I can’t upload more than 5 images by importing a csv file; the file contains many more links to images than 5. Why does this happen? I have attached some example files please check them

Hi @VladyslavMih, hope you're well. If you have chance to store your images in Google Drive, maybe you can use Smart Bulk Image Upload app to automate bulk image upload process.

Hi Ozkan )
No i can't
Each product has only 10 photo links.

I don’t understand why Shopify introduced such restrictions? This is something not normal, and not comfortable

Wow, some guys never miss the opportunity to SELL! SELL! SELL! (even when it isn't the solution)

 

Here's my suggestion - your .csv needs to conform to what Shopify expects. The easiest way is to get a blank one:

  1. Create your product(s)
  2. Select your product(s) and export the them to a .csv
  3. Fill in the blanks for the images you want (see attached .csv) - Image Src & Image Position are the most important in your case
  4. I just used Handle in my example, so make sure the Handle is filled in for each row of Image Src & Image Position. You can experiment using some other identifier
  5. Import that .csv back into Shopify, decide if you want to overwrite, etc.

The attached .csv pulls in 9 images, you can probably get more.
