• increase buyer trust

• improve listing transparency

• add perceived product value

• provide a more professional shopping experience

Certificate images can be automatically published together with product images across connected sales channels.

You can configure global certificate image behavior inside:

Global Settings

• Certificate Image Size - set the default certificate image dimensions used across the system.
• Use Certificates as Product Images - allows certificate and packaging images to appear together with standard product photos on marketplaces. By clicking Options you can set the visivility.
• Define Image Positions - you can define the exact order of certificate images inside the gallery.

Upload Certificates via Excel spreades

Certificate data can also be imported using spreadsheet files while importing or updating Gemstones or Products.

When importing certificate data:

• map certificate columns to the correct Valigara fields,

• verify mappings carefully before import.

Incorrect field mapping is one of the most common import issues.

Direct file links only - if certificates are imported using links:

• the link must point directly to the file,

• not to a webpage containing the file.

Incorrect URLs may prevent certificates from importing properly.
