Image Overrides: Import/Export
Image Overrides let you replace or add product images in the catalog. This is useful for products with missing images or when you want to use your own photography instead of the catalog defaults.
Ecommerce Home Page > File Center
On the left-hand menu, click "Client: Import Image Overrides"
Step 1 - Download Template
Download the Compatible File Template which is in the blue hyperlink. Open the File Template from your computer.
Template Columns:
| Column | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| DistributorPart.distributor_sku | The distributor SKU in Ecommerce format with proper prefix. Image overrides apply at the product level — you only need to override one SKU per MPN. | Yes |
| ImageOverride.image | A valid image URL. Must use HTTPS (not HTTP) to comply with marketplace requirements. | Yes |
Key Details:
- Images must be hosted externally — you provide the URL, not the image file itself.
- HTTPS is required. HTTP image URLs will not work on eBay, Amazon, or other marketplaces.
- Since overrides apply at the MPN/product level, if multiple distributor SKUs share the same MPN, you only need to override one of them.
Step 2 - Populate Template With Data
