Bulk Image Uploads

Bulk Image Uploads

From looking in the Square help section and seller community, there is currently no option to upload images for products, rather one must edit a product via the dashboard to add a photo.

 

With a small number of products this is (potentially) feasible, however with in excess of a 1,000 products, this option would prove very time hungry.

 

The ability to upload an archive file, with a CSV and images would save literally hours and thousands of clicks.

 

Suggestion 1:

Add a field to import CSV called "product_image" which contains the product image filename which is found in an uploadable ZIP, or possibly imported from a URL.

 

Suggestion 2:

Upload a ZIP containing a CSV with product names/tokens and image filename and image folder.

 

<filename>.zip
  |
  |-import.csv
  |
  |-images/
        |
        |-image-file-1.jpg
|-image-file-2.jpg
|-image-file-3.png

 

The CSV would contain two fields (markdown for readability):

 

| product_name        | image_file       |
|:--------------------|:-----------------| | Product Name 1 | image-file-1.jpg | | Product Name 2 | image-file-2.jpg | | Product Name 3 | image-file-3.png |

It has been nearly 2 years since this was suggested. It seems like a simple request, but the feature has not yet been added. Do you know if there are now plans to implement this request? It is infinitely more complicated to attach images to products through Square than it is through competing platforms.

 

No its not. its 7 years
