4. Repeat step 3 for each product

If you added multiple images in the first step, you’ll have to add details for each of the other images you selected, if you discover you need to change something in the previous item, you can always click on the “Previous item” button and make the correction, you can also delete an item by clicking on the “Remove item” button at the top.

5. Upload products
