When using SHOP Builder to add or edit advanced pages, you can add a "Slider" widget to add images and videos to your page, making it more aesthetically pleasing. 

⚠️ Before you begin:

  • SHOP Builder currently only supports Ultra Chic, Kingsman, Varm, and Philia theme templates.
  • After creating a page using SHOP Builder, the page can still be displayed even if you switch to other theme templates, but it cannot be edited and the layout may be messed up. Please take note of this before publishing the page.

Step 5

Click the image widget to individually upload for mobile and desktop versions respectively. 

1. Bulk upload

The system sorts according to the modification date of the image file, from top to bottom, from the most recently edited to the previous edited.

You can also upload one image at a time, and the thumbnails are sorted in the same way as bulk uploads.

*Notes:

  • It is recommended that the desktop version image width be greater than 2000 px, and the mobile version image width should be greater than 1080 px. 
  • If the upload fails due to the image file format, quantity, etc., the following error prompt may appear
    • Upload failure
      Error message: Fail to upload image (cannot display any thumbnails)
    • Partial upload failure
      Error message: Fail to upload some images (Automatically skip error files while displaying thumbnails)
