Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/import-and-export-products-via-csv-r140/example-csv-import-for-products-with-photos-a484/

During a first import, you'd like to integrate images to your products.
It is possible, but your photos must be online, it means having a URL*
You can import up to 25 images per products.

The import is made with a CSV file, you can see all possible solutions in the online help about the [CSV products import](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/import-and-export-products-via-csv-r140/import-products-via-csv-files-a457/) .

**Images URLs must be valid.
You must have the permission to use those pictures or the images are free of use and their URLs are not protected.*

## 1. New products import without variant and with 1 or several images

1. Leave the **product_id** and **variant_options** empty, they will be created automatically,
2. **variant_sku** corresponds to your product reference, it must be unique,
3. Use the **product_pict_url** to fill in the Photo URL associated to your product.
