I don’t know how possible it would be, but mass importing photos of products, the same way you mass import products with a CSV somehow would be incredible. I have been manually adding photos after importing an order or new products.
Topic summary
A Shopify developer is seeking app ideas and pain points from store owners to build solutions.
Suggestions received:
-
Mass photo importing: A request for bulk image uploads similar to CSV product imports, though the developer notes existing dropshipping apps may already handle this functionality.
-
Analytics and bot detection: Concerns about bot traffic inflating store analytics. The developer questions how widespread this issue is and asks what users would pay for such a solution, noting they haven’t personally encountered this problem frequently.
-
Custom order management (most detailed): A store owner handling made-to-order products describes a significant workflow bottleneck. Currently, viewing customization details (colors, names, specifications) requires clicking into each unfulfilled order individually. The proposed app would display unfulfilled orders with product images and all customization details visible in a scrollable list view—similar to Etsy’s interface—plus options to check off completed items, print packing slips, and reorder based on workflow needs.
The discussion remains open, with the developer actively requesting clarification and gauging demand for each suggestion.
