Attached will be 2 spread sheets one for simple products one for variable products as a sample example of how they must be laid out to import your products.
- Product Images
On the spread sheet the last column will be for your product images.

Download the image for the particular product to folder images. Be sure the name of the image matches the name of the product or product SKU for identification.
all Images should be in the .jpg format
The link to put in the images column for a product is :
