How do I handle multiple images for a single product in WooCommerce

1. In your CSV file, use the "Images" column to specify multiple images:

- Separate multiple image URLs or filenames with a pipe symbol (|).
- The first image will be set as the main product image (featured image).
- Subsequent images will be added to the product gallery.

Example:

   image1.jpg|image2.jpg|image3.jpg
   

2. When importing:

- Ensure the "Images" column in your CSV is properly mapped during the import process.
- WooCommerce will automatically recognize the pipe-separated list and import the images accordingly[2].

3. For existing products in WooCommerce:

- Go to the product edit page.
- Scroll down to the "Product gallery" section.
- Add multiple images by clicking "Add product gallery images"[1].

4. To display multiple images on the single product page:

- Most themes automatically display the product gallery.
- If needed, you can customize the display using WooCommerce hooks and filters[1].

5. For variable products:

- You can add variation-specific images in addition to the main product images.
- These will display when a customer selects a specific variation[4].

6. Consider using plugins for advanced functionality:

- Plugins like "WooThumbs for WooCommerce" can enhance image display with features like zoom, sliders, and fullscreen views[4].

7. Optimize your images:

- Resize images to appropriate dimensions before uploading.
- Use image compression to reduce file sizes without significant quality loss[4].

8. When bulk importing:

- Ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly with the pipe-separated image list.
- Use the WooCommerce built-in importer or a plugin like WP All Import for more advanced options[3].

Remember to test your import with a small batch of products first to ensure everything is working as expected. Also, make sure all image URLs are valid and accessible if you're importing from external sources.
