PIM users, we’re ready to introduce a major update that our team has been working on: the Bulk Media Match tool — a feature designed specifically for bulk uploading media to Shopify products.
You might be wondering, “A match tool? Is it really that useful?” If you’re a Shopify user managing hundreds—or even thousands—of products and images, the answer is yes.
When building this feature, we thought about all those hours spent manually linking product media to products or their variants. It’s repetitive, time-consuming, and, let’s be honest, no one enjoys it. That’s why we created a solution to make the process faster and easier to manage.
With the Bulk Media Match tool, the system does the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. Here’s how it works.
What the Bulk Media Match Tool Does
The Bulk Media Match tool is designed to eliminate the hassle of pairing media files with their products in your Shopify store. Forget dragging and dropping images one by one or second-guessing if everything is linked correctly—this tool automates the process for you.
Here’s what makes it so practical:
- Automated Media Matching
At the heart of the tool is a smart matching system that uses identifiers like SKUs, product names, or file names to automatically pair media with the correct products. Think of it as having a super-organized assistant that gets it right every time, saving you hours of manual effort.
- Bulk Uploads
Managing a folder full of product images? No problem. Upload them all at once, and the tool takes care of the rest. It scans the uploaded files, matches each image to its corresponding product, and ensures precision—no need for tedious, manual matching.
- Error Detection and Review
What happens if something doesn’t match or an image is missing? The tool flags any issues for you to review and fix. This built-in safety net ensures no product is left without the correct media and allows you to maintain a clean, error-free catalog.
- Simplicity in Design
We’ve kept it straightforward and focused—this tool does one job and does it well: matching your products with the right images. There are no unnecessary features to complicate the process or slow you down.
How Bulk Media Match Works
Using the Bulk Media Match tool is simple and intuitive. Here’s how to get started:
- Upload your images: Start by uploading your images to Toriut PIM. You can go one at a time if you’re working with a small batch or upload them all at once for larger collections. Either way, it’s quick and easy.
- Let the tool work its magic: Once your images are in the system, the tool takes over. It scans the uploaded files and matches them to your products using the identifiers you’ve set up—like SKUs, product names, or file names.
- Review the matches: Before everything is finalized, you’ll have the chance to review the matches. This step is where you can double-check for accuracy and make any adjustments if something doesn’t line up.
- Confirm and you’re done: Happy with the matches? Hit confirm, and the tool will link each image to its corresponding product in your catalog. That’s it—your product images are now ready to go!
