Adding product images to eCommerce listings
When a CSM listing record is created from a Business Central item with an attached item picture, this picture will automatically be assigned to the listing as an image.
Video Length: Approximately 4-5 minutes
Product: CSM (Channel Sales Manager)
What You’ll Learn
This video walks you through two methods for adding images to your CSM listings in Business Central. You’ll see how to add single images one at a time, plus how to bulk import multiple images for multiple products—saving you time when you’re managing a large product catalog.
Key Takeaways
Automatic Image Assignment
When you create a CSM listing from a Business Central item that already has an attached picture, that image automatically transfers to your listing. No extra steps required.
Two Upload Methods
- Single Image Upload – Best when you need to add one or a few images to a specific product
- Bulk Import – Perfect for handling large volumes of images across multiple listings
Supported File Formats
You can upload .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, .TIF, and .PNG files.
What the Video Covers
Method 1: Adding Individual Images
- Opening the CSM listing record
- Using the “Add Image to Product Information” action
- Importing images via drag-and-drop or the import function
- Adding multiple images to the same listing
Method 2: Bulk Import Process
- Required file naming conventions (critical for success)
- Preparing your image files with proper SKU-based names
- Creating and uploading a zip file
- Importing through the CSM sales channel card
- Understanding import results
Important Details About Bulk Import
The video covers specific naming conventions you’ll need to follow:
- Image file names must match your channel item SKU values
- Each additional image needs a sequential number extension (_1, _2, _3, etc.)
- You’ll remove the file extension from the name
- All images get packaged into a single zip file before import
Example: For a product with SKU “product123,” you’d name images: product123_1, product123_2, product123_3
