To upload an image as a URL metafield for each product, you can follow these steps:
1. Create a Metafield Definition:
-
First, create a metafield definition in your Shopify store for the image URL. You can do this in the Shopify admin under Settings -> Custom data -> Products -> Add definition.
-
Choose a namespace and key for your metafield, for example, custom and additional_image_url.
-
Set the type to URL.
2. Prepare Your Import File:
-
Create a CSV or Excel file with at least the following columns:
-
Handle (to identify the product)
-
Metafield: custom.additional_image_url [url] (to store the image URL)
Here's an example of how your file might look:
Handle,Metafield: custom.additional_image_url [url]
product-1,https://example.com/image1.jpg
product-2,https://example.com/image2.jpg
3. Import the File Using DataEase:
-
Go to the DataEase app in your Shopify store.
-
Click on Import.
-
Upload your CSV or Excel file.
-
Review the import settings and make any necessary adjustments.
-
Click on Import to start the import process.
