Product Images

Product Images display in a few areas.

The Images at the top will show on your website if applicable.

Images entered in the SKUs section display at the register and as swatches on your website, if applicable, and will eventually be on Picklists.

As you create products, its a good idea to add images as you go.

The ideal is to have the product floating on a white background and be around 800 x 800 pixels.
