Can Customers Upload Images on Shopify?

Last updated on January 7, 2023 @ 1:13 pm

Yes, customers can upload images on Shopify. This is a great feature that allows them to share product photos with their followers or other potential customers. There are two ways to do this:

The first way is to use the built-in image uploader. This can be found in the “Settings” -> “Files” -> “Upload files” section of your Shopify admin. Simply click the “Choose file” button, select the image you want to upload, and then click the “Upload file” button.

The second way is to use a third-party image hosting service like Flickr or Imgur. These services allow you to upload images and then provide you with a URL that you can share with others. To use this method, simply upload your image to the service of your choice and then copy the URL they provide.

To share an image using the built-in image uploader:

  1. Go to Settings -> Files -> Upload files.
  2. Click Choose file.
  3. Select the image you want to upload and click Open.
  4. Click Upload file.
  5. Copy the URL of the image from the “Link” field.
  6. Paste the URL into an email, blog post, or chat message.

To share an image using a third-party image hosting service:

  1. Go to the website of your chosen service.
  2. PRO TIP: If you allow customers to upload images on your Shopify store, there is a risk that they may upload inappropriate or offensive images. If this happens, it could reflect badly on your business and you may receive complaints from other customers.
  3. Upload your image.
  4. Copy the URL of the image from their site.
  5. Paste the URL into an email, blog post, or chat message.

Conclusion

Yes, customers can upload images on Shopify. There are two ways to do this: using the built-in image uploader or a third-party image hosting service like Flickr or Imgur.
