Thread: Upload Product Image via WSI

Hello,
Am I able to create a product along with its small/medium/large images via WSI? How can I do that?

Yes you can, the image would need to be Base64 encoded.

Here is a small snippet of what it would look like. Note that the content in the Images element is not complete, the Base64 encoding takes quite a bit of space.

Code:

<AspDotNetStorefrontImport Version="7.1" AutoLazyAdd="true" AutoCleanup="true" Verbose="true" TransactionsEnabled="true"><Transaction><Product Action="Add" EnsureDefaultVariant="True">
<Name>My Name</Name>
<Description>My Description</Description>
<FroogleDescription>Froogle Description</FroogleDescription>
<SE>
<SEName/>
<SETitle>My Title</SETitle>
<SEKeywords>My keywords</SEKeywords>
<SEDescription>SE Description</SEDescription>
</SE>
<ProductType Name="Generic Product"/>
<TaxClass Name="Goods"/>
<Display>
<XmlPackage>product.variantsindropdown.xml.config</XmlPackage>
<ColWidth>4</ColWidth>
<PageSize>20</PageSize>
</Display>
<Images UseAppConfigs="true">
<Large Extension="jpg" UseAppConfigs="true">
/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD/2wBDAAYEBAQFBAYFBQYJBgUGCQsIBgYICwwKCgsKCgwQDAwM

</Images>

great reply, but how can i get the base64 encrypted value?

What are you using to create the xml file to be uploaded? I personally used a Java app and just used the base64 encoding included with the jdk.

Ok, and you mean that we just need to encode the image into base64 regardless which tool is using, right?

Yep thats correct, like I said I used a java app but you could do it in any language, Base64 is Base64 the world around.

Great! Thanks man!
