Photos that sell
A phone is enough — what matters is light and a clean background.
- 1Shoot near a window in daylight, never with the flash
- 2Put the product on one plain surface: white paper or a plain cloth
- 3Frame it square, product in the middle
- 4The first photo is the cover — make it the clearest one
Three to five photos per product is plenty: the cover, another angle, a close-up, and one of the product in use.
Press Save as soon as the photos are chosen: the product is saved at once and the photos are sent in the background. A bar at the bottom of the screen shows how far it has got, and you can open other pages of your dashboard meanwhile. Do not close the page or the app until it shows ✓.
