Using the Auto Match feature helps you streamline the image adding process by attempting to match up an image's file name with an existing product's STYLE ID and OPTION CODE so you don't have to add images one by one when creating Products in bulk. Here's how to use the Auto Match feature:
Add Products to Brandboom
This article assumes that you have already created multiple products in your Products page without images, either Manually or by Importing Products through Excel.
To learn more about creating Products in Brandboom, see this article.
Prepare your Image File Names
Since the Auto Match feature attempts to match the image's file name with an existing product's STYLE ID and OPTION CODE, we suggest naming your images accordingly for accurate matches.
For example:
Style ID: "Handbag"
Option Code: "Green"
Recommended image name: "Handbag-Green.jpg"
If you want to match multiple images with a single product, simply add a number at the end of the image's file name and the system will recognize it as an additional match.
Additional images should be named Handbag-Green1.jpg, Handbag-Green2.jpg, Handbag-Green3.jpg and so on.
Once you've prepared your products and uploaded your images, you are ready to start matching!
