            Image Management

            Use B2C Commerce's Image Management System to create a matrix of images for each product.

            You use images on your storefront to enhance the customer buying experience. The Image Management System supports:

            • Multiple images per product, along with multi-dimensional access to individual images and image subsets for variation products and variation product attributes
            • Image annotation with alt text and image title
            • Images located both within B2C Commerce and externally
            Note
            Note Product image management relies on the explicit assignment of images to products. There is no pattern-based image lookup.

            The Image Management System accesses images, from B2C Commerce and external systems, by their URL reference. You specify the image location in the context of a catalog. A catalog can either specify an internal or an external image location. The default location (if you haven’t specified a location) points to the related internal catalog base directory.

            System URL Address
            Internal The system knows the first part of the URL (server address, other URL parts). You specify a base image path, for example, "/images/foo/".
            External

            You provide the first part of the URL. Specify an http URL or an https URL (protocol, server address, other URL parts).

            For example:

            http url = "http://www.yourimagelocation.com/foobar/"

            https url = "https://yoursecureimagelocation.com/foo/bar/"

            B2C Commerce stores the image location and relative image path separately.

            • B2C Commerce stores the image location with the catalog.
            • B2C Commerce stores the relative image path with the product (for example, "bar/your_image.gif").
            Note
            Note Configure a product image URL with a path up to 1800 characters. Together with the host path configured with a catalog's image settings, you can specify image URLs with up to 2056 characters. If you try to configure a longer path, Business Manager shows a warning and doesn't let you save the image settings of that product.
            Note
            Note The API class dw.content.MediaFile provides a complete URL based on both parts. See the B2C Commerce API documentation for more information.

            When assigning images to products, consider the following:

            • View Types
            • Image Variants
            • Swatches
            • Image Annotations
            • Image Storage
            • Image Transformation The image transformation service.
