Bulk Uploading Images

You can upload up to 1,000 images at once, either to create new items or to add photos to items you already have. Each image can be up to 20 MB.

Getting Started​

Go to your Inventory List, click on the down caret button next to "New Item" and select Upload Images from the dropdown menu:

Upload images menu option

Then choose how you want to upload images:

Adding Images to Existing Items​

Propcart matches each image to an item by its filename, which must start with the item's SKU. Uppercase and lowercase letters are treated the same, so abc123.jpg is attached to the item with SKU ABC123.

New images are added after the item's existing photos. An item can have up to 20 photos. Images that would take an item over 20 aren't uploaded, and they're listed with "Photo limit exceeded".

Naming more than one image per item​

Put a space after the SKU, then a letter or number:

ABC123 a.jpg
ABC123 b.jpg
ABC123 c.jpg

Everything after the first space is ignored when matching, so the letter or number can't be mistaken for part of another SKU.

Images are added in the order of their filenames, and the first becomes the item's main photo. A filename that's just the SKU comes first, and numbers are ordered by value, so these are added in this order:

ABC123.jpg
ABC123 2.jpg
ABC123 10.jpg

You can also add a letter right after the SKU (ABC123a.jpg, ABC123b.jpg). This works too, but see the first point below if any of your SKUs end in a letter.

How images are matched to SKUs​

Propcart reads the filename up to the first space or period, then attaches the image to the longest SKU that it starts with. For ABC123b.jpg, it looks for ABC123B, then ABC123, then ABC12 and so on, and stops at the first SKU that exists.

This means:

  • A letter or number right after the SKU can spell another SKU. If you have items with both ABC123 and ABC123B as SKUs, ABC123b.jpg is attached to ABC123B. ABC123 b.jpg is attached to ABC123.
  • A typo can attach an image to the wrong item. If ABC1234 doesn't exist but ABC123 does, ABC1234 a.jpg is attached to ABC123.

Check the matches before uploading​

After you drop your images in, Propcart lists each item with its SKU and the images that will be added to it. Images that don't match any SKU are listed with "No matching SKU".

Check that each image is listed under the right SKU, then click the blue Upload X Images button.
