This tutorial assumes you already know what Two-Way Sync is and how to configure it. If not, please review the How Two-Way Sync Works tutorial first.

1. Choose the Product Images template

From the home page, select the Update Products category in the template filter bar and click Create on the Product Images template. If you are configuring a spreadsheet from scratch, click New Spreadsheet, select Two-Way Sync as the sync direction, and then choose the Product Images template.

2. Add Images to Products

To add a new image to a product, add a row with no Id (Image) but with a valid URL in the Src (Image) column and the product's Id (Product). The following fields are required:

Optional fields: Position (Image) — integer that sets the image order (1-based); Alt Text (Image) — accessibility alt text for the image.

In the example below, two new images are being added to an existing product. The rows have Id (Product) filled in and a public image URL in Src (Image), while Id (Image) is left empty. After validation, those rows turn light green; confirming they will be created in Shopify on import.
