You can import product images in two ways:

  1. External URLs Reference images hosted elsewhere via their URLs.

  2. Local WordPress Library Download and store images in your WP Media Library.

Local Storage & Background Processing

  • When you choose to save images locally, only the main product image appears immediately.

  • Gallery images are fetched and saved in the background via a cron job.

  • Admins will see a notification on the frontend if a product still has images queued for processing.

  • The plugin processes ~20 products every 5 minutes. → Make sure your cron system is running correctly if gallery images remain unprocessed for an extended period.

External Gallery Limits

  • External galleries support up to 9 additional images per product.

Troubleshooting

  • Cron not running? Verify your server’s cron or WP-Cron setup.

  • Gallery images not extracted Not all shops provide product microdata for galleries. In this case, a custom parser will be required to scrape gallery images.
