Re: Need to import/export item images within the Item Library - Status changed to: Not currently planned

Hey there, @dpowell7299 & @JTPets 

 

I have merged the older posts to your Feature Request, so our Product Team can see how long our sellers have been requesting this particular feature. 

 

Currently, this isn't on the roadmap to get implemented. Doesn't mean it cannot get on there in the future. 

 

When we get more information, we can circle back to update the status. 

 

Thank you!

We have been entering these FREAKING feature requests for at least 2 years now and not a peep from you guys as to even IF you would do it.

I definitely get how you feel @IndyRick. For context, most of the features that exist in Square were made possible thanks to feedback from Sellers like you. 

 

It was never Square's intention to make you feel like your data is kept away from you. However, submitting a feature request puts this need front and center of our Product Team. 

 

Thank you for your understanding and I hope you have a great day.

Sorry, I can't wait on your development timing. I am developing (PHP &MySQL) my own display application that will make use of what data you do deign to provide right now. A business case shouldn't be required for data access. FREE MY DATA.

Thank you for taking the time to share your interest in this feature @alhstudio2021 At this time, exporting pictures isn't something that our team has planned. However, I recommend you submit a Feature Request here. This will help our product team get visibility and track other Sellers with similar interest in your request. 

 

Important: When submitting a request, make sure to include the desired feature, and provide the details of how this feature would help your business succeed (how would you use it and what you expect from it).

How to import/export item images within the Item Library?

[The title of this thread has been edited from the original: How to export items images together with the library to excel?]

 

I am trying to export my items library to my laptop excel. For some reasons the items images are not exported. Can anyone please tell me how do I do so? Thank you.

It's June 2020 and we can't import or export product photos? I have over 2K products I need to upload. You are tell me I have to upload photos one by one???? If you developers need help with a very simple setup, hire experienced developers. I just need a field to add photo's http locations...

 

I hate that you invest so much time into a product thinking it has all the basic features, then when it's time to kick start, you're devastated by the limitations. 

 

 

This should be a priority enhancement. I'm already looking at other options and will leave and use another store platform. 

 

Online store with no photos? Really? Upload one photo at a time its like buying a car to find out it doesn't come with tires, seats, or an engine. The lack of very basic Online store capabilities should be very clear to your customers!!!!!

 

People are too nice here and should be demanding this feature as it is basic.

 

It's easy to switch but we can never get back the time we lost or the time required for the process of switching sites/hosting, etc. 

 

This might be a legal issue??? Checking 

How about adding a column in the Excel inventory spreadsheet to put in a URL for product images?  If we could import the Inventory Spreadsheet into Square and tell it where to find the product image online (like from our business website) that would save an incredible amount of time.  Thanks! 

Is there a way to print or export item detail that includes the saved picture of the item

Hi @ccarter3! I've merged your post with an existing thread that will help answer your question. This is currently a feature request. Thank you!

@isabelle Requesting the same.  Ability to export and import images or URLs to images. Critically important and would be a great addition to so many.

EXACTLY! 

 

I know at least another 5-6 people with the same issue! 

 

If we can add a column where image can be hosted anywhere would be the perfect solution! 

 

 

This would be so helpful.

Is there a way to bulk upload all item images for all items?

Or do you have to edit each item separately to add image/s for that item one item at a time?

This seems to be a very time consuming effort and uses more data than bulk upload for those of us who live in rural areas with sorry internet with data caps.

@DAVEM1901 Unfortunately not. Images need to be uploaded one at a time. Definitely understand how that's very time consuming, but we're still tracking this as a feature request.
