Managing Product Images in Magento Multi Site

Overview

If your site is using Magento Multi Site, you have the option of uploading different images within each store for the same product or using the same images across all the stores/sites.  The steps below will take you through the process.

Using the Same Images

  • Log in to Magento > Catalog > Manage Products and find the product you're going to work with.
  • Edit the product to open it.
  • Go to the Images Tab, leaving the Store View set to Default Values.

  • Notice that there are not any images selected; all the options will be marked as No image.
  •  Change the options so that the image(s) is selected.
  • Save!

Once you save, you'll notice two things have happened:

  • The thumbnail shows on the Magento Product Dashboard.
  • The thumbnail also shows on the site.

 Uploading Different Images

  • Log in to Magento > Catalog > Manage Products and find the product you're going to work with.
  • Edit the product to open it.
  • Go to the Images Tabchanging the Store View to the store you want to work in.

  

  • Now you can upload images in the usual way.  Select Browse, and then upload your images.
  • After your images upload, you can assign which one is the thumbnail and the display order.
  • Save!
