Frequently asked Questions

Question: I've been using the "image URL" on the item tab of the item editor. It says is "deprecated" and I understand that means it will be going away soon. What is the alternative?

Answer: The field has been deprecated for quite a while. In the new UI that we're rolling out, the "image URL" field won't be visible to new merchants or any merchants that hasn't already used it. So that will start the wind down of the field. Externally hosted images are more problematic to check for updates and work with and that is why we created the multimedia tab of the item editor where you can manage all your item's graphical assets. The same thumbnail creation routine is employed for the deprecated field and the Multimedia Tab of the item editor, so you won't encounter and issues in that regard.

Question: What are the costs incurred by images configured with the Multimedia Tab?

Answer: 2 cents MB for storage and 50 cents GB for bandwidth. Most merchants don't incur a tremendous amount on bandwidth, but our system does provide for complete image optimization and CDN edge serving of the content, and dynamic sprite creation for optimal page speed within catalog (and soon to be storefront) configurations, i order to provide the most value to cost incurred.

Question: Besides the loading of the thumbnail in the shopping cart, in what other instances are the images served to users?

Answer: Besides the thumbnail in the cart, the images are used in the following instances:

• Catalog pages
• Related items listing
• My Account portal
• Item search results
