You can upload images to your Quick Shopping Cart to display as your store logo, invoice, category, and product images. Quick Shopping Cart supports various image formats, including JPG, animated or transparent GIF, PNG, and BMP, with a maximum file size of 16 MB.

You can also set images to be interactive, allowing users to zoom in and out while viewing a product. Enable this feature by selecting Interactive Image Viewer in the Product Display Preferences section of your Storefront Preferences.

NOTE: To display images in the Interactive Image Viewer, you must upload images greater than 365 pixels wide and 465 pixels high, using JPG, PNG, or BMP format.

Uploading JPG Files

When you upload a JPG file, Quick Shopping Cart resizes the image to fit the page layout. We recommend you use JPG files if you do not want to manually resize your images.

Size dimensions are:

  • Product Thumbnail - 60 x 60 pixels
  • Product Standard - 175 x 175 pixels
  • Product ZOOM - 400 x 400 pixels
  • Category Image - 175 x 175 pixels
  • Category Thumbnail - 60 x 60 pixels
  • Logo in Header - 150 x 75 pixels
  • Welcome Message Image - 300 x 300 pixels

Uploading GIF Files

Before uploading a GIF file, you need to manually set the image height and width in an image editing program. When you upload the GIF, Quick Shopping Cart displays it at the size you specified.

You can upload animated GIFs or transparent GIFs (where the background color displays through the transparent areas). Quick Shopping Cart does not convert GIFs to JPGs or resize them when you add a GIF through the Advanced Form.

When adding GIFs through the Quick Form, you can only upload the Standard image. Quick Shopping Cart converts the GIF to a JPG and uses it as the Thumbnail image. If you want a different thumbnail image, you can upload a different image by editing the product detail.

Uploading PNG and BMP Files

When you upload PNG or BMP files, Quick Shopping Cart converts the file to a JPG file and resizes it according to the JPG dimensions.

Invoice Images

Unlike the images for Products, Categories, or Logos, Invoice images carry different restrictions and characteristics. For example, Invoice images:

  • Can be JPGs, animated GIFs, transparent GIFs, PNGs, or BMPs.
  • Are not automatically resized, regardless of file type.
  • Do not have a pixel dimension restriction (such as 60x60).
