Import Product Image

This video provides a practical walkthrough on how to Import Product Images in Odoo 18, demonstrating the process of batch-uploading product visuals to enhance your digital storefront and internal inventory records.

• Navigating to Products: The video starts within the Sales or Inventory module, navigating to the Products menu where all existing items are listed.
• Exporting the Template: The narrator demonstrates how to select an item and export its record to create a data template. This ensuring your import file has the correct column headers, including the specific Image field.
• Data Mapping for Images: A key technical point is shown in the spreadsheet: product images are typically stored as URL links or base64 encoded strings in the import file, ensuring Odoo knows exactly which visual to associate with which product.
• The Import Workflow: The video walks through clicking Favorite > Import Records and uploading the prepared spreadsheet.
• Mapping the Fields: The narrator shows the importance of matching the columns in your file to the correct fields in Odoo, specifically focusing on the Image column to guarantee successful visual updates.
• Testing and Validating: Before the final import, the video emphasizes using the Test button to check for any errors in the data format, ensuring a smooth and error-free upload.
• Final Product View: The process concludes by showing the updated product record, now complete with its newly imported image, which is instantly visible in both the back-end and the e-commerce store.
