Mapping variation images requires a few column headers and values. For quick reference, these are the basic variation image column headers:
VariationImageOption
VariationImageValue1
VariationImage1_1
Getting Started
We are going to walk through a real-world example.
The table below shows the Variation CSV we need to assign images to:
SKU | Parent SKU | Color | |
skuPARENT |
|
|
|
sku-red-2 | skuPARENT | red | 2 cm |
sku-red-3 | skuPARENT | red | 3 cm |
sku-blue-2 | skuPARENT | blue | 2 cm |
sku-blue-3 | skuPARENT | blue | 3 cm |
To map the variation images, we need:
Variation Options: The variation Item Specifics names (Color and Size)
Variation Values: The value for the Item Specifics (red, blue, and 2 cm, 3 cm)
Step 1 - Choose a Variation Option for Images
Important: Variation image data must be placed in the Parent SKU row.
Use the column
VariationImageOptionto enter the Item Specific Name as the Variation Option. (eBay only allows one variation option for variation images)
Color | CustomSpecific Size | VariationImageOption |
|
| Color |
red | 2 cm |
|
red | 3 cm |
|
blue | 2 cm |
|
blue | 3 cm |
|
Step 2 - Set Images for a Variation Value
Use the column
VariationImageValue1to enter an Item Specific value.
Color | VariationImageOption | VariationImageValue1 |
| Color | red |
red |
|
|
red |
|
|
blue |
|
|
blue |
|
|
Each variation image value will progress in the order:
VariationImageValue1,VariationImageValue2,VariationImageValue3,VariationImageValue4, etc.
Use column headers progressing like:
VariationImage1_1,VariationImage1_2to enter up to 12 image URLs:
Color | VariationImageOption | VariationImageValue1 | VariationImage1_1 | VariationImage1_2 |
| Color | red | example.com/red.jpg | example.com/rd.jpg |
red |
|
|
|
|
red |
|
|
|
|
blue |
|
|
|
|
blue |
|
|
|
|
Step 3 - Set Variation Images for Other Variation Values
Repeat step 2 for other variation values, progressing the numbers like: VariationImageValue2, VariationImage2_x.
Color | VariationImageOption | VariationImageValue1 | VariationImage1_1 | VariationImage1_2 | VariationImageValue2 | VariationImage2_1 | VariationImage2_2 |
| Color | red | example.com/red.jpg | example.com/rd2.jpg | blue | example.com/blue.jpg | example.com/blu.jpg |
red |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
red |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
blue |
|
|
|

blue |
