How to import images?
Updated over 10 months ago

Elovate supports importing images. There are 2 ways to import images to your Magento store: by relative URL or by absolute URL.

Relative URL

Providing Elovate with a relative URL can be done as follows:

sku

image

elovate-product-with-image

/image.png

The relative URL will look for the image in the following folder of your Magento root:
/pub/media/import/

In order for the import to validate, please make sure the image supplied in the import is physically present in this folder.

Absolute URL

Providing Elovate with an absolute URL can be done as follows:

sku

image

elovate-product-with-image

The image provided as absolute URL will make Elovate try to download the image from this location. This can, for example, also be an image from Dropbox of Google Drive. Make sure that the image supplied in the import file can be accessed publicly.

If your image already exists in your Magento store, you can access the image as follows:

Magento stores it's images by creating a folder based on the first letter and second letter of the image name. These folders are created with the /media/catalog/product folder, in this case /media/catalog/product/i/m
