Uploading category images

You can upload up to three images for a category. These images are displayed in various pages in the Customer Center of the B2B setup. The images include:

  • A thumbnail image – Displayed in the category tree

  • A preview image – Displayed in the gallery page

  • A background image – For non-leaf categories

Each time you add a new category for which you wish to display an image, you must upload an image file. The image file must have one of the following formats-*.JPG, *.GIF or *.PNG

To upload an image for a category:

  1. Log on to the Business Center as a merchant administrator.
  2. Click Items > Categories link in the navigator.
  3. In the Categories page, select the category you want edit.

    The Category Details page is displayed.

  4. In the Category Images area, click Upload.
  5. To select images to upload from your local computer, click Add Files.

    – Or –

    Drag and drop images from your local computer to the Media Uploader canvass.

    If you are using Internet Explorer as browser, you cannot add multiple images simultaneously. You can drag and drop images only with version 10 or later.

  6. To upload files individually, click the arrow button on the upper right-hand corner of the image.
