How do you handle product images in SFCC?

Handling product images in Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) primarily involves configuring image URLs in the product settings within Business Manager. This process is crucial because Business Manager serves as the admin interface for managing all aspects of your SFCC site, including products and their associated attributes.

By using the product settings in Business Manager, you can specify different images for various use cases, such as thumbnails, detailed views, and variations of a product. This structured approach allows for better organization and management of images, ensuring that they are correctly associated with the respective products. The images configured here can be optimized for performance and displayed dynamically on the storefront, enhancing user experience.

Other options might imply alternative methods for handling images, but they do not align with the standard practice within SFCC. For instance, manually uploading images through the front end is not a typical workflow in SFCC, where backend management is preferred for consistency and control over product display. Linking images from an external CDN or using a local file system could introduce complexities related to image management and delivery, which are better handled within the SFCC platform through Business Manager's configurations.
