Learn how to create a simple 3D shelf with below guide.

Before we get started we do need to make sure we have the following material prepared, in-order to work with the shelf builder platform correctly:

Step 1:

Product images. This is critical to the overall process. The product images must be to the following spec:

• Images must be in PNG format with the “background removed” quick web search will explain what this means

• image names must be alpha numeric only i.e.

  • a1123.png

  • a1.png

  • bb35.png

• If a product has side views like back or left, then this must be named with a correct suffix. Front images do not need any suffix.

  • a1123_left.png

  • a1123_back.png

  • a1_left.png

  • a1_back.png

  • bb35_left.png

  • bb35_back.png

• Resolution of images must be no less than 800 pixels in any one size. Do not be concerned with DPI. Resolution dose not need to be more than 1500pixels each side, as this does not bring any benefit to the respondents

• Image file size should be manageable, so anything that is around 1-5mb, you can upload bigger images, however this will take longer and if you have 100s of images, then it will take a very long time. Please make sure to resize your images accordingly,

Step 2:

Product export sheet is the CSV file that retains all the information for all the products across the project. This data file can be generated once all the images have been uploaded to the platform or, it can be uploaded first to the platform, then followed by the images. Both scenarios work.

Download the example file below to see the contents of the file.

How to fill-in the product export sheet?

The most important columns in the product sheet are A, I and J. These must be paid close attention.

...

A / PRODUCT_ID-(REQUIRED) - this is the image file name, i.e. a1, a1123 … This value must be 100% correct to make sure the values in the excel sheet match the product images once they are uploaded

...

E / Price-(REQUIRED) - make sure this is numerical only and does not also contain the currency symbol as part of the cell value

Step 3:

Uploading all the material to the platform. This is best illustrated in the video below. We will cover all the points above, as such, please make sure you read the above first.
