Images and videos can be added to your Media Library's Added section by clicking on 'Manage Media & Tags' in your Visual Shopping menu:
Your 'Added' section shows your photos and videos that have been added in from your Instagram feed, User Generated Content, or your own Uploads.
Click 'New' in your Media library option box to add more media from:
Instagram: This is your own Instagram feed
UGC: User Generated Content are posts and videos that other people have tagged you in and a powerful source of Social Proof that boosts conversion in your Product Pages
Uploads: You can upload your own high res photos to be tagged with your products.
To add an image to your Media Library from any grid hover over it and click on the blue 'Add Media' button:
Tag your image with one of more products by copy-pasting your product page URL into the URL box provided:
Alternatively, if you are already fully connected (supported platforms include: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, SupaDupa, Etsy) with your eCommerce store you can more simply search by the product's name:
Tag as many photos and products as you wish. You can add more tagged images as new ones become available in your Instagram feed, User Generated Content, and your own uploads.
