Manage Image Collection

In e-commerce, an image collection is essential for showcasing products and driving sales. High-quality images help customers visualize products, understand their features, and make informed purchasing decisions. This includes clear, detailed product images from multiple angles, lifestyle images showing products in real-life scenarios, and hero images that highlight key products or promotions.

Steps to Create Image Collection

1: Navigate to the collections menu and Click on "Image Collections"

2: Select “ADD COLLECTION” button from the top right menu on the category collection listing page.

3: Provide a name to this Image collection. It is recommended to keep the name same as where it will be used for easy identification (e.g., Home page hero banner).
