Using a 3-column photo set can be incredibly useful when managing multiple SKUs on a single product page. It allows you to specify distinct images for the page photo, solo photo (shown on the order form), and supporting images for each SKU. Here's how to set it up:
Step 1: Add the Photo Columns to Your Product Table
Open your product table and create three new columns. These will hold the different images for each product.
- Name them Page Photo, Solo Photo, and Other or Supporting Photos.
(Note: If you're using an API, you'll need to add these columns via the backend.)
Go to your product table and click Update Columns.
Step 2: Tag the Columns for Photos
In the Update Columns page, tag the columns as follows:
- For the Page Photo column: Tag it as Photoset - Page.
- For the Solo Photo column: Tag it as Photoset - Solo.
- For the Other or Supporting Photos column: Tag it as Photoset - Others.
Click “Accept Upload” after tagging the columns.
Step 3: Define the Photoset Name
Return to Update Columns and scroll to your newly added photo columns.
In the "Photoset Name" field for each of the three columns, enter the same name (e.g., “HF Photoset”). This ensures that all three columns are linked to the same photo set.
Click “Accept Upload” to save your changes.
Step 4: Set Up the Photoset in the Catalog
Go to Manage Catalog and select Slideshows/Catalogs on the left-hand menu.
Click Edit on your Master Slideshow (typically named "The Full Catalog").
In the Photos drop-down, select the Photoset Name you entered earlier (e.g., “HF Photoset”).
Step 5: Assign Photos to SKUs
Now that the photo set is connected to your catalog, it’s time to assign images to each SKU:
Page Photo: You can only assign one image here. This image will appear as the main photo for the product page in your catalog.
Solo Photo: Assign one image here. This image will appear for that SKU on the order form.
Other or Supporting Photos: You can assign multiple images here, separated by commas. These will appear as supporting images for that SKU in the catalog.
Step 6: Verify the Setup
Finally, make sure your images are correctly assigned by using either the Photo Matching Tool or by editing the table directly. Ensure that the images appear as expected on the product page and order form.
Pro Tip:
- The Page Photo column should only contain one image, as it dictates the main product image in the catalog.
- The Solo Photo column will be the image used on the order form for that specific SKU.
- You can add as many supporting images as you like in the Other Photo column, but make sure to separate them with commas.
Once you’ve followed these steps, your product images will be correctly assigned and displayed across AMP Sell and AMP Shop, making it easier for your team and customers to view and purchase products with the right options!
