Steps
- 1
Add the main photo
On: Editor, step 3Under Main photo (top of the page) tap Add photo and choose a picture. It fills the top of your home page, so a wide picture of your shop front or your best work is ideal.
You should see: "Uploading…" shows for a moment, then the photo appears at the top of the preview.
- 2
Add gallery photos
On: Editor, step 3Under Gallery photos tap the + box and choose a photo. Repeat for each one. You can add up to 12.
You should see: Each photo appears as a small square, and the count next to the heading goes up.
- 3
Remove a photo
On: Editor, step 3Tap the ✕ on a gallery photo to take it off the website, or Remove under the main photo.
You should see: The photo disappears from the preview.
- 4
Watch the photo counter
On: Editor, step 3The small number under the gallery, such as 5/24, is how many photos you have uploaded out of your limit. The limit is 24 while your site is on the free trial and 60 once it is paid. A replaced photo still counts as one upload.
You should see: You can read how many uploads you have left.
Tips
- Photos are made smaller on your phone before they upload, so large camera photos are fine.
- Choose carefully before uploading: every upload uses one of your slots, even if you remove the photo afterwards.
Troubleshooting
- "Photo storage is full".
- You reached the limit. Remove photos you do not need, or pay for the year to raise the limit to 60.
- "Upload failed — check your internet and try again."
- Move to a place with better signal or use Wi-Fi, then tap the photo button again.
