Hello, good evening. I have a problem with uploading my products. My set up is made like this, I have 13 different product sets using 1140 images total. And I have more than 300 of these sets with different product names and descriptions for a total of 40,000+ products. But in fact, there are only 13 unique products in terms of picture variety. Meaning that are only 1140 unique pictures total.
What I was doing on my old website before I switched to Shopify, I was first upload these 1140 images and then I would extract their links and then I would reuse the same links for all the other products. But in Shopify, I have been trying for more than a week now and I have not been successful to use a link of an image that is already uploaded to my shop. I providing the shopify CDN link from my files, both tried with and without the variant ?=variant tag to no avail. I tried everything. I dont want to upload 4 million images for 40000 products, that will kill my website.
Whenever I try to use the same link again when I’m using a CSV upload the Shopify system just generates a new image and makes a copy paste. By this method, I will have more than 4 million images inside your server and it will take me two months to upload all my inventory. I need help.
