Create Product Image

🔒

Requires write_product access scope. More access scope

The Create Product Image APIallows users to upload and associate a new image with a specific product by providing the product's ID and image details. This API ensures efficient management of product images, enabling users to specify image attributes like dimensions, position, and alternative text.This API is especially useful for:

  1. Upload new images for products to enhance their display and marketing.
  2. Specify image attributes such as width, height, position, and alternative text for better presentation.

Note: The operation is scoped to a specific shop, identified by its unique domain prefix (shopdomain), ensuring all updates are applied to the correct store.
