Link BigCommerce for product images and texts
Approved images in their fixed location and text with SEO fields directly in BigCommerce.
- In production
This is the route

- Photopilot finds the product by SKU.
- Images go into their fixed positions; image 1 becomes the thumbnail.
- The title, description, page title, and meta description are updated.
BigCommerce at a glance
- What is exchanged
- Photopilot places an approved image in its fixed position on the product and replaces the image that was there. Image 1 becomes the thumbnail. Copy is written to the name, description, page title, and meta description. Photopilot deliberately leaves the URL and custom fields unchanged so existing links keep working.
- How often
- An approved image usually reaches BigCommerce through the export queue within a few minutes. The new image is added first, and only then is the old one removed, so a product is never left without an image.
- What you provide
- An API account in BigCommerce with the store hash and an access token with write access to products.
- Good to know
- If your team rearranges images in BigCommerce, Photopilot preferably replaces the image it previously placed in that position, so your own order is preserved.
