Images and inventory help customers understand what they are buying and help your team avoid overselling. Add them before driving traffic to an offer.

What this guide helps you do

• Attach product visuals or placeholders.
• Set stock, variants, availability, or service capacity.
• Review the customer and fulfillment experience.

Before you start

• Prepare approved images or decide where placeholders are acceptable.
• Know stock counts, service capacity, variant names, and fulfillment limits.
• Check whether inventory should stop checkout when unavailable.

Do it manually

1. Open the product or offer record.
2. Add images, gallery items, or approved placeholder media.
3. Add SKU, stock, variants, capacity, or availability settings as relevant.
4. Preview the storefront or checkout display.
5. Place a test order for a variant or limited-stock item.
6. Update inventory before announcing the offer.

Ask Faster AI

• Review this product and suggest missing image, inventory, and variant details before launch.
• Create placeholder image notes for each product until final photography is ready.
• Prepare an inventory audit checklist for this product category.

Review before saving or publishing

• Check image crop, alt text, mobile layout, and whether placeholders are still visible.
• Confirm stock behavior for sold-out or limited items.
• Make sure staff know how fulfillment will be handled after purchase.

Common issues and fixes

• If the wrong image appears, refresh the product preview and confirm the saved media item.
• If customers can buy sold-out items, review inventory and checkout rules.
• If variants show the wrong price, check each variant separately.

Use it in daily operations

• Review images and inventory before every campaign send.
• Use consistent naming for variants and categories.
• Keep placeholder media marked until final assets replace it.

Team handoff

• Write down what changed, who owns the next review, and which page, customer record, campaign, or plugin record should be checked next.
• If the work affects customers, include the public URL, test result, and any unresolved placeholder media in the handoff note.
• When Faster AI helped prepare the change, ask it to summarize the draft and review checklist so a teammate can approve the work without retracing every click.
