Channel-Specific Images

Click here for information on this function in Sellercloud’s original interface.
The channel-specific images feature lets you send different images as the primary image or other
image per channel. This feature is available for images that have a background, but you want to
use them as your main description images.

Certain channels, such as Amazon, require images with a white background (or no background),
so you can use this feature to send a compliant image to Amazon and send your image with a
background to another channel.

This feature is available for the following channels:

  • Amazon
  • Sears
  • Walmart Marketplace
  • Website
  • Magento
