What are Image Overlays

Image overlays give you the ability to add additional images to a single product image or to multiple product images via a file upload - for example "Free Shipping" and any other offers you may wish to use.

Adding Products to your new overlay

Once you have saved your new overlay for the first time, you will be presented with additional options to add products either by searching for them in your store using a part number, or by uploading an excel file import

Connect Product:

Using this option you can then search for a part number and if available in your store, you will be able to connect this product to your new image overlay.

Connect products using Excel:

Using this option, you can connect multiple products at the same time:

Download the template and add the part numbers you wish to add to this image overlay. Then upload the file and the image overlay will be updated across multiple products. 

If you have existing products connected, you can use the functionality "full file import" to complete erase any existing products and upload a brand new set of products for the overlay, or if unchecked, you can add any products that are new on your latest import.
