Image Upload via Google Drive Links
To enhance the user experience and simplify bulk uploads, noon now allows sellers to upload product images using Google Drive links. This eliminates the need for third-party tools and temporary image URLs, which often lead to a poor experience.
Set Sharing Permissions: Ensure that the image on Google Drive has the sharing setting set to "Anyone with the link."
Copy the Image Link: Copy the Google Drive link of the image.
Paste into NIS Template: Paste the link into the NIS template under the relevant image URL columns.
Proceed with Normal Upload Process: Continue the normal product upload process as usual.
Important Notes:
- The development allows sellers to use Google Drive links for images, but it doesn’t automatically adjust the images to meet the required aspect ratio and density. Sellers must ensure their images meet the required guidelines before uploading them. They need to save the correctly formatted images on their system and then generate the Google Drive link
That's it!
