📌 Notes & Tips
🔗 Dropbox Image URLs
If you’re using Dropbox to host your images, make sure to add ?dl=1 at the end of each link. This allows the image to be uploaded properly.
✅ Example:https://www.dropbox.com/s/example/image.jpg?dl=1
⚠️ PhotoName Column Must Match ItemID
One important difference between this method and manually uploading images:
🔹 Note: The value in the PhotoName column must exactly match the ItemID (excluding the file extension).
This is necessary for the system to correctly associate the image with the product.
