The VentorTech connectors allow you to keep product images synchronized between Odoo and your connected E-Commerce platform. This ensures that your product catalog always contains consistent images across systems.
The connector manages both the main product image and additional product images, automatically synchronizing them during product import and export.
Images: Which Images are Synced?
Main Product Image
When a product is exported from Odoo to the store, the connector sends the main image and assigns it as the main product image in the external platform. The same works on import.
Additional Images
You can add multiple images extra images to a product in Odoo which are stored in a special field added by connector.
To add additional images:
Open product template or variant page in Odoo.
(For product template) Navigate to the E-Commerce Integration tab.
Scroll down to the Extra Product Images section.
Upload additional images.
During the next product export, the connector will:
Upload the images to the external store
Create image mappings linking internal images in Odoo with the corresponding images in the e-commerce platform
These mappings ensure that the connector can correctly update or delete images during future synchronizations.
Image Deletion
If you delete an image from the product page in Odoo, the connector will automatically delete the corresponding image from the external store during synchronization.
This ensures that both systems stay consistent and no unused images remain in the e-commerce platform.
Image Synchronization Triggers
In some cases you may not want to import images from external e-Commerce System (Prestashop, Shopify, Magento 2, Woocommerce) to Odoo, for example due to disk space limitations
Image synchronization occurs automatically during the following operations:
Product import from the external store to Odoo
Product export from Odoo to the e-commerce platform
During these processes, the connector checks the mappings and updates images accordingly. However, you can control whether images should be imported from the store or exported from Odoo.
To configure this:
Open the E-Commerce Integration application.
Select the Store you want to configure.
Open the Products tab.
Enable or disable the following options:
Enable Images Export – if Odoo is your main source of product images.
Enable Images Import – if the store manages product images.
This allows you to define the synchronization direction depending on your workflow.
Please Note
We recommend choosing a single synchronization direction to avoid conflicts and data loss. When the user enables both import and export, issues can sometimes occur (especially if webhooks are enabled).
Image Order Management (PrestaShop)
When using the connector for PrestaShop (starting from version 2.1.2), you can also control the order of product images directly from Odoo.
The order can be changed using drag-and-drop in the image list on the Odoo side. To trigger changes on the PrestaShop’s side, “Export Images Only” button should be pressed (available in Developer’s mode). It will re-create the existing mapping.
