Admin panels › Product details
Media
The photographs, video and per-variant images that do most of the selling on a product page. 3 parts.
Before you start
Where it lives, and how the panel works
From your WordPress dashboard open EasyCart › Products, open a product, then choose Media.
WP Admin › EasyCart › Products › open a product › Media
Search instead of hunting
The search box at the top of the page filters it as you type, and it matches hidden keywords as well as names. The same box on the Settings home searches every panel at once.
Jump between sections
A section list sits beside the page and follows you down it, so you can move straight to the part you came for without scrolling through everything between.
Advanced settings are folded away
Each section hides its rarely-changed settings behind a Show N advanced settings link, naming the first few so you know whether it is worth opening. 0 of the 0 settings on this page start folded.
Dependent settings appear as needed
Settings shown indented here only exist once the setting above them is switched on. Sections of the editor reveal their fields as you switch a feature on, and hide them again when you switch it off.
Saving
Switches and dropdowns save the moment you change them. Anything you type collects in a save bar at the foot of the page that counts your unsaved changes and warns you before you navigate away.
Locked settings
Rows marked with a padlock need WP EasyCart PRO or Premium. They stay visible so you can see what the upgrade adds. Nothing on this page is locked.
Showing the product
Images, video and variants
The gallery and its order, video in place, and images that follow the option a shopper picks.
Product images
The gallery, and which image does the selling
no stored settingsImages are added and dragged into order, and the order matters: the first tile is the listing image, the one shoppers see in grids and search results. It is the single most important asset on the product, because it decides whether anybody clicks at all.
The rest form the gallery on the product page. Shoppers who are close to buying look for the angle that answers their doubt, so scale, back views and detail shots earn their place more than variations on the same hero shot.
How images behave in listings, whether they zoom on hover, open in a lightbox, or swap to a second image, is set store-wide rather than per product. Several of those effects need the product to have extra images, which is one reason a single-image product looks flat next to its neighbours.
💡 Note: The first image is the listing image. Reordering the gallery changes what shoppers see in grids, so check the order after adding new photographs.
Video
YouTube, Vimeo or a hosted file, sitting in the gallery
no stored settingsA video sits alongside the photographs in the gallery rather than in a separate tab, so shoppers find it while they are already looking. YouTube, Vimeo and a hosted MP4 are all accepted.
Video earns its keep on anything where scale, motion or assembly is hard to convey in a still. It is wasted on products a photograph already explains.
Per-option image sets
Different images for different variants
no stored settingsWhere a product has option sets, each choice in the first set can carry its own images. A shirt in red, green and blue shows the red photographs when red is selected.
This is the difference between a shopper trusting what they are ordering and guessing. On anything sold by colour or finish it is close to essential, and it removes a large share of returns caused by expectation rather than fault.
The editor shows which sets have images attached and which do not, so a half-photographed range is visible rather than something you discover from a complaint.
💡 Note: Per-option images follow the first option set on the product, which is configured under Options & Variants.
