the images via WeTransfer in a zipped folder to:
