Send product images – Image input data schema description
Image type and purpose:
Parent SKU main image: Generally only used for search and browsing pages.
Sub-item SKU main image: used for product details page. This must only show items that are on sale.
Backup images: should show different sides of the product and/or details not shown in the “main image”, or the product in use. You can provide up to 8 backup images per SKU. Alternate views appear as thumbnails on product detail pages, and the image enlarges when scrolling or clicking.
Sample pictures: Thumbnails displayed on the right side of some detail pages to show the color or close-up of fabrics or materials. These images must be provided for all child SKUs and they must only show the color or fabric of the specific color/item being sold.
Main Offer Photo – The main photo of the product, displayed on the “More Seller Offers” page. Product photos must be used only to show “Pre-Owned” and “Collectible” condition. Product images should describe the features of the item you are selling and describe other attributes that will help buyers determine its condition and value.
Supply images -1, -2, -3, -4, -5—other “used” and “collectible” images.
Note: During the upload process, images must be stored on a non-password-protected web server so that Amazon can retrieve them. Each submitted image must have a complete URL, such as http://mystore.com/images/1234.jpg. Amazon cannot access images stored in protected URLs (http), so be sure to use http.
Image Standards: Please see product images and product photos for different standards.
