Import stock images

Import stock images

Problem
How can I import images of my stock?

Solution
This can be done via one of two methods:

Method One
Do it manually from within the stock item record, as per the guide here: How to Add or Remove and Image Against a Stock Item.

Method Two
Add the images via the stock data import tool specifying the URL of the image.

Which method should I choose?
Both methods have different consequences long term:
  1. Images uploaded via the data import using the URL will have KCC always loading the image from the URL, it will never be stored on our servers and will stop appearing if the URL changes.
  2. Any images uploaded from jpg files (as per the first method) will be uploaded to our file server and stored locally.
