1. We recommend using your own product photography. It’s an excellent idea because:

   • Your own photography is unique and original which no one has seen before
   • Professionally photographed images grab attention – customers are more likely to order products with eye-catching images rather than those without images.

      

     However, if you’re in a rush to go live without product images, don’t worry. You can do either of the following:

     Use stock images downloaded from Shutterstock, Freepik or any other website that offers license-free images. Many of them are downloadable for free or at affordable prices

     OR

     Upload your brand logo in place of the missing product images until they’re available.

    

For now, you can upload one image per product, but don’t worry – we’re working on introducing the option of uploading multiple images for each product.
