2020 has not particularly been a good year for any of us but in spite of all the struggles that we’re facing together, ExportFeed’s development team has been vigorously working remotely to make sure we still do our best to serve our loyal customers. 

During this process, we’re delighted to announce that ExportFeed is officially launching variation image support for Etsy for Shopify. 

You will now be able to link your listing photos to a specific variation so shoppers can see all the details for themselves. 

This helps avoid any confusion regarding exactly which option your customers are choosing. 

How variation image support helps your Etsy customers

When any of your customers make a selection from the variations drop-down and choose an option that has a linked photo, they will be able to see the image of their choice on the listing page and all the way through checkout. 

For instance, let’s say a shopper is looking at a black jacket of size 30. This specific option will be displayed automatically in her cart at checkout so she knows exactly what she’s ordering.

Why variation image support is great for your business

You will instantly notice that your support team will start getting fewer questions relating to different variations. 

If your store is giving more details in a transparent manner, you can spend less time trying to explain each option in your listing description.

This means no more adding text to your images that clutter its thumbnails. 

How can I use ExportFeed’s variation image support for Etsy? 

Here’s the fun part – you do not have to follow any extra step other than continue creating your Etsy feeds as usual.

ExportFeed’s system can automatically detect when you’re uploading different variations image to your product and feed it accordingly to Etsy. 

You can give our Shopify app a try and see for yourself how convenient it is for your business.
