Media operations in Product Images page

Modified on Thu, 14 May at 11:21 AM

The Product images page gives you full control over your product media. From uploading and organizing images to managing videos, watermarks, backgrounds, and bulk actions across multiple sales channels.



Valigara works with two levels:

  • General level — the media stored directly in Valigara

  • Channel level — media assigned only to a specific marketplace or store

This distinction affects how operations behave. Changes made on the General level affect Valigara itself and can impact all connected channels. Changes made on a specific channel affect only that marketplace/store.
