Product Images

Before you can use images with a product you must upload them to the website using the Product Image Upload.

 Edit Product Images

Product Images are managed in the Product Edit function.   The list of existing images is displayed.

Edit Button allows you to select a different image (see Browse below) or change the name associated with the image.

Delete Button removes the image from the list.  It does not delete the image from the website.

Up Down Buttons The Up/Down buttons are used to change the order of images in the list.  The order is important because this may be used to determine which image to display.  For example the first image is shown by default when a product is displayed.
